11 Reasons Why Flying Private is Worth It - Private Jet Advantages

"I've never flown private before, why should I?" - A question often asked, especially by people new to the private jet business. Indeed, seeing someone board a private plane usually leads the average person to believe it's only reserved for celebrities or some other very wealthy person. However, this isn't necessarily true. The private aviation industry has expanded over the years,  becoming more available to the average person , for reasons including prices and the many benefits.

The idea of flying on a commercial flight is not appealing to everyone. For some, flying  commercially has become more of a hassle than ever before. Private flights offer an alternative for those who prefer more privacy and luxury than what's found in most major airports and airlines. Flying privately offers comfort, privacy, flexibility and convenience that you just won't find anywhere else.

Here are some reasons why people should consider flying private.

1. Save Valuable Time

Flying commercially can be a hectic experience. You have to take into account security lines, crowded airports and long hours of flight time and layovers. Commercial flights might save you some cash, but they will cost you precious time, which for many is more valuable than money. With private jets, you skip all the hassle and headache-inducing hassles. You can sit back, relax and enjoy the flight while saving valuable time to do what's important.

In the air within 15 minutes after your arrival at the airport. This presents a huge time-related advantage in comparison to waiting times of up to two hours with scheduled flights.

Did you know business aviation leads to large time savings for its travelers, saving an average of 2 hours (127 minutes) per flight over commercial aviation? (Source: EBAA)

"A business jet, when used properly, is a productivity enhancement tool. A time machine, if you will."

2. Stress-Free Traveling

No cramped spaces, no waiting lines, no noisy fellow passengers, no middle seats, no smelly bathrooms ; traveling by private jet is a stress-free experience . There's no need to worry or think about anything but getting from point A to B in the most comfortable and convenient way possible.

You can continue working on your laptop or just sit back and enjoy the flight, while we take away all possible causes of stress. Just so you can continue doing what you need to do.

The (business) world is already stressful enough, your flights shouldn't be.

3. Improved Work Efficiency

People fly private for a variety of reasons and purposes. One of the main reasons is for business purposes , hence why the term business aviation is often used interchangingly with private aviation.

Working while flying can be a great opportunity to get things done and be productive in the air. Whether you're attending a meeting, working on business strategies or just need time away from distractions, traveling by private jet is quick and efficient, providing an invaluable work session without the hassle of commercial flights.

Business aviation impacts the bottom line by improving efficiency.

Also, the quietness and privacy of a private jet cabin can be the perfect place to have an efficient meeting, saving you precious time at your destination. You get privacy when working on your laptop or catching up with work at 30,000 feet.

Whether it is to improve your work efficiency on board, avoid distractions by other passengers, or perhaps just to wow your clients, flying with a private jet service will ensure that you stay productive from start to finish by making sure that your travel is worry-free and convenient.

Flying private also ensures that you reach your destination more quickly and efficiently, which allows you more time for client meetings, site inspections or other important business matters upon arrival.

Although company owners are frequent private jet travelers, you don't have to be a business owner to charter a private jet. Private jet charters are also popular among people who greatly value their privacy .

When you're on a commercial flight, there's no telling who will be sitting next to you. As the name "private jet travel" already suggests, you'll be the only people on board aside from the crew.

This privacy is practically unmatched by any other type of air travel.

When you fly on a commercial airline, everyone in your row can hear everything you say to one another. If you're trying to conduct business or talk about personal matters, other people overhearing your conversation can be very intrusive.

What's more, other passengers might get loud or rowdy, making it difficult to accomplish anything or sit back and relax . You could spend the entire flight worrying about everyone around you instead of focusing on what matters most to you.

Also, for those who love to travel, the likelihood of being recognized is not an issue. But for those who are living a private lifestyle, flying privately is the only way to ensure that your privacy and anonymity will be upheld .

Flying in a private jet also means that you can avoid the dreaded middle seat. You'll have your comfortable seat, as many as you need, and no one will be next to you who doesn't belong there. This is especially great for those who travel with their families or don't enjoy traveling with strangers.

Anyone looking for privacy in the skies should at least consider flying private during their next trip, whether that's a romantic getaway, business trip or family holiday.

5. Comfort and Luxury

Flying on a private jet is a more luxurious way of traveling , offering more amenities and roomier seating. Instead of cramming yourself into a small seat, you can stretch out and relax in your own private space. Private jet flights offer more than just privacy though; they also offer comfort and luxury for their passengers.

With no strangers sitting next to you, near or far, you can recline in comfort and sleep soundly for the duration of the flight, spend quality time with your family, or get some work done.

You are free to wander about the cabin, stretch out on couches or even pull back a seat to take naps between destinations.

Also, you will have access to a galley that often features either a minibar or more extensive catering options, and enjoy the onboard entertainment system. All to make sure your flight is as relaxed and comfortable as possible .

The exclusive, personal service with all kinds of extra luxuries is of course included.

6. Convenience & Flexibility

Private jets make travel more convenient in many ways.

One of the main examples illustrating this is unexpected or last-minute trips.

It's no secret that last-minute commercial airline reservations are expensive. While some airlines reduce the cost of bookings to increase the number of passengers they carry, others actually raise their ticket prices in order to increase revenues. This is rarely seen with private jet charters, who mostly charge the same price, no matter if the departure is in a few days or a few months.

Since private flights are on-demand, you're able to schedule your flight at the time of day that is most convenient for you.

Going to a business meeting in London from Brussels would take you a full day when flying private, or perhaps even require an overnight stay. A private jet can make the same trip in a matter of hours , so you are back in the office before the end of the working day.

7. Access to More Airports

Traveling by private jet has another practical advantage: You can fly to smaller airports that would be inaccessible by commercial airline flights.

Private jet charters can land at airports with shorter runways than what are available to commercial planes. You will have the luxury of choosing which airport you want to land at instead of landing at a busy commercial hub.

This allows passengers to fly more efficiently because they are choosing the best airport for their destination rather than taking whatever airport is closest. This saves you precious travel time and allows you to land closer to where you need to be .

In the United States alone, business airplanes can reach some 5,000 airports; the airlines only reach about 500. (Source: NBAA)

In the entire world, the number of airports accessible to private jets is many times higher than those accessible to commercial flights. And this not even includes all the places accessible by a private helicopter flight!

Some interesting examples of airports accessible by private jets but not by commercial airlines include

• La Môle airport in Saint-Tropez, France
• Kortrijk-Wevelgem airport, Belgium
• Courchevel altiport, France
• London Biggin Hill, UK

8. Even Your Pets are a VIP

Luxury travelers may also want to consider that their pets can travel with them in style on private jets. Most charter companies and operators allow you to bring your pets along when you're traveling by chartered jet.

Fly private and treat your trusty dog, cat or other pet like the real VIPs he or she is.

9. Travel Between Private Jet Terminals

Flying private also means traveling to and from small business terminals and private lounges , often called FBOs (Fixed Base Operators). The perfect way to avoid busy crowds at large terminals, especially during these challenging times.

One great example of this is our own The Aviation Factory lounge at Antwerp airport, it's hard to not feel like a celebrity when hanging out here!

10. Culinary Delights

When flying commercially, you frequently find yourself stuck with the food and drinks provided by the airline company. It's rare for airlines to offer special meals on request or for people who have dietary restrictions.

When you fly private, however, your culinary experience can be entirely in your own hands . You can pre-order meals in advance, select your favorite beverages, and take off with all your favorite snacks for a totally customized flying experience.

Flying private is like traveling in a five-star restaurant.

11. Fewer Baggage Restrictions

The final benefit we would like to mention here is the advantage of traveling with fewer baggage restrictions.

Most private jets have generous baggage allowances, less strict on weight and size than when traveling commercially. Especially for oddly-sized items such as golf bags or skiing equipment, commercial airlines often require you to pay extra fees, if it's even possible to take them with you at all.

This can be a huge benefit if you are someone who likes to travel with a lot of gear or have multiple sporting hobbies that require large items, such as skis, surfboards, etc. Other travelers, such as engineers, may need to take bulky and heavy equipment with them to their destination, and private jets can accommodate these needs without the extra fees or hassle.

Another benefit regarding baggage is the probability of your luggage being lost with a commercial airline. Every day, thousands of commercial passengers arrive at their destination without their luggage, either due to technical problems, airlines losing luggage, misconnecting flights, delays, etc.

The probability of your luggage being lost when flying private is practically non-existent , as you are always in direct contact with your aircraft crew, and you can collect your luggage as soon as you exit the airplane.

Flying by private jet also means you will lose less time retrieving your baggage, which again illustrates the important time-saving benefit.

Some more Interesting Facts About Business/Private Aviation in 2021

Finally, let's look at some other interesting facts about business aviation in the United States in 2021, mentioned in NBAA's 2021 Business Aviation Fact Book publication.

These facts offer some additional advantages that private travel may offer, for your business or personal needs.

• 80% of business airplane flights are to airports in small towns and communities.
• 86% of flights carry marketing and sales personnel, technical and engineering staff, middle managers and company customers - not top executives.
• 98% of Fortune Magazine's Top 50 World's Most Admired Companies use business aviation.
• 15,000 yearly flights business aircraft make for humanitarian reasons.
• Business aviation helps support more than 1 million jobs in the US.

Note: the figures and facts above apply to the United States, but we can safely assume these benefits can be found in the rest of the world as well.

Flying private has long been a symbol of prestige and affluence. Whether it is for business or pleasure, flying on a private jet can make the difference between having an excellent experience and having a mediocre one. It's why many people consider it to be worth the higher travel cost.

There are several compelling reasons why you should at the very least consider chartering a private jet. In reality, the 11 reasons mentioned above are just a handful of the many benefits. A private jet charter may be ideal for any purpose, from arranging a romantic last-minute getaway to attending a business meeting.

Regardless of your reasons, we encourage you to at least inquire about chartering a private jet for your future travel plans. If you'd like to charter a private jet or receive a custom quote for your next trip, contact our private jet team direct at [email protected] .

The Benefits of Private Jet Travel

Bespoke snacks, comfortable seats, and dedicated security lines are just the beginning.

Take the Airbus A321 , for example, designed exclusively for smaller group sizes. It boasts just 52 custom Italian leather flatbed seats with full bedding and hospital-grade air filtration among other amenities—all while burning 30 percent less fuel than its competitors. Surely you know what you won't get (screaming babies and sore knees), but maybe not everything you will get with a private jet vacation. Here are key benefits for taking flight with these industry experts.

No Wasted Time

With commercial air travel, you can lose hours of vacation time to tedious boarding procedures, lengthy layovers, and delays. Just jetting between two cities in the U.S. can take the better part of a day. But with private jet travel, you'll get to your destination in significantly less time thanks to a variety of factors. When TCS World Travel experts duplicated their flagship Around the World itinerary on commercial airlines, they concluded that you'd need to tack on an extra 10 days to replicate the 24-day journey. For instance, to get to all of the destinations via commercial airline, it would take 26 flights versus 15 direct flights with TCS. The company also calculated that to take this trip commercially, you'd spend 74 hours waiting in the airport during layovers.

Ultimate Flexibility

Flying private guarantees the ability to travel whenever best suits your schedule. Conveniently, TCS World Travel has the ability to reroute (or reschedule) a trip if conditions in the destination change or you're forced to alter your plans. Flying commercial, on the other hand, comes with a host of obstacles. You have to abide by set departure and landing times, and you also run the risk of missing your flight over some road traffic—or having your flight canceled altogether.

Direct Access to More Destinations

Whether you want to visit idyllic islands in the South Pacific, see ancient wonders in Jordan, or taste your way through Mexico City's vibrant food scene, there's no end to the places you can discover via private air travel. In fact, because private jets are able to land at smaller airports and take direct routes to their destinations, you'll get where you're going more efficiently. The Airbus A321 can soar for eight hours of uninterrupted travel time. By comparison, not only do commercial airlines have limited route networks, but nonstop flights are largely limited to hubs. For example, on TCS World Travel's Around the World trip, travelers fly direct from Peru to Chile's Easter Island—whereas most commercial flights to this remote locale go through Santiago.

A More Streamlined Experience

From the moment you board a TCS World Travel flight, everything is taken care of for you. Not only do you not have to present identification or have your luggage scanned, but once you land, your bags will be directly transferred to your hotel room. And when it comes to customs, staff prefill all forms at every stop, so all you have to do is sign. (Occasionally, TCS has their very own customs counter.) On board, there's an in-flight emergency-room trained physician in addition to the specialized flight crew.

Business or Pleasure? Balancing the Benefits of Private Jets

In recent years, the allure of private jet travel has soared, attracting not just the ultra-wealthy, but also top-tier professionals and influencers seeking efficiency, convenience, and luxury. This surge in popularity reflects broader economic and technological developments, which have made private jets more accessible and appealing.

Here, we will explore how various groups—business leaders, celebrities, and affluent travelers—are increasingly opting for private jet travel for both short and long-distance journeys, reshaping the landscape of personal and professional travel.

The Allure of Private Jet Travel

Private jet travel offers a unique blend of privacy, efficiency, and luxury that is unmatched in the world of commercial flights. For those looking to escape the public eye, save precious time, and indulge in personalized luxury, private jets provide the perfect solution.

From avoiding crowded airports to enjoying custom-tailored amenities aboard, every aspect of private jet travel is designed to enhance the travel experience, making each journey as enjoyable as the destination itself.

The Privacy Advantage

In today’s digital age, privacy has become increasingly rare and valuable, making it a top priority for many who travel. Private jets offer a sanctuary away from the bustling crowds and intrusive eyes of public travel.

This level of privacy is particularly crucial for celebrities, business leaders, and public figures who seek to maintain discretion around their travel plans and personal time. The ability to fly without the presence of strangers or the media allows these individuals to relax, work, or hold confidential discussions without concern for eavesdropping or unwanted attention.

Private jet travel not only ensures privacy from the boarding process to landing but also provides a controlled environment where personal and professional life can be managed without interruptions.

Time-Saving and Convenience

The efficiency of private jet travel is unmatched by commercial airlines, providing significant time savings that are invaluable for both business and leisure travelers.

By bypassing long check-in lines and crowded airport terminals, passengers can arrive minutes before departure rather than hours. Additionally, the flexibility to schedule flights according to personal timetables allows travelers to fly on their own terms, drastically reducing the downtime associated with waiting for scheduled flights.

This convenience transforms travel from a time-consuming task into an integrated, hassle-free part of one’s itinerary, making it possible to attend meetings in different cities in a single day or to maximize vacation time.

Tailored Travel Experiences

Private jets redefine the concept of travel luxury, offering bespoke experiences that cater precisely to the preferences and desires of each passenger.

From gourmet meals crafted by personal chefs to interiors designed according to the traveler’s specifications, every detail is meticulously arranged to ensure comfort and elegance.

Additionally, the jets are equipped with advanced entertainment systems, fully reclining seats for restful sleep, and even onboard showers, ensuring that passengers can arrive at their destinations refreshed and relaxed.

These luxurious amenities transform every journey into a highly personalized and pampered experience, elevating the standard of air travel to exceptional new heights.

Business Benefits of Private Jet Travel

In the dynamic realm of business, private jets symbolize the pinnacle of efficiency, enabling executives to circumvent the time-consuming processes associated with commercial flying.

This unparalleled efficiency allows for scheduling flexibility, quicker routes, and access to less crowded airports, which collectively enhance productivity and responsiveness to business demands.

Furthermore, private jets double as mobile offices equipped with cutting-edge technology, providing a quiet, uninterrupted environment for conducting meetings and strategic planning while en route.

This agility is indispensable for global business leaders who need to manage operations across multiple countries efficiently, ensuring they can meet tight schedules while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Efficiency in the Air

Private jets allow executives to circumvent the time-draining obstacles typically encountered with commercial travel. By having the flexibility to depart according to their own schedules, utilize more direct flight routes, and land at less crowded airports, executives can significantly cut down on travel time.

This reduction in time spent traveling not only boosts productivity but also enables a faster and more dynamic response to emerging business opportunities, giving companies a competitive edge in the global market.

On-the-Go Meetings

Private jets transform into airborne offices, equipped with the technology and comfort necessary for effective remote work.

High-speed internet and advanced conference facilities allow travelers to conduct real-time meetings, collaborate with teams, and make crucial business decisions while thousands of feet in the air.

The quiet, controlled environment is ideal for concentration, devoid of the usual interruptions found on commercial flights, such as loud passengers or announcements.

This ability to maximize productivity during flights turns travel time into a strategic asset, enabling business leaders to tackle projects efficiently and arrive prepared and proactive.

The Connectivity Advantage

The expansive reach of modern business necessitates rapid international travel, and private jets are pivotal in meeting these demands by providing unparalleled connectivity.

These aircraft enable executives to traverse multiple countries within a brief period, streamlining international operations. The agility of private jet travel allows business leaders to efficiently manage global engagements, attend crucial meetings across different continents, and still return home swiftly, thus preserving a balanced personal life.

This logistical advantage is crucial for sustaining high-level international relationships and executing strategies that require a global presence.

The Pleasure Perspective

Private jets offer bespoke amenities that surpass even the most luxurious first-class commercial experiences, including custom interiors, on-demand gourmet dining, and superior entertainment systems.

Beyond comfort, private jets provide access to remote and exclusive destinations via smaller airports, enabling adventurers to explore the world’s hidden gems with ease. Moreover, private jets enhance family and group travel, offering privacy and exclusivity for memorable experiences.

Luxury Amenities

Charter jets revolutionize travel by combining the highest standards of luxury with personalized comfort, significantly elevating the experience beyond what commercial first-class can offer.

They are equipped with interiors crafted by top designers, featuring custom seating that can be adjusted to suit individual preferences or needs. The culinary experience is equally exquisite, with on-demand gourmet meals prepared according to passenger tastes.

Additionally, state-of-the-art entertainment systems ensure that every journey is as enjoyable as the destination itself, providing a truly bespoke travel experience that caters to the most discerning passengers.

Accessing Remote and Exotic Locations

One of the most significant benefits of private jet travel is the unparalleled access it provides to remote and exotic locations around the world .

Unlike commercial airlines, private jets have the flexibility to land at smaller, less accessible airports. This capability opens up a treasure trove of destinations, from untouched beaches and secluded islands to quaint rural hideaways that are often unreachable via conventional routes.

Travelers can effortlessly explore these unique spots without the complications of connecting flights or lengthy drives from major airports, making each journey as straightforward as it is adventurous.

Family and Friends

Traveling with family and friends is about crafting memories just as much as it is about reaching a destination, and private jets enhance this experience by offering unmatched privacy and comfort.

These jets allow for highly personalized trips tailored to the specific desires of each group, whether it’s a surprise birthday celebration at a secluded beach or a multi-generational family vacation in a remote mountain retreat.

The privacy ensures that these special moments are shared without interruptions, fostering a closer bond among passengers as they enjoy a luxurious, stress-free journey together.

Save (lots of) time and see (much) more by flying with tcs world travel..

Picture this: You pull up to a private airport with no lines, climb aboard a spacious jet, and fly nonstop with ease to a remote destination, where you can jump right into what you love: exploring a new location.

This is just one of the upsides when you let private jet tour company TCS World Travel take you under its wing. In fact, choosing a curated itinerary on the TCS private jet over commercial flights can revolutionize your travel experience. It means fewer hours in the air, more flexibility, less headaches, and more time immersed in the destination. Here’s how to travel the world in style, comfort...and efficiency.

Get Direct Access Fly commercial and you have no choice but to abide by the airlines’ routes. Flying private with TCS World Travel, however, means you can travel directly between most destinations, avoiding hubs and taking advantage of routes that may not even be available on regular airlines. What does this mean for you on a journey with TCS World Travel? On their Around the World trip, for example, you’ll fly straight from Lima to iconic Easter Island, when everyone else has to go through Santiago. Traveling to Southern Africa? Take the Best of Africa tour and soar from the Okavango Delta to Victoria Falls in about 40 minutes (compared with 21 hours+ commercially). And on the Islands and Outposts of the Atlantic tour, fly directly from the Azores to Essaouira, Morocco—a trip that includes two layovers on regularly scheduled airlines.

Enjoy Time Savings What sounds better: spending 9 hours in an airport, or 84? On TCS World Travel’s 24-day Around the World expedition, that’s the difference between their itinerary and doing the same trip on commercial airlines. You’ll also spare yourself 39 hours of travel time and 11 flight legs. In fact, you’d need an extra 10 days to replicate this unforgettable journey on regular airlines. Don’t spend your vacation time waiting in airport security lines and lounges. TCS World Travel uses private terminals where possible (and the most convenient airports when not), so you’ll have less commuting time on both sides of your flight. When flying, you’ll skip all possible layovers. And when you reach your destination, ground transfers will be waiting for you, with money already changed and a host of local staff guiding you from the tarmac to transfer vehicles. In other words, you won’t have to worry about any of the logistics that can slow travelers down.

Discover Luxurious, Hassle-Free Travel What about the onboard experience? With TCS World Travel, you’ll be flying in a custom Boeing 757, reconfigured with as few as 52 flatbed seats, so you can relax and stretch out. Then prepare to be pampered; all inflight meals and beverages are included. The highly trained staff will learn your likes and dislikes, so you can just order “the usual” beer, wine, or cocktail and kick back. Dietary requirements or food allergies? TCS World Travel can work around them. And don’t worry about filling out landing forms (all you’ll have to do is sign) or jostling for your bags—they simply get whisked away and appear in your hotel room, thanks to an experienced expedition staff who travels with you.

Take Advantage of Maximum Flexibility Sometimes, of course, the conditions in your destination change, due to weather or some unforeseen issue. We all know the result: Canceled flights, followed by engaging in the sport of competitive rebooking. But TCS World Travel can wait until the last minute to make flight decisions, reroute the trip if necessary, and take care of all pre- and post-flight logistics, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.

Bask in a Wealth of Experience When it comes to the world of private jet expeditions, TCS World Travel is a pioneer and a pro, having helped travelers realize their dreams for 25 years. Now, after nearly 300 luxury jet expeditions to more than 200 global destinations, they have perfected the world of seamless luxury. Thanks to TCS World Travel, scores of travelers have been able to see more iconic world highlights in less time than had they flown commercially. And they’ve done it in style, flying aboard TCS World Travel’s customized Boeing 757—reconfigured with 52 or 80 seats (or, for regional journeys, a smaller private jet with just 28 flatbed seats). Join TCS World Travel on one of their journeys and discover the magic of private jet travel for yourself.

Private Aviation Trends: The Future of Private Jet Travel

In the past few years, private aviation has been on the rise, with more people and businesses choosing to fly on private jets. There are many reasons for this, such as more freedom, better safety measures, and the convenience of private aviation. 

With the pandemic changing the way we travel, private jet companies and private jet charters are leading the way in shaping the future of private jet flying.

Private Jet Flying Takes Off: The Rise of Private Aviation Trends

Private aviation has long been associated with luxury, exclusivity, and a certain degree of inaccessibility. However, the industry has evolved significantly over the years, making it more accessible to a wider range of clients. 

In a recent analysis, Grand View Research predicted that the worldwide private jet market will increase at a CAGR of 4063% to reach $38.3r billion by 2029. This trend shows that more and more people are interested in private aviation and want to travel in easier and faster ways.

Growing awareness of its benefits

One of the primary drivers of this trend is the growing awareness of the benefits of private jet travel. Private aviation offers flexibility that is not possible with commercial flights. 

Clients can choose their own departure times, routes, and destinations with a private jet charter . This level of customization and flexibility is great for businesses that need to get to multiple places quickly.

Greater emphasis on safety

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, private jet companies and private jet charters have put more emphasis on safety measures. It offers a level of safety and security that is impossible with commercial flights. 

Private jets are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each flight, and passengers are not exposed to large crowds or confined spaces. It has been a major selling point for clients, particularly those who are more health-conscious.

The Future of Private Jet Flying: What to Expect

The future of private jet flying is bright, with several emerging trends set to shape the industry in the years to come. One of the most significant trends is the increasing use of technology. 

Innovations with emphasis on client experience

Private jet and charter companies invest heavily in technology to enhance the client experience. It includes everything from advanced avionics that make flying safer and more efficient to mobile apps that let customers book flights and manage their schedules.

Movement towards sustainability

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is another trend that could change how private jets are used. SAF is a biofuel made from renewable sources such as cooking oil, algae, and plant waste. 

Using SAF can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of private aviation, making it a more environmentally-friendly option. Many private jet companies are already experimenting with SAF, which will likely become more widely used in the coming years.

Enhanced safety features

Private aviation has responded to the coronavirus pandemic with enhanced safety features, including upgrades to air cabin filtration systems. 

Gulfstream’s G800 features plasma-ionizing technology to neutralize 99.9% of bacteria , allergens, and odors, while their Predictive Landing Performance System alerts pilots to possible runway excursions for safer landings. These features provide jet owners with confidence and peace of mind when flying.

Increasing demand for long-range aircraft

In private aviation, longer-range planes are becoming more desirable, leading to a trend toward enhancing fuel efficiency. 

Private jet models like the Dassault Falcon X, Bombardier Global 5500, and Embraer Praetor 600 are designed for ambitious global travel with sleek interiors, revolutionary seating, and a best-in-class range. These planes offer luxurious and comfortable travel, fuel efficiency, and top-notch aerodynamics, making long-range air travel more accessible.

More private-only airports

Private aviation has become increasingly popular, leading to crowded runways and taxiways at major international airports. To address this issue, lobbying efforts have been made to create more private-only airports. 

These airports, such as Teterboro in New York and John Wayne in Los Angeles, offer great infrastructure and are located close to downtown areas. More private airports just for private planes will improve efficiency and make room for the growing number of private planes.

Diversification

Private aviation operators and brokers can diversify their services by capitalizing on other segments that require private jets or turboprops. Air medical services, freight transport, and business continuity operations are potential areas for expansion. 

Some operators can switch their aircraft between a business and medical configuration, while brokers can partner with companies that already have certified medical teams. Expanding services can broaden the scope of private aviation providers and offer new business opportunities.

Private Jet Companies and Private Jet Charter: Leading the Way

Private jet companies and private jet charters lead the private aviation trend. These companies are leading the way in innovation, safety, and sustainability. They are always putting money into new technologies and safety measures to improve the customer experience and find ways to lower their carbon footprint.

They have also helped to make private aviation more popular. They have made it easier for more people, including small and medium-sized businesses, to fly on private jets. It has helped fuel the industry’s growth and make it a more viable option for a larger number of clients.

Final Thoughts on Private Jet Travel

In conclusion, private aviation is an industry that continues to evolve and innovate, driven by the growing demand for luxury and efficiency in air travel. From enhanced safety features to longer-range planes and lobbying for private-only airports, private aviation is adapting to meet the challenges of today’s world. 

As private aviation companies continue diversifying their services, the industry is expanding to offer new opportunities for private jet owners and charter customers. With cutting-edge technology, increased fuel efficiency, and a focus on luxury and comfort, the future of private jet flying looks bright. 

Whether you’re a seasoned jet owner or a first-time flyer, the latest trends in private aviation are poised to deliver an unparalleled travel experience that is both efficient and enjoyable.

The Perks of Private Jet Travel: Exploring the Benefits of Flying Private

Apr 30, 2023 | All News , Private Flying Benefits

The luxury of private jet travel has long been the preserve of the rich and famous. However, with the rise of private jet charter services, this exclusive mode of transportation is becoming more accessible to a wider range of people. In this blog post, we will explore the advantages of private jet travel, highlighting the numerous perks that have made it such a desirable way to fly.

Time Savings and Flexibility

One of the most significant advantages of private jet travel is the substantial time savings it offers. With the ability to depart from and arrive at smaller, less congested airports, passengers can avoid long queues at customs, security checkpoints, and boarding gates. Moreover, the flexibility of scheduling flights according to one’s own preferences allows for last-minute changes and precise planning. Overall, private jet travel can save hours or even days on a single trip, maximizing efficiency and productivity for busy individuals.

Unrivaled Comfort and Privacy

Private jet cabins are designed with luxurious materials and spacious layouts, ensuring that passengers can relax or work in an environment tailored to their needs. Plush leather seats, noise-canceling technology, and ample legroom are just a few of the amenities that contribute to an unparalleled in-flight experience. Furthermore, the privacy afforded by private jet travel allows passengers to conduct business meetings, make confidential calls, or simply unwind without the distractions and noise associated with commercial flights.

Customized In-Flight Services

Aboard a private jet, passengers can enjoy personalized service that caters to their specific needs and preferences. From gourmet meals and fine wines to in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi connectivity, private jet service providers go above and beyond to ensure that their clients have the most comfortable and enjoyable journey possible. This level of customization enables passengers to maintain their routines and preferences while traveling, reducing the impact of jet lag and ensuring a seamless transition from the ground to the sky.

Safety and Security

Safety is a top priority for private jet operators, who must adhere to strict regulatory guidelines and maintain impeccably maintained aircraft. In addition, many private jet companies employ experienced pilots with extensive training and thousands of flight hours under their belts. This commitment to safety and security instills confidence in passengers, knowing that their well-being is of the utmost importance.

Networking Opportunities

For business travelers, private jet travel offers an unparalleled opportunity to network with like-minded individuals. Whether by chance or through organized events, private jet passengers often find themselves sharing the cabin with other high-profile professionals and entrepreneurs. These connections can lead to fruitful business relationships, partnerships, and collaborations, further emphasizing the benefits of private jet travel for those looking to expand their professional networks.

Environmental Considerations

While private jet travel is often criticized for its environmental impact, it is worth noting that many companies in the industry have made significant strides toward sustainability. From investing in fuel-efficient aircraft and carbon offset programs to partnering with environmentally conscious organizations, private jet operators are actively working to minimize their ecological footprint. This enables passengers to travel responsibly while enjoying the many advantages of private jet travel.

In conclusion, the benefits of private jet travel are numerous and varied, ranging from time savings and flexibility to unparalleled comfort and privacy. As private jet charter services continue to make this mode of transportation more accessible, an increasing number of people will be able to experience these advantages firsthand. Ultimately, private jet travel offers a level of luxury, convenience, and efficiency that is unmatched by commercial aviation, making it an attractive option for those seeking the ultimate in air travel.

Seven benefits of traveling on a private jet

Consider these benefits of private jet flights when planning for your next trip.

What comes to your mind when you think about private jet travel? Luxury? Extravagance? Expensive?

While one can’t argue that those three words aren’t fit to describe the experience of traveling on a chartered jet, there’s more to flying private than meets the eye.

More time for important things If there's one thing that most of us can't seem to have enough of, it's time. Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra hour to finish up work at the office or even just a few more minutes to spend with family? Well, when you opt to fly private, you can do just that!

Unlike commercial flight, chartering a private jet allows you to set you to fly at your own schedule, at a time that suits you best. There are also hundreds of dedicated private jet terminals around the country to choose from to avoid the lengthy check-in process and security line at public airports. And the best part is, you don't have to get there an hour early. Arriving at the tarmac 15 minutes before your flight is more than enough. No need to worry about your plane leaving without you!

Arrive at your destination faster Taking a private jet means skipping customs and immigration queues altogether. As soon as the plane lands, you can just disembark from the plane and climb into your ride.

But aside from that, flying private tends to be much faster than flying commercial because private aviation is not tied to specific routes and schedules. Operators can plan their routes, while the jets often fly at a higher altitude than commercial airlines to avoid air traffic. All these factors, plus access to smaller airports closer to city centers, speeds up and simplifies the entire boarding-flying-disembarkation process.

Travel in optimum comfort and style To date, over 7000 private jets are operating all over the world, and they come in different sizes, shapes, and models. Whatever type of private jet you end up choosing, though, expect to be surrounded by the elegantly-designed interior.

Private jets have spacious cabins, so there’s always enough room to stretch your legs. The plush and comfy seats can be reclined and turned into beds, so you can relax and revitalize as you travel to your destination in the height comfort, style, and luxury.

Enjoy privacy and confidentiality By the name itself, you can already tell private aviation takes privacy and confidentiality seriously, which is why it's preferred by most celebrities and high-profile personalities. Private jets usually depart from, and land in FBOs or have their own dedicated terminals and luxury lounges in public airports so that guests can avoid queues, crowds, and in several instances, the paparazzi.

The “exclusive” nature of private planes encourages and allows passengers to discuss sensitive topics without having to worry about being overheard. Flying private makes your travel far less visible, which can be priceless when preserving the confidentiality around deals and negotiations.

Increase efficiency and productivity Many of those who take chartered flights attest to how flying private helps increase work productivity, thanks to the absence of unwanted disturbances and airport layovers. From the boarding process until disembarkation, private jets recreate ideal conditions for focus and concentration, almost similar to that of a home office. 

The spacious cabin has plenty of legroom and is equipped with an in-flight Wi-Fi connection, so you can finish proposals, make conference calls, or conduct a meeting with colleagues while in transit. Moreover, passengers flying for business can go on a multi-trip journey and visit multiple customers at different locations on the same day.

For businesses, private planes help project an image of a well-run, efficient, and successful organization that values excellence.

Take your pets with you Do you find it difficult to leave your pets behind when you're traveling for long periods? Do you want to take your fur babies with you, but hate having to fly them in cargo? Save yourself from the stress and the worry. Take a private jet!

When you choose to charter a jet, your pets also get to travel in the cabin and experience the comforts and luxuries of private aviation with you.

Excellent service, guaranteed From the time you book your flight to the moment you reach your destination, the private jet service staff and highly-skilled flight crew are always ready to assist you with almost anything. You can even choose the make and model of the jet and customize your journey according to your schedule and travel needs.

A last-minute change in travel plans? Hosting a party-in-the-skies? In-flight catering? The company can arrange everything according to your needs and specifications.

The novelty of traveling on a chartered jet is an experience in and of itself. While the cost of private aviation often runs high, for people who value time and comfort and appreciate the finer things in life, the benefits of flying private often outweighs its price tag.

The Benefits of Private Jet Travel

Private jet travel has become a popular way to fly for businesses and individual travelers alike because it offers a much higher level of service, comfort, and convenience than flying commercial, even when opting for business class and first class. Private jet travel is well-known for its luxury, attentive service, and skilled pilots, but there are many more benefits people often don’t realize. Here are some of the benefits you can expect from private jet travel:

Private Jet Travel Offers High-Value Benefits for Business

Companies that invest heavily in executive travel often find that investing in private jet travel pays dividends for their business. While the upfront costs include purchase of a portion of an aircraft, fractional ownership also offers cost and time savings.

Taking a private flight means company leadership and their teams do not need to arrive at the airport hours in advance to check in and go through security, but instead arrive minutes before takeoff. Bags are loaded directly on the aircraft.

Private jet travel also allows companies to make the most of business travel time by including more than one city on the trip. Rather than taking two commercial flights to nearby cities, these cities can be reached quickly and easily in one day on a private jet. Not only does this save time away from the office, but it also reduces travel costs spent on additional hotel stays and car rentals. The PlaneSense PC-24 jet has a huge cargo door and internal baggage that can be accessed from inside the cabin, so important papers and luggage are accessible during flight.

Business jets the size of the Pilatus PC-24 in the PlaneSense® fleet are able to fly to more airports, getting executives closer to clients and important meetings faster than with traditional air travel. The time saved when your company flies on a private jet can be put to better use preparing for important meetings, tending to other projects, or returning home in time to spend evenings with family.

Flexible Schedule

  Flying commercial means being on someone else’s schedule. With private jet travel, you set the schedule. Want to be in Atlanta in time for a morning business meeting but don’t want to fly down the night before? The private flight operations team can ensure you land in Atlanta on time.

This can be especially helpful for businesses where last-minute travel plans are a regular occurrence. Booking business class flights within a week or two of departure is extremely expensive and may require executives and team members to drastically shift schedules to make flights work. Private jet travel gives companies the flexibility to get valuable face-to-face time with clients and associates with less time invested in the logistics of being at the meeting.

A flexible schedule is also a major benefit for leisure travelers. Everyone wants to make the most of their vacation time. Instead of catching a commercial flight Friday night only to arrive in the wee hours of the morning, taking a private jet when you want to allows you to land at your vacation destination in time for a late dinner and a night on the town.

Stay Productive

Whether you’re trying to finish up a few tasks on your way to an island getaway, or you have a business meeting to prepare for, staying productive while in transit provides real value. When you fly commercial, staying productive is nearly impossible. Working in busy waiting areas or on a crowded plane is noisy and distracting. Phone conversations or teleconferencing is out of the question and keeping devices charged is always a concern.

Private jet travel provides the perfect atmosphere for staying productive in transit. It is quiet and comfortable with plenty of room to work on a laptop, review documents, and strategize with the team. Even if you’re traveling for leisure, having time to wrap up last-minute tasks on the way to your destination, or to reengage on your own terms on the flight home, private flights help you make the most of that time.

A Higher Level of Comfort and Privacy

Traveling on a private jet provides complete privacy from take-off to touchdown. You have your own space to stretch out, read a book, play your favorite music, or enjoy a glass of champagne with your loved one. As you approach your destination, you have space to change and freshen up.

Imagine if the only passengers on board your next flight were those you invited. On a private flight, you can hold confidential meetings, work without interruptions, and spend time with your friends and family.

Other Benefits of Private Jet Travel

There are many other benefits that come with traveling on a private jet that depend upon the company you use and the level of service you secure. Fractional ownership programs , like PlaneSense, offer a number of benefits, including booking a flight with only hours’ notice.

When planning to travel by air, there is an ever-growing diversity of choice for flight services. However, commercial airlines are focused on increasing their profits by packing more passengers into each aircraft resulting in deteriorating passenger experiences. Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, choosing to charter a private jet instead of flying first class or business class on a commercial plane offers significant advantages.

FLYING PRIVATE – TRAVEL ON YOUR OWN TIME

Convenience and time savings are benefits that are often considered priceless in our modern, busy world, and flying private offers both in spades. Whether you are running late or early simply call ahead and notify the crew. When flying on a private aircraft, your flight leaves when you are ready. Easily avoid the hassles of busy airports with a private charter and set your own schedule instead of being required to work around the schedule of a commercial airliner. As the number of budget commercial carriers increases, if your destination is not a hub then the choices are limited and restrictive. The overall travel time with a private jet service is significantly lower than commercial airline travel time . You will not need to navigate through large airport complexes or wait in long lines – instead, enjoy planeside valet parking and step aboard as soon as you arrive.

Flying privately makes the most of your valuable time by giving you the privacy and convenience to hold business meetings, work efficiently, or relax before your destination. Private jet charter operators are able to fly into smaller airports that will be closer to your destination. With over 5,000 smaller airports available to you when you fly on private aircraft (approximately 10 times as many airports than are available by commercial airline service), the time saved will quickly add up. Flexibility increases with private charter services, as well, because itinerary changes can be made last minute or even mid-flight in some cases, should an urgent need arise. One-way flights further boost the time savings by offering quick options for short-notice meetings or spontaneous getaways.

CLASS & COMFORT

Feeling comfortable when traveling is of high priority and it is also what frequently motivates the decision to fly first class or business class. However, private jet services are substantially more customizable to perfectly suit an individual’s comfort and preferences. For instance, by choosing the type, size, and onboard amenities of your jet, you are able to tailor your experience to the exact needs you and your passengers have. When you arrive at one of the private fixed-base operators, you will find private lounges offering complimentary refreshments and toiletries where you can rest and freshen up. The Private Suite at LAX is a luxurious and popular example! The seating arrangement within most private jets more closely resembles a high-end living room, and you are free to move around from one seat to another throughout your flight. You can count on superior service from start to finish, with crew focusing exclusively on the needs of you and your guests.

PERSONALIZED JUST FOR YOU

Private jet charter travel offers a bespoke travel experience, with the possibilities of requesting such personalized amenities like catering, entertainment media, reading publications, even specific designer fragrances. If you are celebrating a special occasion, you can coordinate with the operator ahead of time to have the plane decorated according to your theme. Fill the plane with balloons or other décor to start your vacation off in the most memorable way. Concierge companies that work directly with private charter flights are available to manage every detail of your in-flight celebration for you. Receive made-to-order catering or special food choices delivered to you ahead of time to enjoy while on your flight, and relish in the privacy of traveling only with whom you are comfortable. On a private flight, you will have more control over the overall experience of “getting there”, occasionally even at a rate per person comparable to flying first class commercially.

A NEW LEVEL OF PRIVACY

Peace of mind is another invaluable perk of flying private. On your customized chartered jet trip, you can feel free to continue confidential business meetings, hold personal conversations, and entirely stay out of the public eye while you travel. Utilizing the in-flight Wi-Fi, you are able to host video conferences from inside the plane with people back at the office or even hold a presentation with laptop slides or whiteboards and presentation decks. There are no limits to productivity when you fly privately, as there would be on a commercial flight. The benefit for companies to be able to continue their work and enhance their productivity while en route to the destination will far outweigh the potential additional cost. There will not be any lost luggage or lengthy security check procedures and lines to endure, drastically reducing both wasted time and stress. A private jet charter trip also has few liquid restrictions or limitations and you are welcome to travel on your terms.

CHOOSE LUXURY

The pace of modern life requires airplane travel, sometimes involving multiple flights in a single day, and so it is important to choose wisely. We want our lives to be enhanced by our experiences and the way we travel matters. Meeting business deadlines, spending more time at home with loved ones, and enjoying life with less overall stress are all benefits of choosing to fly privately instead of commercial. With considerable benefits, private jet charter services can help you truly enjoy your time spent in the air.

7 Pros And Cons Of Owning A Private Jet

Many dream of owning a private jet, however, it is crucial to explore the pros and cons of owning a private jet before taking the plunge.

Private jets have a history that extends back to the 1930s. Due to technological breakthroughs and rising demand from both businesses and people for private planes, the sector grew during the 1960s and 1970s.

Private jet ownership offers flexibility and convenience that are beyond comparison. Owners don’t have to deal with rigid commercial flight schedules and they get to decide where and when to fly.

There are several upsides to owning a jet, but navigating private jet ownership demands clear thinking. As we explore the various pros and cons of owning a private jet, remember the skies may be vast, but understanding is crucial.

• Benefits of Private Jet Ownership
• 7 Pros of Jet Ownership
• 7 Cons of Jet Ownership

Benefits Of Private Jets Ownership

Flexibility.

Owning a private jet has always been associated with luxury and extravagance, but beyond the flashy image it projects, owning a private jet offers more than just a status boost.

With a private jet at your disposal, the rigid schedules of commercial flights become a thing of the past as they allow you freedom of choice. You get to dictate departure time, your destination, and pace of travel.

Customization

A private jet allows you to customize your room to reflect your personal preferences and style, creating a unique sky home. With control over every aspect, you can create a memorable mission that suits your requirements and tastes.

Private jets take privacy to a whole new level, something you simply can’t achieve on commercial flights. For those who value their personal space, a private jet becomes a haven where privacy reigns supreme.

It’s a space where you can have intimate conversations, enjoy quality moments with your companions, and relish the joy of being away from prying eyes and unwanted attention. It’s like having a secret hideaway in the sky where you can truly be yourself.

Status Boost

Owning a private jet isn’t merely about possession; it can be a declaration of success. The presence of a private jet isn’t just visually striking; it exudes accomplishment and elevates the status of the owner.

Private jets offer a world of advantages for business, special missions , and personal travel. For business people they’re a game-changer, enabling efficient movement between meetings and conferences.

This translates to improved productivity and reduced downtime. Moreover, private jets can be used for both personal and family vacations.

Private jet ownership offers various advantages that transcend luxury or social status. It offers comfort, exclusivity, and streamlined time usage which makes it an enticing alternative to the troubles of commercial flight.

The Pros Of Owning A Private Jet

1.   convenience.

Imagine never having to rush through crowded airports or worry about missing flights. With a private jet, you get to enjoy the luxury of flying on your schedule, making travel as easy as it gets.

You only need to arrive 15 minutes before your flight departs and you can choose the exact airports that you want to depart and arrive from.

2.   Time-Saving

A lot of people experience the hassle of long security lines, flight delays, and layovers. If you own a private jet, you can bypass these time-consuming activities and get to your destination faster, thereby maximizing your time efficiency.

3.   Productivity

Turning travel time into work time is something that can be described as game-changing. Private jets offer an environment that makes productivity convenient. The conducive environment enables you to catch up on emails, have meetings, or even brainstorm ideas during flights.

4.   Customization

Owning a private jet allows you to make the jet an extension of your style. With the freedom to design the interior according to your preferences,  you get access to additional comfort and features that cater to your needs.

5.   Privacy

In a private jet, you have the freedom to do whatever you want. It’s your personal space where you can relax, engage in discussions, or simply enjoy some solitude.

6.   Flexibility

With a private jet, remote destinations that are often inaccessible to commercial flights become options. Private jets are also able to land at smaller airports, allowing you to get closer to your final destination with ease.

7.   Availability

Having your own aircraft ensures that you know its exact whereabouts and current availability. There are no peak times. No waiting for the owner’s permission. With very few exceptions you can ensure that you will always be able to fly.

This is especially important given that life is unpredictable, and having a private jet can give you some peace of mind as it could be your way out of certain emergencies. Whether it’s for medical reasons or urgent travel, you can be well-relaxed and respond swiftly .

Cons Of Owning A Private Jet

1.   high costs.

A major con of owning a private jet is the high costs that come with it. While owning a private jet is undoubtedly luxurious, it comes with a hefty price tag. From the initial purchase to operational expenses and maintenance , it is a sizeable financial commitment.

2.   Depreciation

Just like cars and other vehicles, private jets depreciate over time. The value of your investment can decrease, and this could potentially lead to financial losses if you decide to sell.

3.   Regulations

The aviation industry has stringent safety regulations and standards. Complying with these rules requires careful attention and investment in proper training and maintenance. These rules, established by aviation authorities, cover a wide range of aspects including aircraft design, operational procedures, crew training, and maintenance protocols.

4.   Pilot and Crew

Hiring and retaining skilled pilots and crew members can prove to be a challenging task. Ensuring their competence and professionalism is crucial for a safe and enjoyable flying experience.

This point, along with the regulations, is why the majority of owners will make use of private jet management companies .

5.   Limited Routes

This is another con of owning a private jet. Private aircraft provide more flexibility, although there are still some restrictions.

Not every airport has the necessary facilities to handle private planes, which could have an impact on the variety of travel options. Private jet exclusivity offers the benefit of avoiding crowded terminals and adhering to individualized travel arrangements, but accessibility is something to take into account.

For example, a private jet is unable to land at Heathrow Airport, one of the most central airports in London. Instead, a private jet would need to land at RAF Northolt.

6.   Unused Time

Unlike private jet charters, jet cards, or fractional ownership, a wholly owned private jet isn’t in use all the time. The downtime can result in inefficiencies and maintenance costs without corresponding benefits. Therefore, there is a crucial threshold when an aircraft is flown enough that it makes financial sense.

7.   Ownership Responsibilities

Beyond the excitement of owning a private jet, there’s a world of ownership responsibilities that go beyond the flight deck. These include tasks like coordinating flight schedules, overseeing maintenance, and ensuring compliance with aviation regulations.

Moreover, legal aspects require attention, such as adhering to international aviation laws, maintaining proper documentation, and handling liability matters. While private jet ownership offers a lot of freedom, it also involves a lot of operational details that demand commitment and attention to detail beyond the thrill of flying.

Again, this is why many owners will use a private jet management firm to take care of these responsibilities.

How much does it cost to buy a private jet?

The cost of purchasing a private jet varies widely based on factors like the aircraft’s size, age, and features.

Some pre-owned private jets can cost as low as $650,000. However, more modern private jets will cost at least $2 million on the pre-owned market.

A brand-new private jet will be costing you at least $3 million.

Private jets are then priced from this point to well over $100 million for a new VIP airliner.

What is the typical lifespan of a private jet?

The lifespan of a private jet varies based on usage, maintenance, and model. On average, well-maintained jets can operate for 25 to 30 years.

So, you don’t have to worry about longevity, with regular maintenance and upgrades, you can extend your aircraft’s lifespan.

Are there alternatives to owning a private jet that offers similar benefits?

Yes, there are alternatives like chartering jets or fractional ownership that provide benefits of private travel without full ownership costs.

Chartering offers flexibility for occasional use, while fractional ownership lets you share costs with others.

There are membership programs that also offer access to private jets on-demand, catering to different travel needs.

How Do I Choose The Right Private Jet?

You choose the right private jet for you in various ways, which include, knowing who you are, going for ones that match your financial capacity, learning about the right private jet companies , learning about private jets and special missions private jets , learning about the pros and cons of various private jets, understanding lease systems , and others.

The decision to own a private jet is a complex one with both appealing benefits and significant financial costs. The luxury of unmatched convenience, time management, and personalization options is enough to convince anyone to invest in getting a private jet.

However, the operational costs as well as the price of acquiring one cannot be overlooked.

Ultimately, the decision to acquire a private jet depends on individual choices and priorities. As the aviation industry evolves and acclimates to sustainability, potential owners must take into consideration both the advantages and disadvantages of owning a private jet to determine if it aligns with their responsibilities in the long run.

Five Benefits Of Flying Private In 2020

Private jet travel provides a safer way to fly by reducing the passengers’ exposure to health and security risks. Passengers flying via a commercial airline go through 700 touchpoints on every flight, whereas private jet travelers only encounter 20 touchpoints, according to analysis by GlobeAir AG, a leading European very light jet (VLJ) operator.

This means the potential risk for contagion is 30 times lower in private aviation than commercial travel. In addition, private jet travelers enjoy the privilege of using private terminals where they can relax before their flight, without the hustle and bustle of commercial airline terminals.

With the limited number of passengers at private terminals, both personnel and travelers interact with only a few people, further minimizing their exposure to health risks.

Private charter has become more affordable in the recent years, with private flight costs going down by 30% to 50%, bringing them closer than ever to the rates of first class and business class tickets on commercial carriers.

Frequent flyers who accumulate at least 150 flight hours a year and those who travel in large groups, can enjoy cost savings over time with private travel than regularly flying in premium cabins.

According to a market study by Avinode, a Swedish business-to-business technology company focusing on business aviation, chartering a super midsize private jet to fly from New York to Miami would previously amount to $20,000. Today, one can book it for around $10,000. Since a super midsize jet can accommodate up to 10 passengers, the total charter price translates to roughly $1,000 to $1,200 per passenger.

Additionally, private jet charter companies, fractional ownership programs, as well as jet card memberships allow travelers to fly privately on-demand, which removes the cost of full aircraft ownership and makes private air travel more affordable.

For corporate executives and entrepreneurs whose time is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, having their own private jets to fly as they wish is more practical than losing hours and money waiting at busy airports – which highlights the next biggest advantage of flying private: time.

Commercial fliers spend around 90 minutes at airports for domestic flights and up to three hours for international flights – and that is just for a one-way trip.

Private jet travel removes all that waiting time so passengers can opt to arrive at the terminal 15 minutes before departure and complete travel procedures like immigration, customs and boarding in mere minutes.

For business moguls and executives, flying by a private jet allows maximizing their hours onboard by keeping productive and staying on top of their businesses – and with people whose time is as valuable as money, this means generating profits even while flying.

Private travel also gives you the freedom and flexibility to fly according to your own schedule, which is ideal for travelers who are always on the go or those who need to fly within short notice. Private aircraft can be arranged in a few hours and passengers can reschedule their flight according to their specific needs. During the time when travel policies constantly change, the agility of private travel is more beneficial than ever, especially with critical medical and repatriation flights.

4. Privacy and Security

Private travel offers unmatched privacy, which makes it the preferred way of travel for many athletes, celebrities, government figures and other prominent personalities. From the private terminal to the aircraft, passengers can rest assured that their privacy is respected and protected, and they can travel away from curious eyes.

For ultra-high-net-worth individuals and businesspeople who keep working while traveling, private jets offer them the space and peace of mind that they can pore over sensitive information and documents in a secure environment, without the risk of people eavesdropping and corporate espionage.

5. Comfort and Amenities

Private jets feature outstanding amenities that are often far more luxurious than commercial airlines’ first class suites. From spacious cabin space and plush leather seats, to a master bedroom and en-suite shower, private jets offer the finest in air travel for an exceptionally comfortable and relaxing flight.

Since passengers have the entire cabin to themselves, they can freely bring their pets with them, as well as all their travel necessities, including liquids, and maximize the practically unlimited luggage capacity.

Topping off the superb experience is a premium selection of gourmet catering complemented by the latest in-flight entertainment systems, attention and personalized service from cabin crew and private terminal staff.

5 Benefits of Private Jet Travel

Our lives should be enhanced by our experiences, and the way we travel matters. Spending more quality time with loved ones, closing that all-important deal at a last minute meeting, and enjoying life with as little stress as possible are among the many reasons more people are turning to private jet travel.

Flying commercially for many is becoming less appealing, with overstretched services, crowded terminals and restrictive rules making for an unpleasant travel experience. Flying by private jet offers comfort, discretion, flexibility and convenience that you simply won’t find anywhere else. 

Private jet travel grants you more privacy and luxury than major airports and commercial airlines. With a wealth of benefits, a private jet charter allows you to indulge and truly enjoy your time spent in the air. 

While you may be thinking of chartering for the first time to escape crowds or avoid the uncertainty synonymous with commercial flights, there are a host of other benefits to private jet travel.

Save precious time

Commercial travel inevitably reduces productivity, caused by unnecessary layovers, tedious security procedures, and unsatisfactory flying conditions. While commercial flights are perceived to be less expensive, they will cost you precious time, which for many is much more valuable than money. 

The goal when travelling should not just be to reach your destination, but to maximise the value of every single minute. Forget long wait times and congested airports. When travelling by private jet, simply arrive at a private terminal 15 minutes before your departure time for a seamless and enjoyable flying experience.

Amongst time savings, travelling by private jet has another practical advantage. Private jets are able to access smaller airports that are inaccessible to commercial airlines, and take direct routes to your desired destination. Onboard a private aircraft, passengers are able to fly more efficiently and land closer to where they need to be.  

All the disadvantages of flying simply don’t exist with private charters.

Unrivalled convenience and flexibility

The real luxury when choosing to fly private is the ability to schedule flights according to your needs and schedule. 

Private jet travel allows you to be the master of your own time. Able to accommodate last-minute changes to the route or passenger list, your aircraft will even wait if you’re stuck in traffic and running a few minutes late. With no time-consuming layovers or connecting flights, flying private guarantees you the luxury to travel wherever, and whenever, best suits you. 

If you need to visit several locations within a short time-frame, such as for business meetings or when shooting film and TV productions , multi-destinations trips can be arranged with private jet and helicopter charters . Choosing to fly private means the schedule is tailored to work around you, rather than you working around the schedule of a commercial airline. 

Stress-free travel

While first class passengers may enjoy access to exclusive lounges and faster check-in services, they still cannot avoid busy terminals, security queues and lengthy walks to departure gates. They are not only at the mercy of the airline, but of other passengers as they wait for them to embark before take-off.

By contrast, private jet passengers are greeted at FBOs, where all check-in requirements and luggage are taken care of. Seamless and unobtrusive security checks will be made, and guests will be in the air minutes following their arrival. Holidays and business trips can start as they mean to go on, streamlined and relaxed as possible. 

An added benefit of flying private, the probability of your luggage being lost is non-existent. You are in direct contact with your aircraft crew and can collect your luggage the minute you exit the plane. 

Travelling by private jet also means there are no risks of children wandering off, accidentally losing personal belongings, or having your flight cancelled while you sit in the departure lounge. 

Superior onboard experience

Flying privately makes the most of your valuable time, granting you the privacy, convenience and freedom to choose who you share the aircraft with. Passengers are able to hold confidential meetings without prying eyes, or indulge in personal conversations with the entire plane to themselves. Many private aircraft interiors boast first-class cabin designs, with flexible configurations and state of the art technology to remain connected throughout the flight. 

Extending beyond family, friends and colleagues, pets are also able to join you onboard and experience the luxury and comfort of private jet travel. Pets are not restricted to the cargo hold, and can join passengers in the cabin with every experience tailored to their needs.

Most private jets also have greater luggage capacity for larger items, and are generally less strict on weight and size than commercial airlines. Passengers can travel with their own sport equipment , such as golf clubs and skis for example, without paying additional baggage fees. This only leads to a better experience at your destination as you tee off with your handcrafted clubs, rather than hiring from the golf club. 

Attentive service

The exclusivity of private jet travel begins the moment you enquire about a charter with jetlogic. We know how important it is to many of our clients that they speak to a real person, which is why a dedicated Flight Manager will communicate with you throughout your charter experience.

As companies continue to explore ways to optimize their operations, the benefits of business jet travel have become increasingly evident. In this article, we delve into the distinct advantages that business aviation offers, highlighting how it unlocks unparalleled efficiency for corporate travelers.

1. Time Optimization:

Private jet travel eliminates the need for extensive check-in processes and long security lines, allowing you to arrive at the airport just minutes before departure. With no layovers or connecting flights, valuable hours that would be lost in conventional travel are saved, enabling you to focus on business priorities rather than airport logistics.

2. Flexibility and Customization:

One of the standout advantages of private jet travel is the ability to create a personalized itinerary. Avcon Jet provides the flexibility to choose departure times, VIP catering, in-flight service, and even the type of aircraft, tailoring travel plans to fit the specific needs of your business agenda.

In a business jet environment, you can transform travel time into productive work hours. With onboard amenities such as Wi-Fi and comfortable workspaces, your jet can become your mobile office, allowing you and your team to strategize, plan, and execute projects while in transit. This boost in productivity provides a tangible competitive edge for businesses.

4. Enhanced Security and Confidentiality:

Sensitive business discussions can be conducted in a secure and confidential environment when flying privately. The controlled access to the aircraft and absence of public spaces ensure that you can discuss proprietary information without the risk of eavesdropping. Moreover, you benefit from exclusive access to VIP terminals, ensuring discreet and confidential transitions throughout your journey.

5. Reaching Unimpossible Destinations:

Unlike conventional air travel, business jet travel opens the door to a whole world of unique destinations.

The Benefits of Using Private Aviation for Business

Air travel is an essential part of life for many business owners and executives. Traveling by plane is one of the fastest ways to get you from point A to point B so you can make new business connections and close profitable deals. You can expand your business in new and exciting ways thanks to the ability to fly across the country in a matter of hours.

But when it comes to commercial flying, the experience of traveling for business can be less than ideal. Busy airports, long waits in security and overcrowded planes are just a few of the negatives aspects of flying commercial. If you're considering alternatives to commercial flying for your company, you should take a closer look at why businesses fly private jets to achieve greater success.

7 Benefits of Private Jet Travel for Businesses

Business owners choose to fly private instead of commercial for many reasons. Here are seven benefits of using private aviation for business.

1. Save Time

In the business world, time is money. You understand the truth of that statement as a leader in your business. When you need to close a deal or meet with someone regarding an urgent business matter, you may be unable to spare that extra day — or even that extra hour.

This is where private jet travel comes into play. Flying private saves you time in the following ways:

• Skip the long lines at airports.
• Avoid sluggish security checks.
• Carry on your luggage with you to avoid waiting at baggage claim.
• Travel to multiple destinations in a single day.

2. Save Money

In addition to saving time, flying private also saves you money. This may come as a surprise since people often associate flying in a private jet with high expenses. When you fly private, you can enjoy many of the luxuries associated with the experience, but you'll also save money in the following ways:

• Save money on hotels:  Flying private lets you easily travel from one meeting to the next in a single day. This technique can save you hundreds of dollars in hotel rooms and meals since you'll be avoiding overnight expenses associated with commercial flight times.
• Save money on meals:  Turning a multi-day trip into a single-day trip can save you a significant amount of money on food. Feeding yourself can be expensive when traveling, but feeding a team of hungry individuals can drain your business fund account. Keep more money in your account by shortening your trip and reducing the number of meals you're responsible for.

3. Increase Your Productivity on the Ground and in the Air

Productivity is key when you're running a business. Thankfully, flying private allows you to boost your productivity both on the ground and in the air.

You already know that time is money. When you schedule a private flight, you get to skip all the protocol that goes along with commercial flights. This means you'll have more valuable hours of productivity both before your departure and after your landing. Plus, boarding and exiting the plane is a breeze, giving you more time to focus on your tasks and less on the flight process itself.

Flying private also helps to boost your productivity while you're in the air. With the availability of internet access and other communications features, you can participate in important communications efforts. This is especially important if you're dealing with an ever-changing business situation. While aboard, you'll enjoy the comfort and peace to do your work and stay productive while you await landing at your destination.

4. Stay Flexible

Running a successful business also demands a certain degree of flexibility from you and your team. It can be impossible to know in advance when a prime opportunity will present itself to you. In today's fast-paced business environment, you need to be ready to move quickly — sometimes at a moment's notice.

You can rely on private jet travel to get you where you need to go when you need to be there. The commercial airline schedule can cause you to experience long wait times and layovers that may be unacceptable when you have to meet with someone as soon as possible. When you fly private, you can make it to that urgent meeting without getting held up.

5. Enjoy a More Predictable Schedule

Staying flexible is important to running a business, but every business owner knows that having a reliable schedule is crucial for success. When traveling with one of the commercial airliners, you could be  prone to long delays , layovers and even worse — outright cancelations. When these occur, you run the risk of being late to your meeting and even missing out on a prime business opportunity.

Private aviation lets you enjoy a more predictable, set schedule. When you hire a private jet to take you to your next meeting, it's going to be there at a time that works for you. No more cancellations. No more delays or unexpected layovers. When you fly private, your flight fits into your schedule instead of the other way around.

6. Experience Greater On-Board Security and Privacy

We already covered how flying private can boost your productivity. Along those same lines, flying private gives you increased security and privacy while aboard. This fact can be essential when you need to iron out meeting details with your team or review sensitive information before landing.

Flying private means you get to avoid nosy passengers who could even be people from rival businesses. You can spread out and enjoy a little extra room as you discuss sensitive topics without the need for whispers or cryptic wording. Instead, you get to feel comfortable the entire time you're on your flight, whatever the topic of conversation.

7. Reach Communities Without a Commercial Airport

Essential business meetings can happen anywhere — even in the remotest places in the country. Some cities and towns may lack a commercial airport nearby. People flying commercial to reach these places may need to rent cars and drive several hours simply to get to their meeting on time.

When you fly private, you have more available airports at your disposal. Because of their smaller size, private jets can land in one of the hundreds of small town airports nationwide where large commercial jets may be unable to land. You can land closer to your final destination and avoid extra travel time.

8 Things To Not Do On Your First Private Jet Trip

E mbarking on your first private jet trip is an exciting and luxurious experience. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, flying on a private jet offers unparalleled comfort, convenience, and personalized service. To ensure that your journey is smooth and enjoyable, it's essential to be mindful of certain etiquette and considerations specific to private jet travel . Here's what you should avoid doing:

Overpacking

While private jets offer more generous luggage allowances compared to commercial airlines, it's still crucial to pack thoughtfully. Avoid overpacking unnecessary items, as space onboard is valuable. Stick to essentials and inquire with the charter company about any specific luggage restrictions to ensure a hassle-free check-in process.

Arriving late

One of the major perks of private jet travel is the flexibility it offers regarding departure times. However, arriving late can still disrupt the travel schedule and inconvenience crew and other passengers. Aim to arrive at the airport with ample time to complete necessary formalities, allowing for a smooth departure.

Dressing inappropriately

When traveling on a private jet, it's essential to dress appropriately with safety in mind . While the luxurious environment may invite relaxed attire, you might want to avoid overly casual or restrictive clothing that could pose safety risks, especially in the event of an emergency evacuation. Opt for comfortable yet sensible clothing, avoiding items like loose scarves, long flowing sleeves, or high heels, which may impede movement during an evacuation.

Overindulging in alcohol

Private jet travel often includes complimentary beverages. Even though passengers are allowed to sit back and enjoy multiple rounds of alcohol, it's important to drink responsibly . Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to discomfort during the flight and may affect your overall travel experience. Be mindful of your limits and enjoy in moderation.

Ignoring safety instructions

While private travel offers a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere, safety remains a top priority. Pay attention to safety briefings provided by the crew and familiarize yourself with the location of emergency exits and safety equipment. Following safety protocols ensures a secure and stress-free journey.

Ignoring security procedures

Unlike the usual security processes that passengers are familiar with at mainstream airports, most private jet terminals offer more streamlined processes. Despite the different experience, remember to comply with all security procedures for a smooth and efficient check-in: present valid identification, follow baggage screening rules, and cooperate with security personnel.

Discussing sensitive topics

Remember that private jet travel often includes sharing space with crew and other passengers. Avoid discussing sensitive or confidential matters that may make others uncomfortable. Maintain a respectful and considerate atmosphere during the flight.

Leaving a mess

Respect the private jet's luxurious interior by keeping it clean and tidy . Avoid leaving trash or personal items scattered around the cabin. Taking care of the aircraft ensures a pleasant environment for all passengers and shows appreciation for the exceptional service provided - and helps you avoid hefty cleaning charges.
