WHAT IS A PRIVATE JET CHARTER?
If you have ever shown up to the airport hours ahead of your flight only to be greeted by an overwhelming security line or had a seat next to a crying toddler while on a work deadline cross-country flight, you are familiar with the trials and realities of commercial airline travel. While the increasingly comfortable options available via first-class and business-class tickets are nice and offer a modicum of enhanced space, the reality is you are still contending with an array of factors completely out of your control.
However, the efficiency of flying makes it an attractive option for both business and personal trips. Whether you are taking a holiday overseas or visiting client sites with colleagues, navigating multiple flight options, airlines and other details can cause a real headache and entice you to explore alternative solutions. If you are looking for more certainty, efficiency and versatility in your air travel, it may be time to experience the world of private aviation.
ELEVATING YOUR PRIVATE TRAVEL
Private aviation options are becoming increasingly popular, with multiple access points like whole aircraft ownership, fractional ownership, jet lease, jet cards and private charters. Depending on your travel habits and needs, each program has its own set of unique advantages, limitations or even restrictions.
When it comes to one-off trips or sporadic needs, a private jet charter is undeniably an excellent way to enjoy the benefits of private aviation without a major upfront investment or long-term commitment. At FXAIR, we know how the right jet charter can take an average trip and turn it into the experience of a lifetime, or allow you to do more business travel in two days than would take a week on a commercial airline.
Let’s explore what a private jet charter is and how it provides a comfortable platform to trial private travel without the complexities and nuances of asset leasing or outright ownership.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON A PRIVATE JET CHARTER
Typically, when you charter a private jet, you are granted access to the entire aircraft for the duration of your trip – some “by the seat” private airlines pose as private jet charter. While single or shared seat options can be ideal for someone who wants to enjoy a more exclusive travel experience and is willing to adhere to a preset flight schedule, true private jet charter means access to a whole aircraft, on your timeline, to and from your selected points of arrival and departure.
Chartering an entire private jet allows you the freedom to choose an aircraft with nonstop range for your mission, seating capacity optionality for your travel party, select catering and the ability to request reliable Wi-Fi access.
When you charter a whole jet, you can cut out almost all the excess waiting, only needing to arrive minutes before your departure and being able to walk directly from your aircraft to your transportation upon arrival. To add to the time savings, a private jet charter means potentially taking a direct route every time. Getting where you want or need to be that much faster is one of the biggest advantages and efficiencies of a private jet charter.
Flying privately also means no longer worrying about airline luggage regulations. While private jets do have a set luggage capacity, it is far more flexible than those of commercial airlines. You can pack your suitcase full of local goods from your vacation, bring your favorite sports equipment or ensure you have everything you need for a conference without the anxiety surrounding oversized or lost luggage. Access to different cabin classes can enhance your passenger capacity as well as what you can bring with you, including your pets – provided all passengers, four-legged or not, follow established FAA safety guidelines.
CHOOSING A PRIVATE JET CHARTER PROVIDER
As you explore private jet charters, it is important to note that not all providers are created equal. That is why it is so important to choose an option that adheres to your standards.
Choosing a provider with a proven record of safety, efficiency and elevated experiences is paramount. Not every jet is created equal – so finding a charter provider as discerning as you will guarantee your aircraft is on par with your travel standards.
