New to flying Private?
Whether you are looking for an ultra-luxury flying experience to your one-of-a-kind vacation or have your executive flying to catch a time-urgent event, we are on hand to guide you every step of the way to your seamless flights.
I’ve never chartered a flight before, where do I start?
Chartering a private flight for the first time can be a seamless experience with our expert team. To get started, simply contact us via our website or phone. Our dedicated charter specialists will guide you through the process, asking about your travel preferences, desired destination, and any specific requirements you may have. We’ll help you choose the right aircraft, provide you with a quote, and handle all the details, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey from start to finish.
Why do I need a charter broker? Why can’t I book direct?
While it’s possible to book directly with an aircraft operator, using a charter broker offers several advantages. As experienced professionals in the industry, we have access to a wide network of operators and aircraft, allowing us to find the best options tailored to your requirements. We handle all logistics, including compliance, scheduling, and special requests, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Additionally, we can provide valuable insights on aircraft quality, safety records, and pricing, making your charter process smoother and more efficient.
How much does a charter flight cost?
The cost of a charter flight can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of aircraft, the distance of your flight, the duration, and any additional services you may require. For a precise quote tailored to your specific needs, please contact us with your travel details, and we will provide you with an accurate estimate.
Are there any additional fees I should be aware of?
When you receive a charter quote from us, it always includes landing fees and all necessary surcharges and taxes, so you can have peace of mind knowing the primary costs are covered. Additional charges may occur if you require extra services, such as ground transportation or special catering requests. Rest assured, all potential charges will be communicated transparently in advance, and there are no hidden fees. We prioritize clear communication to ensure you fully understand the costs associated with your charter flight.
I have a few allergies, how can I let the operator know about these and also about my preferences?
We prioritize your comfort and safety, so it’s essential to communicate any allergies or preferences to us during the booking process. When you contact us, please share any specific dietary restrictions or allergies, and we will ensure that the operator is informed. Our team will coordinate with the flight crew to accommodate your needs, whether it involves meal preparations or other preferences, ensuring a personalized and comfortable flying experience.
What types of aircraft do you offer?
We offer a diverse range of aircraft, from light jets suitable for short trips to large, luxurious jets for long-haul flights. Our fleet includes turboprops, midsize jets, heavy jets, and even VIP airliners. Each aircraft comes with various amenities and configurations to meet your specific needs. Contact us to discuss your travel requirements, and we’ll help you select the best option.
How far in advance should I book my charter flight?
While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, we recommend booking your charter flight at least a week in advance to ensure availability and the best selection of aircraft. If you have specific travel dates or preferences, the earlier you book, the more options you will have. However, we are always here to help with urgent travel needs.
Can I change my flight itinerary after booking?
Yes, we understand that plans can change. If you need to alter your itinerary after booking, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to accommodate your changes, subject to availability and any applicable fees. Our team is here to assist you in making the necessary adjustments smoothly.
What is the baggage allowance for a charter flight?
Baggage allowances can vary depending on the type of aircraft you choose, but generally, you can bring a reasonable amount of luggage based on your travel needs. When you book your flight, please inform us about the size and quantity of your luggage, and we’ll provide guidance on what can be accommodated on your chosen aircraft.
Are pets allowed on private jet charters?
Yes, many of our aircraft are pet-friendly, allowing you to travel with your furry companions. However, we recommend discussing your pet travel plans with us in advance, as there may be specific requirements or restrictions based on the aircraft and destination. Our team will ensure that all necessary arrangements are made for a comfortable journey for both you and your pet.
Is there Wi-Fi available on the aircraft?
Most modern private jets are equipped with Wi-Fi; however, availability and additional charges may vary by aircraft type and operator. When booking your flight, let us know if internet access is essential for your travel, and we will ensure you have the necessary information regarding connectivity options on your chosen aircraft.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
In the event of a delay or cancellation, our team will work diligently to find alternative arrangements for you. We monitor all flights and will communicate any changes promptly. We prioritize your travel needs and will make every effort to minimize any inconvenience caused.
Why should I book a charter flight instead of flying on First Class or Business Class?
Booking a charter flight offers several distinct advantages over flying First Class or Business Class on commercial airlines. Here are some key reasons why choosing a charter flight may be the best option for your travel needs:
- Flexibility and Convenience: With a charter flight, you can choose your departure time, airport, and route. This flexibility allows you to avoid the rigid schedules of commercial airlines, making it easier to accommodate last-minute changes or specific travel needs.
- Access to More Airports: Charter flights can access thousands of airports, including smaller regional airports that commercial airlines may not serve. This means you can get closer to your final destination, reducing travel time to your final location.
- Personalized Experience: Chartering a private jet provides a tailored travel experience. From customized in-flight catering to specific onboard amenities, you can enjoy a journey designed entirely around your preferences and needs.
- Privacy and Comfort: Charter flights offer a higher level of privacy and comfort than commercial flights. You can travel with your group without the distractions of other passengers, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
- Time Savings: With charter flights, you can often avoid long security lines and check-in processes. You can arrive at the airport just minutes before your flight, allowing you to maximize your time and minimize the stress associated with air travel.
- Dedicated Service: On a charter flight, you receive personalized attention from a dedicated crew who are there to cater to your needs. This level of service is often unmatched in commercial settings, ensuring that your journey is as enjoyable as possible.
- Enhanced Safety and Security: Chartering a private jet allows you to choose operators with a proven safety record and high safety standards. Additionally, you have more control over who travels with you, enhancing your privacy and security.
