Considering a First Trip on a Private Jet? Here Are 3 Things You Need to Know

There must be many of us that have never flown on a private jet before.  This may be because we had never considered it a possibility for us or were just unsure how to go about it. This article will talk about 3 things that will set us on the right flight path to this more luxurious and timely form of air travel.

How do you Book a Private Jet if you have not Made It This Far?

To book a private jet is as easy as finding an online provider, such as Jettly. You will simply need to know a few basic details to use their online cost estimator. You will initially only be asked for details such as departure and arrival locations, when you wish to depart (date and time), and the number of passengers you propose to have in total. It may be just you, or include family, friends, work colleagues, or teammates. This is the beauty of private jets – you can choose who you fly with. You can choose exactly when you want to fly. It does not have to fit in around airline schedules but be when you want to set off. In terms of your destination, private jets, because they are smaller, can land at a greater variety of locations than large commercial airliners, including private runways. This cuts down on travelling between airports using other forms of transport.

Size of Aircraft

The size of the private jet you require will be determined by how many people it is that you would like to have flying beside you. Whether you are a bride organising a hen party or an employer wanting key employees to accompany them to a key business meeting. It will also be determined by distance.

Private jets will be divided into 6 basic categories: super-light jets, light jets, super-mid-size jets, mid-size jets, heavy jets, and ultra-long-range jets. In addition, you can book executive airliners, which are called bizliners. You are not limited in size because of choosing to fly by private jet. They can also carry large cargos, if required. Another point about the size of the aircraft increasing in size is that they will fly for a greater range without needing to refuel.

An example of a vey light jet would be the Embraer Phenom 100, which will carry up to four passengers and obtain a cruise speed of 391mph. As a mid-size jet, a Hawker Beechcraft 900XP will seat nine passengers inside its spacious cabin. The luxury extends to an attractively designed interior. This aircraft is designed for travelling up to 3,242 miles and at a higher cruise speed of 530mph. At the other end of the scale, the Bombardier Global 5000, despite flying a range of 5,500 miles, sacrifices range for luxury. It can hold 17 passengers and fly at the same cruise speed as the Hawker Beechcraft 900XP.

There is plenty of choice for the private jet passenger to consider. Your private jet provider and their website tools will be able to guide you through this process smoothly and without turbulence.

Is My Event Suitable for Private Jet Travel?

Any event, large or small, is suitable to be travelled to by private jet. Whether it is to a holiday destination, a sporting venue, or a scientific conference. Companies chartering private jets do not discriminate or give preference to certain events or classes of people. Everyone is treated with the same degree of luxury. From individual attention to being left alone to enjoy the enhanced privacy associated with private jet flight. The same privacy that celebrities the world over are enjoying by using this method of flying. This does not just apply to flying on the plane itself but also at the airport where you will be able to board the plane from a private terminal some distance away from the crowds. 

So, why not consider a private jet for the first time and find out what luxury in air travel can be like. Discover how quickly you can arrive at your destination and how much better it is to avoid crowds and the delays associated with them.
