Renting a private jet for personal and company travels used to be a status symbol. Only gazillioners with gazillion bucks can fly using a privately owned jet.

Benefits of private jet charter service

The benefits of flying on private jets include personalized service from staff and flight crew, no long lines at the check-in or check-out counters, 24/7 service including holidays (weather permitting,) and the least possible threat from terrorists (unless you let one in with your entourage, which you probably won’t.)

SOP for private jet charter is that you book the service before hand, but there are now charter services that specialize in short notice flights; they are just bit more costly, but it solves your jet availability problem.

Private jets of course, cater to a more luxurious flying atmosphere than the standard commercial flights. You have basically, the whole jet to yourself. Some corporate passengers even conduct business meeting while in flight. The private jet charter services also offer one more thing that commercial airlines cannot: discretion. You don’t need a ticket that punches in your time of departure or destination. Plus, since you have the entire jet to yourself, you won’t need to go to the airport hours before your flight. Some companies may even create a personalized or corporate travel agenda so that you or your colleagues will never miss a flight.
