Why and How To Join the Private Jet Charter Trend

According to Eurocontrol, a national private jet travel association, and the Federal Aviation Administration, private jet travel is increasingly popular. Considering how the pros outweigh the cons, it’s not surprising. If you value time and convenience when traveling, consider the following benefits to private jet charters:
• You will not have to arrive hours early to wait in ticket lines or security lines before your flight.
• You have the ability to create your own itinerary, including multiple legs if needed, without unwanted stopovers.
• Many private planes fly out of smaller airports that could be close to home, minimizing wasted time on the road and circling parking lots.
• Booking a private flight online or even on your phone is easier than ever before. Technology makes it less time-consuming to not only book your flight but customize it as well.

If you suppose you would like to sample this luxury world of private jet travel, explore online for charters in your area. Compare rates and other key information. Initiate contact with either an operator or a broker. The price difference between the two is usually negligible to non-existent. Booking a flight through the operator involves a more hands-on approach. A broker, however, handles all the details for you, making it the more practical choice for the inexperienced. The cost of private charters keeps them out of reach for most people, but with a little luck, and if you play your cards right, the pricing can compete with first class commercial flights. A broker can assist you with finding the best deal.

Before settling on a company, ask about the aircraft they employ and the experience of their pilots. Be sure the operator is legally certified. Then select the service that appeals to you. Subsequently, provide all the pertinent information for your flight needs, such as your destination, number of passengers and preferred time of arrival. All of this information has an impact on the fare. Once you have established all of this, you will receive a quote. Soon after that you will find yourself happily on your way to your destination in luxury.

Three Reasons Private Jets Are the Safest Option

Many people suffer from anxiety when they are preparing to fly. It is reasonable to wonder about the safety of the aircraft you are about to board. Since private jets are often patronized by clients like CEOs and celebrities, the rare accidents that occur tend to be notable news items. This may give the false impression that private jets are less safe than commercial flights, when in fact, the opposite is true.

1. Private Jets Offer Uncompromised Security

Equipment malfunction and pilot error are some common fears passengers have, but security is perhaps the most important aspect of flight safety. Traveling on a commercial flight means you will be joined by dozens of other passengers, and your safety is as much in their hands as it is the pilot’s. The security of a private jet is unrivaled because it is completely uncompromised. You are far safer on a private aircraft since you and your party are the only passengers.

2. Private Charter Jets Rely on Reputation

Commercial airlines benefit from a team of legal and public relations professionals who work full-time to protect their corporation’s reputation for safety. Private jet companies are generally much smaller and lack the staff needed to promote a certain image. The reputation of a private jet company, then, relies entirely on its track record. Charter providers must keep passengers safe at all times because their reputation and existence truly depends on it.

3. Jet Charters and Commercial Flights Have Comparable Safety

Jets are safer than commercial flights because of superior security and a greater emphasis on reputation, but what do statistics say about the safety of private jets? Information varies from year to year, but recent calculations indicate that for every 1 million hours in the air, commercial jets reported 4.7 accidents, including ones involving helicopters. Commercial airlines have very close figures with 1.5 accidents for 1 million hours. Discounting accidents in helicopters, private jets have a nearly identical safety record to their commercial counterparts.

Lap in the Luxury – How to Make the Most of a Charter Jet

This is the life you see in television, movies and music videos. Whether you are splurging for yourself or arranging a group trip, you want to make the most of your Dallas based private jet charter. There are many advantages to going this route, but you want to book a deal that will allow you to soak in the most luxury. Here are some simple tips to make the most of your trip.

Service, Service, Service

The whole point of luxury is having professionals cater to your needs and desires. When you book a charter, you want to make sure it offers 24/7 service of the highest caliber. This means they can make accommodations when spontaneity occurs, provide high quality catering, anticipate the needs of your destination and generally put in the effort to make you feel like royalty.

Get the Right Jet

It is fairly obvious that not every airplane is ideal for every trip. Even accounting for the length of your flights, airports that will receive you and the size of your party, you should have some options available. Certainly there will be a cost versus size consideration, but if you are going to charter a trip, do not be afraid to go all the way. Aim for the jet that will provide you with the most comfort and the strongest memories of luxury.

Professional Planning

This is an often undervalued benefit to private chartering. Because the aircraft is booked specifically for you trip, you have the freedom to plan the travel as finely or loosely as suits your needs. Federal and international regulations will put some limitations on how whimsically you can alter the plan, but the entirety of the trip can be customized. Whether the trip is for business or pleasure, let the experts help you make a timeline that brings the most out of your trip.

If you are planning to leave from Houston, and you want to experience the highest quality travel available, then you need to consider a private jet charter. Live the high life as often as you can.
