Why and How To Join the Private Jet Charter Trend

Why and How To Join the Private Jet Charter Trend | The Early Airway Private Jet Charter

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.

Biggest Travel Trends from 2015

The year 2015 saw some shifts in the travel industry. Here are some of the biggest changes we’ve seen going into 2016.

  1. Revenue Based Frequent Flyer Programs: The major airline companies (United, Delta and American) all moved to rewarding passengers based on the price of their ticket instead of the miles that they flew. This means that frequent fliers aren’t benefitting as much as the people who hand over more money for their trip.
  2. Third Party Fees: Lufthansa outraged their customers by charging them for buying their plane tickets on a third party website.
  3. New Seat Concepts: Zodiac Aerospace created a new seat design that seats passengers facing each other that will increase leg room on cramped commercial flights.
  4. Uber for Business Travelers: Uber has a business platform which lets employees expense their rides to the company. Uber monitors the data and allows businesses to set limits.
  5. Airbnb for Business Travelers: Airbnb followed Uber’s footsteps but for places to stay while on the road. Businesses can put multiple employees in a condo for a meeting and save money.

The Year Ahead in Aviation

The year ahead brings great excitement for the travel industry, with new technological advancements, program execution, and forecasted events. New airplanes from Bombardier and Airbus are expected to hit commercial aviation within the next calendar year, powered by the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbo Fan. Declining prices in oil will likely continue to increase profits for travel providers, hopefully resulting in cheaper travel costs for the average consumer as well. Air shows will likely not be central to the aviation industry, but KC-46A testing will draw niche-specific attention.

Aircraft Crew Makes a Big Difference

Technology has become a large part of our daily lives and how we travel. But a survey of 61,000 passengers by the International Air Transport Association has noted that the in-air service, flight attendants responsiveness, and performance getting on and off the plane are making a much bigger difference in satisfaction than entertainment. In-flight service and an attentive crew mean much more to a passenger than a comfortable seat, but it is nice to have both.

Take Control of Your Travel With Jet Hedging

If you fly via jet charter on a regular basis, you know that there are many offers available that claim to help you save money. Jet cards and fractional share programs promise flyers unbeatable value on every flight.

While you may save money on certain routes, hedging gives you the freedom to choose the option that best fits your needs every time.

Free Yourself From Commitment

Pre-paid jet cards and share programs rely on your willingness to commit.

They may offer savings on some of the flights you take most regularly, but they will profit when you venture outside of a narrow itinerary. Since you have already invested in their services, you will be compelled to continue even if their flight is pricier than the competitor’s.

The consistency of traveling with one airline may be appealing to many, but it is certainly costly when it requires prepayment or fraction purchasing.

Do Not Be a Victim of Expenses

Prepaid jet cards and fraction sharing options attract clients with fixed pricing and consistency.

The pricing offered often includes savings for a select few flights, but there are still variables that may mean you are overpaying:

  • Fuel costs vary constantly, but most programs will calculate prepaid rates based on an inflated estimate. This means that when fuel prices go down, you are still locked into paying more.
  • Aircraft availability is inconsistent. As a fractional shareholder, however, you have probably been promised flights on a specific jet. If that aircraft is not already at your departing airport, transporting it there incurs an additional potential cost that is often built into the fixed price of the flight.

Travel Savvy by Jet Hedging

Even if you have already bought a jet card or a fractional share, you can continue to use it on trips that provide savings.

For the rest of your travel, however, you can save thousands through the flexibility of jet hedging. With no commitment and fewer built-in costs, you can travel smarter by requesting rates for your favorite routes.
