Comparing Jet Charter To Commercial Air Travel

When you are looking at choices to fly, you usually can choose from a commercial airliner or a private jet charter. To fully understand your options, you need to compare the pros and cons of both.

Convenience
When it comes to the convenience of flying, it’s hard to beat a private jet charter. With a commercial flight, you often have to show up at the airport an hour or more before your flight and wait in long lines at the ticketing counter and for security screening. Then you may wind up waiting for a significant amount of time before you can board your flight. With a private charter flight, you can show up shortly before your flight is to take off, don’t have to worry about any lines and can get in your seat right away.

Comfort
In a private jet, you either will be the only passenger or one of very few. There won’t be any cramped seats wedged in between strangers, and you will get personal attention from the flight staff that not even first class can provide on a commercial flight.

Speed
When you take a commercial flight, unless you are traveling between two large cities, you likely will have to connect at a hub airport and switch planes, this will add an hour or more to your flight. When you have a private jet charter flight, you can fly to any airport that can accommodate the size of plane you are on, which includes most general aviation airports around the country, which means it’s very likely you can fly direct, which will cut down on your travel time.

Cost
About the only advantage commercial flying has over a private jet charter is costs. Whereas a commercial ticket in coach class will cost you a few hundred dollars, the same flight on a private jet will cost a few thousand. However, if you have the means to pay for a private jet charter, the other advantages can be more than worth it.

Advantages of a New York Jet Charter

Many people may think that they can’t afford a New York private jet charter, but there are some big advantages to private air charter travel that can outweigh the costs for certain people and businesses.

Comfort
When it comes to comfort, there is no comparison between commercial air travel and a private jet charter. With a private jet charter, you will get personal service from the time you show up at the office until you arrive at your destination and get off the plane. You won’t get anywhere near that kind of service on commercial travel, even in first class.

Convenience
You can’t beat the convenience of a private jet charter. You won’t have to stand in ticket lines or security lines, and you won’t have to worry about how many bags you can take and whether you need to check a bag or not. You also don’t have to show up at the airport and hour or more before your departure time and you won’t have to fly with dozens or hundreds or other people.

Speed
When it comes to getting to your destination quickly, a private jet charter is the way to go. Private jets fly about as fast as a commercial jet, but it’s on the ground where you make up time. Not having to be bound by a set commercial schedule allows you to fly when it’s most convenient for you. And the fact that you can fly point to point in most cases, without having to stop at a hub airport, will save you hours.

Cost
On a per-ticket basis, a private jet charter is more expensive than even a last-minute first class ticket on a commercial flight. But for a business that has to fly several people to the same destination, a private jet charter might actually be a better deal. It pays to at least check into it and not assume the charter flight will be more expensive.

Private Jets Furnishings Customized

One of the perks of flying private aircraft is that the interior of each one is furnished in a style unique to that airplane. Some can even be fitted with golden sinks. This one in particular is styled to mimic a vintage train, for those more old-schooled travelers with time constraints.

The corporate jet can ferry up to 19 passengers with 5 mini-suites for the basic feel of a private train cabin. A wide lounge connects these suites and a parlor for a movie center and room for conversations. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower, a private office space, and a convertible sofa and conversation space.

Private Jet Construction Booming

Private jets are taking longer and longer to build as new features get added to each model. Newer models like the Gulfstream G650 and G650ER allow for customization of appliances, furniture, storage, and climate control from a smartphone. All of these options take time to implement, and the sheer number of orders for most producers is astonishing.

Demand for new private jets has manufacturers reeling, with wait lists as long as two years piling up with even more new orders. Scott Neal from Gulfstream noted that more businesses realize that a corporate jet allos for better worldwide business.

Private Jet Travel is How Business Class Gets Upgraded

While private jet travel is favored by both business and leisure travelers, it is the business travel sector that bolsters private jet travel revenues. Sure, the general public has visions of celebrities flying off with select groups of friends to exclusive vacation hot spots around the world when they hear the phrase private jet travel, but when the rubber meets the runway, it’s the business travelers who opt for the convenience and flexibility offered by private jet charters. Here are some prime private jet travel destinations for elite business travelers.

Hong Kong
As China’s economy continues to grow, many business operators from around the globe visit Hong Kong to forge stronger professional relationships with Chinese manufacturers and suppliers. Chinese government officials also travel to countries to establish trading partnerships, and their business professionals take trips to oversee their foreign business operations. Private jet travel to the crowded Chinese city is preferable to navigating its public airports.

Johannesburg
South Africa has become a leading oil producer in Africa, and Johannesburg is where the national policies that pertain to the lucrative resource are made. The city likely receives plenty of air traffic from visiting oil and mining executives from its economic allies in Brazil, Russia, India and China. Business travelers who cannot get direct flights to Johannesburg from their cities of origin readily opt for private jet travel.

London
The United Kingdom’s capital has been a financial hub in Europe since medieval times. London remains an important global financial and political center. Great Britain’s membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) makes London a key private jet destination for NATO diplomats who have to travel to the country’s capital for meetings.

Moscow
Since the Russian government has promoted trade with countries on four continents, Russian business leaders often travel great distances to reach some of their most important economic partners. For these persons private jet charters may be more efficient than waiting around for connecting flights in numerous public airports. Private flights allow them to get to their destinations quickly, conduct their business and return home to their families.

Washington, D.C.
The capital of the United States is a common private jet charter destination for those who work as government civilians, top military officials, law makers and industry executives. Both international and domestic business travelers who must attend impromptu meetings or who just want to avoid the crowds at Dulles, Reagan and Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall airports count direct, private jet travel as a blessing.

Benefits of a Hawaii Private Jet Charter

If you are flying to Hawaii, a private jet charter for your long plane trip might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it could be the way to go. There are many benefits to flying a private jet charter instead of commercial that people might not be aware of. When booking your next flight to Hawaii, consider the following benefits of a Hawaii private jet charter.

Comfort
Flying to Hawaii from anywhere in the continental U.S., even the West Coast, takes several hours. For such a flight, you can’t beat the comfort of a private jet charter. You will have more room and more amenities than you can get even in first class on a commercial flight.

Convenience
When you are flying to Hawaii, every extra bit of convenience that makes your trip more tolerable counts, and you get those little extra bits of convenience with a private jet charter. When you fly private, you don’t have to show up to the airport extra early, stand in long ticket or security lines, have to worry about how many bags you can bring and how much they will cost or spend tons of time waiting on the plane for passengers to get on and off. Instead, you can save time and your sanity by arriving shortly before your flight and boarding your plane quickly while also disembarking quickly when you arrive at your destination.

Speed
If you are going to Hawaii for vacation or to see family, you probably want to get there as soon as possible. You can’t beat the speed of a private jet charter. In addition to saving time on both the boarding and arrival processes, you also have the advantage of being able to fly straight to where you are going. If you are visiting an island other than Oahu, you can fly straight there rather than having to change planes in Honolulu for another flight.

Though it is more expensive than a commercial flight, the benefits of a private jet charter can make it something you should consider for your next flight to Hawaii.

Private Jets to Get Faster With New Aircraft Concepts

New designs in aircraft are expected to cut travel time as new planes reach unbelievable speeds. The Antipode, a concept craft so far is estimated to fly at 12,427 miles per hour, or Mach 24.

With past supersonic aircraft for travel, upkeep is too expensive for commercial applications, so the new designs are more geared towards smaller aircraft carrying about 10 passengers. Private jets that incorporate these new concepts would be capable of travelling from New York to London in 11 minutes, or New York to Sydney in roughly 30 minutes.

This style of flight would be perfect for those intercontinental business meetings for lunch, and returning home for dinner.

How Jet Hedging Works

 

When you think about hedging as it relates to planes, you probably think about fuel hedging, which is something the commercial airlines do a lot of as they try to buy fuel ahead of time at a set price to provide consistent costs. Private jet owners engage in fuel hedging, too, but there is another type of hedging when it comes to private flying.

What Is Jet Hedging?

When people don’t want to or can’t afford their own plane, they can buy into fractional jet ownership, meaning they get a certain amount of use of a single plane or multiple planes in one category, such as small, medium or large. These programs offer a lot of advantages, but they also have some limitations. Jet hedging takes the process a bit further by allowing those with fractional ownership to have more control over what type of plane they have. For example, if someone bought fractional ownership in a small jet, say an eight-seater, but needed a larger jet for a trip, a hedging company could help.

Advantages Of Jet Hedging

With jet hedging, you get more control not only over the type of aircraft you fly in but also the way the seating is configured, how old it is and what its customer satisfaction rating is. If you need a larger jet or one that has a bigger range than the one in which you have ownership, hedging can make it happen. And though hedging sounds as though it would add costs onto what you already spend for your fractional ownership, in many cases such trips can actually be a better value. Hedging companies buy empty legs on other jets, which they get at a discount.

Private jet travel already has many advantages over commercial air travel and being able to do private jet hedging is just one more advantage. You can use hedging to make you air travel even more convenient.
