Inside a $53 Million Dollar Jet
The Embraer Lineage 1000E was viewed at the Geneva EBACE and is one of the most expensive luxury items you can buy. The interior is 800 square feet and comes with custom interior design. Because the plane is still small it can fly into smaller airports too which gives passengers more destination options. There is also a queen bed and a hot shower, with its own water tank. The plane has windows in every room too to bring in light and give you a great view even in the batroom.

How to Avoid Disaster
Renting a private jet represents opportunity to travel with unconventional levels of comfort. A private jet lets you skip airport lines, security screens and regulations, luggage and equipment limitations and even poor quality mid-air dining. If you are wondering if this kind of travel suits you, rest assured that it does. Private jet rentals allow you to have the ultimate flying experience without the enormous cost of ownership. Here are the three most important things to check to ensure a safe and reliable experience.
- FAA Credentials
The FAA is fierce in its regulatory practices. Any company or pilot with their official approval can be considered a professional level expert of their craft. That being said, not everyone in the private jet industry is fully FAA regulated. International operations have varying levels of regulation depending on their regions. Ensuring that your aviators are sanctioned to fly in the United States is the best way to validate their proficiency.
- Available Aircraft
You can reasonably expect proper maintenance no matter what airplane you book. All planes are not made equally though. Different trip plans will require different size aircraft with varying fuel efficiencies and speeds. Checking out the available aircraft is a vital step before committing to a company. It is worth the time and effort to make sure they have a vehicle that can properly accommodate your needs.
- Outsourcing
A less common, but still noteworthy, practice is for a larger company to have contracts with independently operated jets. This is not inherently problematic, but in cases like this you want to be sure to check the credentials, services and personnel of the outsourced crew as opposed to those of the larger company. This will prevent you from being underwhelmed when a contract company does not perform to the expectations of their larger partner.
Private jet rentals are an excellent opportunity to maximize the enjoyment of your travels. Taking a little care to book a quality group will keep you safe and happy during your trip.

Benefits of Traveling on a Private Jet
Private travel generally brings to mind ideas of expensive luxury jets. While it is true that traveling in private can be luxurious, it also provides many other benefits.
It is Convenient
Private travel is more convenient than using commercial jets.
Instead of spending much of your travel time simply making your way to and through a busy commercial airport, you can choose to depart from or arrive at smaller airports that are closer to your desired locations.
You also will not have to worry about long lines or delayed planes due to unruly passengers or other problems that are easily avoided by traveling alone.
It Creates Time for You to Multitask
If you are traveling for business, you will be able to focus on reading over any necessary documents and preparing for meetings you have after you arrive at your destination.
This is especially beneficial if you are traveling with business associates, as flying on a commercial airline will not guarantee you can sit with your team, and even if you are in close proximity, the other passengers will create distractions.
It is More Comfortable
While traveling privately does not have to mean extreme luxury, it almost always creates more comfort.
You will have more room to spread out during your flight, changing seats if you desire, and some private jets even include beds so you can arrive at your destination well rested and ready for business or pleasure.
You Can Travel Around Your Schedule
When you fly commercial airlines, you have to travel around their predetermined schedules and flight plans, sometimes making unnecessary stops.
When you travel using a private jet, you can leave or arrive based on your own needs, and with the exception of refueling, you will not have to stop or wait through long layovers.
No longer something only celebrities and government heads partake in, traveling via private jet is becoming increasingly mainstream.
Whether completely alone, with business partners or with family, private travel offers undeniable benefits.
Private Jets can sometimes come with a bad connotation of political giants and celebrities but there are reasons to love the people who use private jets frequently.
- They supply 1.2M manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
- They bring more service jobs also including flight attendants and caterers. The Van Nuys Airport alone bring $1.3B and 12,000 jobs to LA.
- Private Planes can fly to 5,000 airports located in smaller communities. Some communities would not survive without and airport for supplies.
- The aviation industry is only responsible for 2% of carbon emissions.
