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.
