When most people think of traveling in luxury, they probably think of flying in first-class. Bigger seats, more room and better service means that that is going to be one luxurious trip.
However, there is an even more luxurious way to fly. Hiring a private jet charter is one of the most luxurious ways to travel.
When you rent a jet, you get to pick the aircraft that suits your needs.
If you know anything about planes, you can pick one that makes you feel safe. Not only do you get to pick the aircraft, but you get to pick everyone who is flying on it.
You will know all of the passengers, which increases the safety as well.
When you fly private, you get to keep your own schedule. You will leave when you need to leave.
The reason that flying private can be so punctual is because you get to pick the airport you leave from. That means that you can fly out of smaller airports with shorter security lines.
At some airports, people flying in private jets get to skip the lines and go straight to the tarmac in a vehicle. Nothing is more luxurious than following your schedule and no one else’s.
Finally, hiring a private jet is luxurious because of the top notch hospitality.
If you fly with a company enough, you may even be able to request your favorite stewardesses and pilots.
Either way, you will get personalized care that is focused only on you and your guests.
Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, when you fly in a private jet you will enjoy traveling again.
If you have put off traveling because you do not want to deal with the crowded airports and hectic terminals, make sure to start flying private.
You will be able to get to your destination when you need to in the lap of luxury.

First things first: How much is a private jet to Miami going to cost?

You should keep in mind, however, that the costs associated with your flight will also include certain taxes and current jet fuel pricing.
Private jets are held to the same high safety standards as their commercial brethren.
Private jet fleets are generally younger than commercial fleets and jet charter companies often employ higher maintenance standards.
