There’s a common misconception with private jets that they are only meant to serve the millionaires of the world. That couldn’t be further from the truth!

In fact, you can book a private jet for as reasonable a price as what it would cost to purchase first-class tickets aboard most major airlines. At that point, choosing between having your own private jet or boarding with a bunch of passengers becomes a very simple choice.

The price to charter a jet becomes truly expensive when it comes to long-range jets. A transatlantic private flight can easily cost over $10,000 per hour. Even if you divide it across all of the passengers it will still be more expensive then booking first class. Understandably, this is because airlines have more passengers aboard and hence they can spread out the cost to turn a profit.

Maybe you’re looking to book a business trip with a few business partners. Perhaps you’re trying to impress that special someone in your life.

Whatever the case might be, booking a private jet will always ensure that you get the highest form of VIP treatment imaginable. You’ll receive top-of-the-line catering, champagne, cold meats, and a wide variety of other non-alcoholic beverages.

You can place a request in for any additional amenities that you’d like before the flight. So if you’re booking the private jet for a luxurious bachelor party, you can request that a certain type of beer be on board for you and your passengers.

On the other hand, the overall commercial airlines experience isn’t for everyone. It requires getting to an airport early enough to make it through security and wait hours before you can even board your flight. Then, once you get on the flight, you’re surrounded by people you don’t know. If you don’t bring your noise-canceling headphones, then you might have to deal with a crying baby the entire flight.

Not to mention that you have to get up for anybody sitting beside you that needs to go to the restroom, or getting stuck listening to someone telling you their whole life story.

If you book a private jet flight, then everyone keeps to themselves, even if you don’t know everyone on the flight with you. The flight attendants on private jets will only talk to you as little or as much as you want them to and are far more accommodating.

Depending on the private jet that you rent, you can expect it to fit anywhere from 10 to 15 people on board. However, that might be a little more jampacked than you were hoping.

While everyone will fit comfortably in a seat, there won’t be as much room to move around the cabin. Also, with more people to service, you won’t get as much individual catering as you might have liked to.

This “con” can be avoided by ensuring that you book a private jet that’s the correct size for your party. As long as you do that, there won’t be any difficulties.

On the other hand, commercial flights are usually booked to capacity. That means having to share the plan with over 100 passengers. Granted it’s a bit more spacious in business class but even then it doesn’t come close to a private jet.

Additionally, even if you fly business class the amount of baggage you can have is limited for first class and business class passengers. If you’re flying you’re allowed to carry as much as you’d like. If you’d like to carry just a carry on that’s fine but if you want to carry 500kilos of gold that’s also fine (as long as the plane doesn’t exceed maximum take-off weight).

Let’s face it… as amazing as the flight experience can be, your end game is to arrive to your destination as quickly as possible. The entire process is much quicker when you book a private jet.

You don’t need to pass through any exhaustive security screenings in order to board the private jet. You simply hop on the jet with your luggage and off you go!

Not to mention that you can be in constant communication with the crew if you’re running a bit late. As long as they stay in the know, they can accommodate your schedule and take off whenever you need to… and quickly!

One of the biggest advantages of charter flights vs flying commercial is the amount of privacy that you’re provided. On a commercial flight, you have very little privacy. Everyone can see what you’re doing, what you’re carrying, when you go to the restroom, and so on.

With private air travel this isn’t the case. You’ll have as much privacy as you wish and no-one will interrupt you or your party without your say so. Furthermore, with private flights, your destination isn’t public so if you want to keep your activities private you can do. There are some limitations to this, especially with larger aircraft.

As mentioned above, when you’re flying private planes you get considerably a lot more amenities. Of course, this includes food and drinks and you can request anything that you’d like. Carrying your pets isn’t an issue and if you’d like to roller up and down the aisle you’re welcome to.

It’s also possible to organize kids’ parties, space-themed flights, and anything crazy that you can imagine.

With commercial air travel, your flight is dictated by the operators. With private jet travel customers are free to fly between any airports they wish as long as it can support their chosen plane. Typically this means that you and your company/ group/ family can arrive close to your final destination meaning less time spent on traveling by car.

Flying by private jet is just as safe as by commercial. When it comes to the risks involved the two are on the same level. Combined with today’s technology, flying is extremely safe and convenient.

When it comes to flight patterns and flight times the differences are minimal. This is true for flight height too.

Primarily the size and the internal layout. Most private jets are smaller but more spacious on the inside due to less seating. However, many private jets also have a commercial variant.

If you’re looking to add luxury or exclusivity to your travels, then it doesn’t get much better than booking a private jet charter. The amount of bonus that you have, and time savings are unparalleled by even the most luxurious business class tickets.

Of course, chartering a private jet can be a lot more expensive than commercial. You’ll also need to get used to the change in procedures but on the whole, if you value your time and comfort then it’s a great trade-off.

Now that you’ve seen the pros and cons of booking a private jet charter or a commercial airline, it’s time to charter a private jet.
