Why Hiring a Private Jet Is the Best and Fastest Way to Travel

Oh private jets, how we love thee. Let us count the ways.

It’s fun.

Who hasn’t seen a private jet on TV and thought about how much fun it would be? You could make noise, run around, or simply sit and sip champagne. And you’d always have a window seat.

It’s exclusive.

How many people do you know who have chartered a jet?

It allows you to control your departure time or arrival time.

Commercial flights, especially overseas, tend to depart and arrive at the same times each day. If you need more flexibility in your flight times, a private jet flies according to your time frame.

Less traffic and hassle when you take off—avoid the crowded airport.

You won’t have to find parking and then rush through the airport to your flight. You drive up to the hangar or the runway, get out, and board. It’s that easy.

No-hassle security lines.

Although you still have to go through a security check, traveling via private jet ensures that you receive VIP security checks. This means no hassle from TSA, no waiting in long lines, no stranger going through your luggage, and no worries that you accidentally left your nail file in your bag.

No lost luggage.

You know your bags are with you at all times, and you won’t worry about finding your luggage—or someone else taking it. Plus, you don’t have to carefully plan what you carry on.

Depending on your destination, flying by private jet could save you time and connection hassles.

You won’t have to scramble through the airport, hoping you and your luggage don’t miss your connecting flight. You’ll have less stress because you decide how and when you arrive at your destination. Also, your connection flights have flexibility to fly around areas with bad weather, unlike commercial airliners that would be delayed or canceled due to bad weather in their designated path.

Most private jets are more luxurious than the first-class section of commercial jets.

Known for their comfort, luxury, and amenities, on a private jet you’ll feel pampered and special.

Sometimes you can travel for less.

It doesn’t get much classier than a private jet. If you’re planning to travel first class anyway, why not go that extra step and travel in style the way millionaires do?

Flying commercially is like being on a bus, and taking a private jet is like using a luxury car service.

When you board your private jet, you relax immediately, and it sets the tone for your vacation. Flying commercially can be extremely stressful, and it’s not a relaxing way to start the trip you’ve been looking forward to.

Flying by private jet is romantic, so if you were a honeymooner going somewhere, this could make it even more special.

Your honeymoon will get off to a great start on a private jet. Your new spouse will love it, and you can talk, laugh, and make some romantic memories without worrying about other people.

You can conduct business in private.

A private jet not only impresses clients, but also gives you seclusion to freely discuss sensitive or proprietary information.
