4 Compelling Reasons to Fly Private

Have you ever had the opportunity to fly private? You may think it’s a privilege reserved for the rich and famous, but it’s not completely out of reach for the average person.

If you feel like you could never justify the cost of a private jet, it might interest you to find out exactly why it’s such a good way to travel. We’re going to take a look at some of the most incredible things about flying privately, so keep reading as we explore luxury travel!

1. Save Time

We all know the struggles of a commercial flight. You queue to check-in, then you queue at security, then you queue for the plane. You get into your seat after forcing your luggage into the overhead compartment, and within half an hour you’re in another queue—this time for the toilet!

Even once you’ve arrived at your destination the waiting isn’t over. Getting off the plane can take time, and then there’s the wait for your luggage. You rack up an incredible amount of time queuing and waiting.

Chartering a private plane eliminates all of these issues. A terminal for private planes is called an FBO (Fixed Base Operator)—you can get straight onto the flight, with all of your luggage.

So there’s no arriving 3 hours before your flight. You can turn up 10 minutes before it’s scheduled to leave, and could even leave early!

2. Fly Where You Want, When You Want

A private jet isn’t bound by flight schedules. If you want to fly to Paris on a Friday morning, you can do just that. If you want to stop by London on your way, you’re in charge!

If you’re flying between the United States, there isn’t even a need for paperwork—as long as you comply with the laws and regulations.

3. Personalized Catering

Airline food has a bad reputation. Strange tasting food, awkward packaging, and a boring menu are part and parcel of a meal while you fly.

The beauty of a private plane is that you can have whatever catering you desire. The food will be prepared at the FBO and will be served to you at whatever point suits. Sushi, meat platters, or soup and sandwiches—whatever you want, goes!

4. It’s in the Name: Privacy

One of the biggest and most appealing benefits of a private flight is the fact that it is, indeed, private. If you have an important business meeting, you have the potential for hours of privacy should you need it.

Or maybe a private flight is the start of a dream honeymoon! You can relax in complete privacy, and will only be interrupted when you want to be. Nobody pushing past you to get to the toilet, no strangers sleeping on your shoulder… bliss.

Fly Private for the Ultimate Luxury

It’s no exaggeration to say that choosing to fly private will give you a completely different experience from what you’re used to on commercial flights. Whether you’re on business or holiday, take the stress out of travel with a private flight.
