Nine Ways to Fly Private

There are numerous ways to fly on private jets, and the options can vary based on factors such as your budget, location, and specific needs. Here are some common ways to fly on private jets.

Charter Flights

Chartering a private jet is one of the most popular ways to access private jet travel. You can rent a private jet for a specific trip, and you have the flexibility to choose the aircraft type, departure and arrival airports, and flight schedule.

 

Fractional Ownership

Some companies offer fractional ownership programs where you buy a share of a private jet, typically on an annual basis. This allows you to have guaranteed access to a specific aircraft type and a certain number of flight hours per year.

 

Jet Cards

Jet card programs are similar to fractional ownership but offer more flexibility. You purchase a certain number of flight hours or a prepaid card that can be used for private jet travel. These cards often have options for different aircraft types.

 

Memberships

Some private jet companies offer membership programs where you pay a yearly fee to access their fleet of private jets. Members can book flights as needed.

 

Empty Leg Flights

Occasionally, charter companies offer “empty leg” flights. These are flights that occur when a private jet needs to reposition itself for its next charter, and the seats are made available at a reduced cost.

 

Jet Brokerage Services

Jet brokers can help you find suitable private jet options based on your specific requirements. They act as intermediaries between travelers and private jet operators.

 

Jet Sharing

There are platforms and services that allow individuals to share private jet flights with others, reducing the overall cost of chartering a private jet.

 

Private Jet Memberships

Some high-end membership clubs or associations offer exclusive access to private jets for their members.

 

Ownership

Owning a private jet is an option for those who frequently travel and prefer the convenience and flexibility of having their aircraft. However, this is the most expensive option and comes with operational costs.

The availability and affordability of these options can vary depending on your location and the specific services offered in your region. It’s important to research and compare different private jet providers to find the option that best suits your needs and budget.
