Need to Take a One-Way Flight? Why You Should Examine Privately Chartered Jets

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Are you preparing to take a trip in the near future? If so, will your trip need to be a roundtrip or a one-way trip? Although most travelers need to take roundtrips, there are some who are only in need of a one-way trip. If you are able to take a one-way trip, you may want to think about chartering a private jet, instead of flying commercially.

When it comes to the chartering of a private jet for one-way trips, there are many travelers, just like you, who wonder why they should charter a jet. One of the many reasons why you may want to think about chartering a private jet for your next one-way trip is because of privacy. When you charter a private jet, you and your predetermined passengers, if there are any, will be the only individuals aboard the aircraft, aside from the crew. This means that you get to travel in comfort alone. There is no having to deal with unpleasant flight attendants, screaming children, or unhappy passengers. This, alone, is enough reason to seriously think about chartering a private jet for your next one-way trip.

Need to Take a One-Way Flight? Why You Should Examine Privately Chartered Jets

While being able to travel alone is a great reason for chartering a private jet for your next one-way trip, it is not the only reason why you should. In fact, there is an even bigger reason, the price. Although privately chartered jets are often associated with expensive tastes, it is more than possible for you to find a relatively low-cost or affordable private jet chartering company to do business with. There are a number of companies that regularly charge low or competitive rates, for all different types of travels. These types of companies are the ones that you may want to examine first, when looking for a private jet chartering company to do business with.

In addition to companies that regularly charge low or reasonable rates for the chartering of a private jet, it is also possible to find companies that offer specials on one-way trips. That is why you are urged to give a private jet charter a quick glance if you are only in need of a one-way ticket, instead of roundtrip travel reservations. Although a large number of private jet chartering companies offer deals or specials for one-way travel, not everyone does. Despite not being offered, one-way discounted chartering trips are worth looking into, as they may be able to save you a considerable amount of money.

Chartering a Private Jet versus Flying on a Commercial Airline

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Are you in the mist of planning a trip? Whether that trip is for a business meeting, a romantic getaway, or a honeymoon, you will need to make travel arrangements. If your destination is located more than two or three hours away from your residence, you may be looking to fly. After all, air travel is a relatively safe, easy, and convenient way to get to your destination. When it comes to air travel, many travelers automatically think of commercial airlines, but did you know that you also have another option? That option involves chartering a private jet.

If you have yet to officially make all of your air travel arrangements or reservations, you may want to take some time to examine the chartering of a private jet. Over the past few years, the number of individuals who choose to charter private jets has increased. While a large number of individuals prefer to charter private jets, it is something that may not necessarily be right for you. When determining whether or not you should charter a private jet or book a seat aboard a commercial airline, you are urged to compare the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Chartering a Private Jet versus Flying on a Commercial Airline

One of the many reasons why travelers choose to book reservations aboard a commercial airline is because of the cost of doing so. In most cases, it is more than affordable to book a seat on a commercial airline. Of course, it is important to examine the dates of travel. It is not uncommon for commercial airlines to charge more money for air travel during holidays or for last minute reservations. Still, the cost of booking a seat aboard a commercial airline is typically cheaper than arranging the chartering of a private jet.

Business Jet Air Taxis At Your Doorstep

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

You may not find a business jet in your driveway in the next few years, but how far away is the nearest small airport? If you’re like many around the country, the answer is fewer than 20 miles. There are over 5,000 small airports in the U.S. that the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) regards as ‘underused’. That means they are used at less than normal capacity for an airport that size.

The latest small private or business jets, VLJs (Very Light Jets), can land on runways as short as 3,000 feet (914 m). By contrast, mid-sized business jets like the Gulfstream G150 require almost 5,000 feet (1524 m) to land. They do have nice long ranges, though: more than 3,000 nautical miles. They can fly from LA to NY in a single hop.

Business Jet Air Taxis At Your Doorstep

Eclipse Aviation, with their Eclipse E500 can definitely take advantage of that. Using smaller airports means quicker take off and landing, and flights nearer to home for millions. Instead of fighting traffic, security and all the other commercial air travel hassles travelers can simply take a short drive or taxi ride to a local ‘air taxi’.

Fractional ownership arrangements, in which multiple individuals or companies own a part of the aircraft, make having one at your disposal on short notice feasible. At $1 million to $3 million, or even $10 million for the larger private jets, spreading the fractional ownership over as few as five makes the jet less than the average home in major urban areas.
