Top 5 Reasons to Fly Private

1. Privacy

Not having to travel with the general public is a prime reason many affluent customers decide to fly private. Similar to wanting to be in their private car rather than a subway or public transport, a private jet offers a way to travel without rubbing elbows with the masses.

Board your private jet anytime you want
Think about it… no fighting for overhead storage, no needing to ignore the over eager first time flier sitting next to you, no listening to someone else's kid scream bloody murder. It's hard to imagine for those of us who still fly commercial, but those who have experienced the joy and tranquility of being on a PRIVATE plane know what we're talking about.

You choose who you travel with instead of the luck of the draw. It's priceless.

2. Flexibility and Time Savings

When you fly on an airline you have to choose from THEIR schedule. When you fly on a private plane, you travel on YOUR schedule. Want to leave at exactly 5:15PM on Friday? Done.

The time savings not only come from you deciding the schedule. Even if there was a flight at 5:15PM, the process to get to park, get through security, check bags, wait in line to board, etc… There is none of that when you fly private.

Also, connecting flights are a thing of the past. Because there are more than 5000 airports you can fly to (vs. 500 the airlines can go to) chances are you'll get much closer to where you need to be.

3. Convenience

Pulling up right to your jet
We touched on the time savings and flexibility above, but avoiding hassles is another huge advantage of flying private. The way you get on and off a private plane is via an FBO. These are basically private airports that have no security and frequently let you drive right up to the plane and get on board while your car is valet parked.

There is no baggage check in (or risk of losing it!) because the pilot simply helps you put it in the cargo hold. Traveling with fragile or valuable cargo is made easier too. If you have equipment that needs to stay with you in the cabin you can do that on a private jet.

4. Safety

The safety of flying private is realized in two ways. First, you are not exposed to the hazards your fellow passengers may present. You know everyone you are flying with so there is no risk from them (we hope!).

Second, the FAA and various private safety auditing companies ensure that the private planes operating in this country have the best trained pilots and best maintenance they can have. As a consumer you can get the entire history of the specific aircraft and pilots you'll be flying with. Try asking Delta for that your next flight.

5. Concierge

Need a rental car when you land? Want to get picked up in a limo? Want to make sure there's a "Sponge Bob Square Pants" DVD on the plane for your kid? Just ask the concierge desk from the private jet supplier you're using. The service available when flying private makes the frequent flier lounges at most airports seem like a second rate bar.
