Tired of the long lines at airports, annoying security and worse, the passenger next to you who wont’s stop jib jabbing about, who cares what!? Private jet travel would seem like a far off dream to most Americans, but dream no longer.
In the not so distant past, private jet travel was a complicated process. Then came fractional private jet ownership, bringing you the ease of owning, without the high and for most of us, prohibitive costs.
Now private jet companies are making it even easier for charter flight travelers by providing on-demand flights, without pre-paying for hours or fractional jet ownership.
Then the private jet card memberships where created and all of a sudden the sky was a buzz with 10,000 private jets.The simple concept let;s you prepay for a set number of hours and as you use up the hours, the money is deducted from your initial deposit.
Several companies are making the process even easier by collecting bids from jet operators and even providing limousine service and food catering as well as back ground checks of pilots.
When you fly often you being to notice that all the private jets are not the same and you need a pilot who knows the “equipment†or jet he’s operating.
A one time charter is still more expensive than most first class tickets, but it is still affordable to CEO’s and trust fund who may want to live lavishly a few times a year.
On average a one way flight from New York to Florida cost $8,000 to $20,000 for a 6 passenger jet depending on weather and how busy the market is, weekend or weekday are also factors.
