The bags are packed and while it is business this time vacation travel is still possible in the coming year. Commercial flights are fine for many events, but there are some that demand a closer scrutiny to ensure that flight problems do not upset critical plans. Regardless the reason if you must be somewhere faster and perhaps closer than regular airline travel get a private jet charter.
I do not need an entire plane so why a charter?
Although the general description of a charter is for an entire airplane as opposed to a seat there are services and brokers that book seats. In many cases it may be an advantage as far as available seating and destination.
This time it is just a vacation not business or an emergency.
Still there is an advantage in accommodations and desired ambiance for your trip. Charter service can offer better seating and amenities than you may not find on commercial flights. Vacations do not mean travel on a shoe string if you want to have a better travel experience going and returning home. You pick the destination the company will provide you with the airplane best suited for your travel requirements.
Smaller aircraft make less sense than a larger commercial airliner.
Not every jumbo jet can land in many smaller towns and air fields. Charters open up a new way to get closer to your end destination. Rerouting or dropping down from major flights to prop planes or helicopters to get you to your destination can often be avoided.
What about private or commercial property being transported?
Many companies can arrange for additional security in the form of body guards or chauffeured limousines to and from the flight. For many celebrities or business executives that may be the target of potential criminal assaults the barrier around them is enhanced by a private jet charter. Even the low risk traveler might prefer a car service to get them to a remote airfield where the flights will depart and return.
I have concerns about security, personnel and maintenance records of the flights I would travel on.
All charter flights fall under federal requirements and guidelines for aviation travel. Condition, maintenance records, load capacity, emission standards and all variations of specifications for aircraft worthiness for travel. All pilots must be certified to fly commercial jets before they can fly for charter. Long lines at major airline terminals can be mitigated and the limits or availability of security personnel is not an issue for private flights. Further enhancements are knowledge of fellow passengers when traveling in a group. As with any business arrangement records can be made available to address concerns or need for further information.
