Charter A Private Jet - 4 Top Tips For You To Consider

By Duncan Roberts

Ever since the shocking events of 9/11, flying has become harder. Security has been tightened, queues are longer and so many more controls have been added that travel is more fraught. Makes compelling reasons to learn more about chartering a private jet, don't you think?

If you are a CEO, executive, or business traveller that's been using commercial airlines I don't need to tell you what a hassle that's become since 911. Never mind what you can't bring along, and then there is all the wasted time before boarding. And then trying to get some work done on the laptop can be touch and go due to confidentiality issues and a snoopy person in the seat beside you. It's enough to make you decide to not go.

It would be great if you just work at your home, making telephone calls to run the business. But in the real world - that doesn't work. You need to be in front of your current and future clients in order to conduct business properly. Successful corporations know this which is why they accept the cost of chartering a private jet, reckoning that the benefits outweigh any costs.

There are four main reasons to do just that - speed - security - convenience - comfort.

With a private jet charter, you can determine which type of aircraft you charter, allowing for all aspects of your needs to be suitably met. Need good speed? Go for a medium body jet that cruises at a respectable 500 - 600 miles per hour. Add that to the amount of time you save passing through the airport and you could be knocking hours of your travel time.

Security is actually tighter for a private jet plane with everyone having to be screened but that also means you don't have to worry about security risks. This is incredibly helpful if you are a politician or a foreign dignitary, or a powerful executive that could be targeted. And the good news is that these are very realistic security checks. No worrying about the nail file with more concern for real threats.

Because you have a 'private' check in area and control process dedicated to just you, you save time from the minute you start booking in. You and your bags get checked and them, onto the plane. Now that's a real time saver!

So, once you have punished yourself through the rigours of such exhausting security arrangements - you can look forward to the comfort of being on a private plane. Room to move, to stretch and choose the seat you want. Whip out your work and get stuck in, free from the worry of disturbance of those around you. Hungry? Ask your attendant to rustle you up something. Need a trip to the toilet? No queue to worry about here - just do as you want, when you want. Pure luxury.

You'll probably be happily surprised at how low the cost of private jet chartering actually is compared to what you imagine it would be. It is, without a doubt, the best way to travel and something you should review seriously as a sensible alternative. - 15485
