A quick overview of everything you need to know before booking your first private flight.

Welcome to the World of Elevated Travel

Luxury private jet travel isn’t just about avoiding lines and skipping TSA — it’s about transforming the way you experience the world. From unmatched flexibility to curated in-flight experiences, this guide covers everything you need to know before you book.

  • What to expect before, during, and after your flight
  • How to select the right aircraft for your trip
  • Why travelers—from CEOs to families—are making the switch

What Sets Private Travel Apart

It’s not just first-class—it’s your class. When you charter a private jet, everything is built around you: your schedule, your comfort, and your expectations.

“When you fly private, you’re not adapting to an airline. The airline adapts to you.”

1. Choose the Jet That Fits Your Lifestyle

Not all aircraft are created equal. Some jets offer full lie-flat beds and lounge-style cabins, while others are optimized for short hops with fewer passengers. Whether you’re flying solo, with a team, or with family, here’s what to consider:

  • Light Jets: Best for short-distance trips (up to 4 passengers)
  • Midsize Jets: Great for coast-to-coast travel (up to 7 passengers)
  • Heavy Jets: Ideal for international flights or large groups

2. Customize the In-Flight Experience

Everything from meals to media can be tailored to your preferences. Want sushi from Nobu mid-flight? Champagne on takeoff? Or your favorite Spotify playlist queued up? All possible.

Luxury options often include:

  • Private catering from top-tier chefs
  • Personalized playlists or business tools
  • Flatbeds, conference tables, even showers on ultra-long-range jets

3. Skip the Airport Chaos

Private jet passengers typically fly out of FBOs (Fixed Base Operators), which are private terminals. This means:

  • Arrive just 15–20 minutes before departure
  • Park steps from your jet
  • No TSA lines, crowds, or gate changes

4. Privacy, Security, and Discretion

One of the greatest advantages of private travel is complete privacy—especially for high-profile clients. Whether you’re a business exec traveling to a confidential meeting or a family seeking peace, the security level is unmatched.

  • No shared cabin
  • Your manifest stays private
  • Luggage goes directly with you—no handling risk

5. Maximize Your Time in the Air

Business flyers gain back hours in productivity. Families arrive relaxed instead of jet-lagged. Even short flights become valuable when you’re not wasting time.

“On a commercial flight, you lose hours. On a private jet, you gain them.”

6. What It Really Costs (and How to Get the Best Rate)

Private jets are more accessible than ever. You can book per trip, purchase jet cards, or even split costs with others through group charters. Prices vary based on:

  • Aircraft type
  • Distance
  • Time of year
  • Special requests or customizations
