Are you preparing for your first private jet charter? You’re probably wondering what to expect when you fly private, and rest assured, it’s an experience you’re guaranteed to remember. When you think about private jets you probably imagine ultra-wealthy celebrities jetting from one glamorous location to the next, but the reality is that many people charter private jets up and down the east coast, or for a quick weekend getaway, due to the convenience and the ease. 

Flying private for the first time? What to expect

Shorter wait times and fast arrivals: There’s no need to arrive at the airport two hours early when you fly private, so you won’t be hanging around the terminal with nothing to do. Many airports allow you to drive right up to your aircraft, making the whole process seamless and quick. 

The ultimate on-board comfort: When flying private you’ll enjoy wide, plush leather seats that recline nearly all the way, plenty of legroom, and catered meals and drinks. One huge complaint people have about flying commercial is being squeezed into the tiny seats for long periods of time, but with a private jet charter that’s never an issue. 

Set your own schedule: Did you know that you can choose your own departure time when you fly private? This is one of the many things that makes private jet charters convenient. You can also choose your departure airport, and many people prefer to use executive airports like Monmouth Jet Center that get them closer to their final destination. 

How do I choose the right private jet company?

Before deciding on a private jet company, ask to see their safety certifications and accreditations. Ensure the pilot is accredited by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and any other state and local licensing boards. The company you choose should also have an Air Carrier Certificate, meaning they are authorized to lease private jets to the public.
