Have you ever thought about chartering a private jet? If you have, then I should ask if you have ever done so before. If this is your very first time chartering a private jet, you might not be aware of the fact that you might have the ability and opportunity to choose your jet.
Many private jet chartering businesses have fleets of various types of jets, and it is a standard practice for them to let their customers choose the type of jet they want to charter. While this might sound good on the surface, there are some circumstances where it might be more of a hassle and trouble than what it is worth.
This is exactly why you are encouraged to look at both the advantages and disadvantages of selecting your private jet charter.
The largest very obvious benefit of choosing your private jet charter is that you will get exactly what you want to get, assuming that particular aircraft is part of the company’s fleet. You will of course want to choose the type of jet that is appropriate for what you want to use it for. Jets come in a wide variety of sizes with different capabilities.
Some jets are designed to accept a larger number of passengers, such as a group or organization that is chartering a private jet for a trip. Selecting your private jet will ensure that you have enough room to accommodate all of your passengers, as well as the work that you need to accomplish during the flight.
An additional benefit or advantage to choosing which private jet you want to charter is your ultimate satisfaction. One of the most common reasons why people choose to charter private jets is because they want a personalized, private flight.
Many of those who charter a private jet are fed up with the hassles and discomforts of commercial airline travel. For many, chartering a private jet is enough to create satisfaction, but why not take it a step further? Choosing your private jet will virtually ensure that you have a good flight and good traveling experience, because you chose the jet yourself.
Although there are quite some benefits or advantages to selecting your private charter jet, there are also several disadvantages. One of those disadvantages is the cost. There are a limited number of private jet chartering companies that charge an extra fee to handpick the private jet of your choice.
While this fee is generally small, it is still enough to be noticed. It is also important to realize that many private jet chartering companies charge more money for their very popular or highly requested jets. If you want to select a jet that is quite popular, you might find it a little bit more expensive to charter that particular aircraft.
You must also be aware of another possible disadvantage in choosing which private jet to charter, and that is its availability. If the dates for your travel are flexible, this may not even become an issue since you would then have the flexibility to schedule your trip around the jet’s availability.
But if your travel dates are not flexible, you may need to compromise by having some flexibility in the type of jet you wish to charter. It is for this reason that you are usually much further ahead to deal with one of the larger jet chartering companies since they usually have bigger fleets which will help to ensure (although not guarantee) the availability of the charter jet you want.
Another item on the side of advantages is that the hassle of travel through commercial airports is virtually eliminated. There are still security checks, but you are not standing in line to get through security behind 150 families with 10 kids each.
Depending on where you need to travel, there is also another huge advantage that should be mentioned, which is that a private jet charter can frequently go into airports that are closer to your clients and not served by commercial airlines. This aspect in itself could potentially shave days off expensive hotel nights because of the convenience of a local airport, although keep in mind that this depends on the airport and the size and type of charter jet you select.
