Private jets – is it worth traveling this way?

Private jets This is an increasingly common form of exclusive travel. Many clients decide to charter a private jet because it means... an ocean of endless possibilities and a flight without unnecessary disruptions and problems. If you want to get to the place where you plan to spend an unforgettable holiday quickly and in comfortable conditions, it is definitely worth considering this option. For those who have not had the opportunity to use it yet, we present the most important issues below.

Private jet rental - why is it worth traveling this way?

Nowadays, more and more people decide to rent a private plane for their own needs. It doesn't matter whether your trip is last minute to a conference on the other side of the world, or you are planning a family vacation to some exotic place - as your travel organizers we are ready for every eventuality. The direction of travel and the number of stops along the way are not important. Private jet flights are characterized by complete... independence and flexibility. When chartering a jet, many of our clients take into account, above all, time - and, as we know, time is money. Time saving This is a key issue in private jet travel, and anyone who has ever traveled this way will agree. When flying on a private jet, you are able to "buy yourself" even a dozen to several dozen hours compared to a regular flight with regular airlines.

You decide the take-off time, where you want to land, who you take with you and what you want to find on board the plane. To make it in time, you don't have to be at the airport 2 hours earlier. Half an hour without unnecessary rush is definitely enough. Moreover, it is possible to maneuver up to 24 hours before the planned flight.

Turbo helicopters – as a way to cover shorter distances

If you are going on a shorter trip than overseas, or even if your destination is less than several thousand kilometers, it is worth using the services of propellers, i.e. turboprop aircraft. These are smaller machines than standard jets, intended to cover shorter distances. Propeller It is powered by a turboprop engine, while jets use a turbojet engine. Turboprop aircraft are characterized primarily by more favorable prices compared to business jets, which is also due to much lower fuel consumption during the flight. In addition, in the case of turboprop flights, where conditions permit, it is possible to land even on the outskirts of the city be in the field. They can also be landed on unpaved runways.

Private jets - flight directions

It is obvious that this involves higher costs than in the case of scheduled flights, but this has already been mentioned flexibility plays a key role here. Commercial lines We can't fly everywhere without transfers, and even if they do, they will often be low-cost lines. These, in turn, often do not suit many VIP passengers due to the quality of the machine and the service standards on board. Which directions? not served by standard nonstop airlines are, for example: Kalamata, Mykonos, Santorini, Corsica, Courchevel, St. Moritz, Sardinia, Tivat, Madeira, Tenerife, Bodrum, Ibiza and Majorca. Private jets allow you to choose the airport you want to fly from and return to.

Private jet rental price

The price of renting a private jet depends on the direction of your trip, flight time, flight date, specific amenities and the type of aircraft. The newer the model, the more exclusive the brand and the better the cruising performance, the higher the price will be. The cost also depends on the number of passengers. Private jets and turboprops they can take on board from a few to a dozen people. You should know that with a larger number of passengers, the price per person is comparable to an average business class ticket. When planning a trip with family or friends, it is definitely worth keeping this in mind.

Each private jet and turboprop has a different type of amenities, equipment, engine power and class. They also differ in year of production, manufacturer and mileage. This is exactly how cars differ from each other. In the economic classification, with a good price-quality ratio, for example, the Bombardier Learjet 60 XR, the most recommended among basic turbojets, or the Cessna Citation 680 Sovereign - an exceptionally comfortable and safe jet for transcontinental travel. However, if you want the highest quality and luxury, Bombardier Challenger 650 comes to the rescue - one of the most exclusive jets in the world. The light passenger aircraft market is not left behind. Examples of the best turboprops include: Cessna 421 Golden Eagle, Pilatus PC12 and Beechcraft King Air C90 GTX.

Getting down to specifics, an example one-way flight from Warsaw to Geneva on a mid-class jet starts with about 8 thousand euros. Please remember, however, that each flight is priced individually, taking into account many components. Often (but not always!) prices include VIP check-in, private limousine transfers and on-board catering. OWhen organizing your flight, we fully adapt to your requirements  This, of course, applies to selected amenities, for example a meal from your favorite restaurant, your favorite vintage of selected champagne or an airplane deck smelling of the latest Dior.

Technical issues

We assume that many of you are wondering about the performance of private jets. The ceiling at which they fly is no different from that of standard commercial aircraft. The same applies to speed. It happens that on board a private jet you will reach your destination earlier than assumed in the scheduled flight program.

Companies that offer private plane rentals operate on the same principle in the case of transcontinental travel basing jet. This means that after traveling outside Europe, the plane is waiting for you throughout your stay in a given place. In the case of European trips, the aircraft returns to base for further scheduled flights. There is also an interesting issue here, the so-called empty legsSystem empty legs is that operators who are not profitable to return to the base "empty" offer a flight to the base place, often for a very low rate, up to 70% cheaper than on offer. empty legs is becoming an increasingly fashionable way to travel, thanks to which you can save a lot of time. After you arrive at your destination and the plane is based, the pilot, at a previously agreed date, returns to pick you up and takes you safely home. Taking into account the maximum range of the machine, the aircraft is selected to avoid unnecessary refueling stops.

First - safety

Private jets and turboprops are subject to the same safety standards as commercial aircraft. It's safe to say that the companies that service them decide to follow even higher standards than recommended. The important factor is the fact that private jet fleets tend to be younger than those used for scheduled flights. This means that they are already ahead in the safety classification in the pre-heats.

Also, it's worth mentioning that rented planes and turboprops are operated by two experienced pilotswho have thousands of flying hours under their belt. On jets, at least one stewardess will also take care of passengers.

The highest travel comfort

Flying on private jets is even more comfortable than first class commercial flights. Registration and security procedures are kept to a minimum, and a waiting time on the tarmac is... zero. It is worth knowing that most often we can take the transfer car right to the plane. After boarding, the crew closes the doors of your plane and take-off takes place within the next few minutes.

Private jet seats are incredibly comfortable, almost always made of leather, and they often recline into a lying position. Remember, however, that if you plan to take a nap, do not assume that your plane will have reclining seats. Ask for a jet with seats that recline at least 154 degrees or offers beds. Also keep in mind that it is possible to rent a jet with two toilets and a shower, as well as a seating area, for example for playing poker.

It is worth knowing that by chartering a private plane you will avoid contact with other passengers. It is usually dedicated to private jets and turboprops separate terminal and fast track passage. The price also includes check-in and luggage care, including collection.

Luggage during a private plane flight – requirements

In a private jet you can transport almost anything, including all kinds of liquids - from champagne, through water bottles, to perfumes. Artwork, confidential documents and heavy sports equipment are also okay. We can also fly with our pets without any problem, as long as the flights take place within Poland.
