What is the difference between a private jet and a commercial terminal?

Private jet travelers use a separate facility called an FBO rather than the main commercial terminal. Luxury Aircraft Solutions arranges departures through these private terminals, where there are no public security lines and you can arrive minutes before your flight.

When you fly private you do not pass through the main commercial terminal. Instead you use a fixed-base operator, or FBO, which is a separate private terminal dedicated to general aviation. The experience is fundamentally different from commercial travel.

At an FBO there are no long public security lines, no crowded gates, and no early arrival requirements measured in hours. You typically arrive a short time before departure, walk a short distance to the aircraft, and board directly. Your bags go with you rather than through a public baggage system.

Luxury Aircraft Solutions coordinates the FBO experience as part of every charter, including ground transportation arrangements where needed. You can learn more about how the company operates at luxuryaircraftsolutions.com.
