Chartering a Private Plane vs. Flying First Class

Are you looking to travel in luxury and style? While flying first class on a commercial airline might seem like the obvious choice at first, chartering a private plane may be the best way to get where you need to go. There are many benefits that come with chartering a private plane, making it a better option than flying first class on a commercial airline.

Convenience

When it comes to convenience, nothing beats chartering a private plane. You will be able to plan your own schedule and choose the aircraft that you want. With all of the options available, you can find an aircraft that is more aligned with your desired budget and meets all of your needs or preferences. You will also be able to select the airport or landing strip closest to your destination. This eliminates time spent traveling from the airport to your final destination and allows you to get there faster. Furthermore, with a private jet charter, you often save a considerable amount of time overall. Arriving at the airport and boarding, for instance, is a much faster and simplified process when flying private.

Cost-effectiveness

When it comes down to cost-effectiveness, charters can sometimes be superior to flying first class in commercial airplanes. Some commercial flights, depending on the type of jet, the airline, and distance traveled, can run into the tens of thousands for a first class ticket. Depending on your preferences for a charter flight, you may be able to fly on your own plane for the same cost as a first-class ticket, or even for a lot less in other cases. Enrolling in an exclusive program, like our Jet Membership program, can help you save even more money on private flights by paying wholesale rates that don’t roll in undisclosed commissions. 

Privacy

Privacy is another major advantage when chartering a private plane. You won’t have to share airspace with other passengers or deal with long security lines at airports—it’s just you and any companions aboard your aircraft. Additionally, flying private means you have access to exclusive services, including concierge assistance or catering for passengers on-board, which provides a superior experience compared to the experience that first-class passengers on commercial airlines experience.

Considerably more space

First class seating will certainly provide more space compared to coach seating, but it is nothing compared to flying private. After all, when you fly private, you have the entire plane to yourself. Each passenger on a private plane has the benefit of a comfortable seating area with plenty of legroom, as well as ample storage space for any luggage or personal items. In addition to being spacious, private jets come with modern convenience features, such as power outlets, Wi-Fi access and multimedia entertainment systems. Passengers can relax and make the most of their journey without having to worry about overcrowding or feeling cramped in tight quarters.

Safety

Safety should also be taken into consideration when choosing between first class air travel and a private jet charter. Reputable private aviation companies, such as Luxury Aircraft Solutions, always make safety a number one priority. Some of the many reasons that flying private is safer than flying commercial, regardless of whether you’re flying first class or coach, include:

Smaller passenger lists. Aside from a small crew, you’ll know the people on board with you. This can provide a sense of familiarity and comfort.

Enhanced cleaning measures. Many private aircraft operators have implemented enhanced cleaning measures to ensure the safety of their passengers. This may include the use of hospital-grade disinfectants and the frequent cleaning of high-touch areas, such as armrests and tray tables.

Fewer layovers and shorter routes. Private flights have the advantage of being able to fly directly to their destination, rather than making multiple stops along the way. This means that you can avoid the risk of exposure to potentially contagious individuals at layover airports, as well as reduce the overall duration of your travel.

Increased control over your environment. When flying private, you have more control over your travel experience, including the ability to choose the people you travel with and the level of social distancing you are comfortable with. This can provide an added layer of safety and peace of mind during times of increased concern about viruses and contagions.

The clear choice

All things considered, it’s clear why flying private offers incomparable advantages over conventional airliners, even when flying first class: unrivaled convenience and flexibility, combined with enhanced privacy and unparalleled safety assurance, make this mode of transport the ideal choice for those seeking the ultimate travel experience.
