Think First Class Is the Best Way to Fly? Think Again.
If you’re used to flying commercial — even in first or business class — you may think you’ve already experienced the best air travel has to offer.
But here’s the truth:
Flying private isn’t just a luxury upgrade — it’s an entirely different travel experience.
At Teterboro Airport (TEB), New York’s most exclusive private aviation hub, we help travelers ditch the chaos of JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark — and discover what they’ve been missing for years.
You’re Still Sharing Everything in First Class
Even in premium cabins, you’re still:
-
Walking through crowded terminals
-
Waiting in TSA lines
-
Boarding in groups or zones
-
Delayed by other passengers
-
Hoping your bag fits overhead
With private jet travel, the experience is completely different:
-
Arrive just 15–30 minutes before departure
-
Walk into a private terminal (FBO)
-
Board directly from the lounge
-
Take off on your schedule
-
No crowds, announcements, or baggage stress
Your Time Is Wasted Before You Even Board
Flying Commercial:
-
Arrive 2 hours early
-
Wait in check-in and TSA lines
-
Navigate terminals
-
Wait again at the gate, taxi, then take off
Flying Private:
-
Show up minutes before departure
-
Skip all lines
-
Be airborne faster than your car ride to the airport
First Class Isn’t Actually Private
Private jet charter provides:
-
Complete cabin privacy
-
Full control over environment
-
Quiet space for business or rest
-
Personalized in-flight dining
-
Room to stretch, sleep, or meet
Commercial flights simply can’t offer:
-
Confidential conversations
-
Peace and quiet
-
Immediate boarding-to-takeoff
-
Personalized service for kids, pets, or dietary needs
The Cost Isn’t as High as You Might Think
Let’s compare a round-trip flight from NYC to Miami:
|
Travel Type |
Cost per Person |
Total Cost (6 pax) |
|---|---|---|
|
Commercial First Class |
~$800 |
~$4,800 |
|
Private Jet (Midsize) |
~$3,500–$4,500 |
$21,000–$27,000 |
|
Private Jet (Empty Leg) |
~$2,000–$3,000 |
$12,000–$18,000 |
Split between a group of 6, the cost difference shrinks dramatically — especially when you consider time saved, comfort, and flexibility.
The Control and Customization Are Next-Level
With private jet travel, you control every detail:
-
Choose your departure airport (Teterboro, HPN, ISP, etc.)
-
Choose your departure time
-
Choose your aircraft
-
Choose your passengers
Want to fly with your pet? Kids? Champagne and cake?
We’ll make it happen.
When Does Flying Private Make the Most Sense?

-

-
Avoiding overnight/red-eye flights
-

-
When you’re simply done with airport stress
