Five Tips To Charter a Private Jet In Just 10 minutes

Switch to: EN Português (PT) Español (ES)

On the runway at the airport closest to your home, a private jet and the pilot await you and your guests. At the stipulated time, the aircraft takes off to the destination you set yourself. It may seem like a scene taken from a movie, but the fact is that, with today’s technologies, renting a private jet is a closer reality than one might think.

As simple as calling a driver on Uber and as safe as hiring an air taxi charter, renting a private jet by cell phone application is now common practice through platforms like Flapper.

However, to take full advantage of the agility that this service can offer you, it is ideal to have some important points at the tip of the pencil before going into the details of the operation you intend to hire.

Below, we list 5 tips for renting a private jet in just 10 minutes.

Route

When renting a jet, several details of the operation are in the hands of the contractor. Departure and arrival airports are, of course, two important points for starting research. Here, the customer can go beyond “conventional airports”, those operated by commercial aviation. The ideal is to know which track (or city) is closest to the final destination.

It is worth remembering that characteristics such as the length of the runway and the type of terrain can be determining factors in choosing the aircraft in operation.

Jet models

It is not just the type of runway used that will tell you which aircraft you will fly on. The distance between destinations and the number of passengers transported also counts.

The autonomy of a jet can vary from 1,500 kilometers, in small models, to 13,000 kilometers, in intercontinental models. There are also medium and large aircraft that operate within this margin.

The number of seats thus ends up also having its weight. The agile Embraer Phenom 100, for example, carries up to 5 passengers. The intercontinental Bombardier Global 6000, in turn, can take 13 people.

It is possible to expand the capacity of an aircraft with a Certified Lav Seat, which is nothing more than the bathroom seat. The extra passenger flies in a regular seat, padded and safe, but with less comfort than their peers, who will fly without access to the toilet.

Mod cons

It is also possible to personalize your trip. There are those who need a flight and nothing else, but there are also those who seek extra comforts. In this sense, a private jet operation can be improved in several ways, such as hiring a wifi package, flight attendant, food, answering service or choosing a hangar. There is always a way to improve a flight experience and the meeting between the customer’s needs and the estimated budget will determine the direction of the negotiation.

Budget

Evidently the costs involved in renting a private jet are not low, when compared to other forms of travel. The operating companies have high fixed costs and this makes the amounts difficult to negotiate. Still, the total cost can vary a lot.

Whether the distance traveled, the aircraft used or the amenities contracted, the values ​​may go up. Therefore, it is essential that customers know exactly what the budget for this trip is and work within this stipulated margin.

Payment methods

In general, there are two ways to pay to rent a private jet: through TEDs or by credit card. ‘Available Electronic Transfer’ (TED) is the most common practice on the market, however, on smaller charters, the use of credit cards has been well accepted.
