How to Travel on a Private Jet

   
A private jet is not unreachable for the masses like it might have been in the old days. There are so many options and plans available that it might be more arduous researching the planes than it is to get one. More companies have come online, marketing to the traveler who does not want to be subject to the waits and delays or a normal flight. If you make a six-figure income, then a private jet may be in the making.
Instructions

    Where to Begin With Private Jets

  1. Step 1
    Do some research. Not all companies are alike, so you should do some research to find out about them. A rule might be to use a company that has been in business for more than five years to rule out the fly-by-night companies. You want to look at their history, their fleet and their programs.
  2. Step 2
    Get quotes on Virgin Charter. They save you time from having to go to all the different companies if this is a one-time deal. The companies compete for your business and send you quotes, then you can choose the one that fits your needs. They also offer hot deals (one-way), but the flights are already designated, so you would have to be at the location on the day they said and going to the place they want to go.
  3. Step 3
    Have money to deposit. Most programs require you have $100,000 up front. It generally goes toward your future flights and services.
  4. Step 4
    Check the fine print before you sign. If you had to make a deposit, what is it doing for you? Some companies put it in escrow, so you earn interest. How many hours or days ahead do you have to plan? Some jet programs require up to 10 days advance notice, that is not good if you have an emergency.
  5. Step 5
    Decide on ownership versus membership. This is the big thing now with everyone selling pieces of a jet. Think of it as time-share for a jet. You are paying for it, but you may only be able to use it so many days or hours a year. With true ownership, which means the whole jet is yours, it is good if you know you will be using it a lot and can afford the maintenance, flight crew and fuel. Think of Donald Trump or Richard Branson if you can afford that option.

    6. Buying the membership

  6. Step 1
    Contact at least five companies, including OneSky, NetJets, Amsair (Luxury and Business focused), Marquis Jets (Warren Buffet owned).
  7. Step 2
    Compare membership plans. Some have programs that start with 25 hours of flight time. The 25-hour program with Marquis runs $126,900 plus fees. They require at least 10 hours notice. You can go anywhere in the U.S or Europe. Marquis competes with Jets, while OneSky competes with Marquise. The difference is in the age of the fleet, crew experience, availability and fees. Generally, you get a card (prepaid) that will tell you what kind of plane and how many hours you have available. You should know that a basic flight can run around $25,000.
  8. Step 3
    Pick a jet. Some programs allow you to pick the type of jet that you want to be flown in. Of course, some memberships dictate what kind you get.
  9. Step 4
    See the plane. A couple of the programs have tours that are available at an airport. Call the places to see if that is the case

Plan Your Travel Time - Avoid Travel Delays With a Jet Aircraft Charter
