There are several different ways to travel through the air. The most common is commercial airlines. The next best way is through a private jet or private flight. Having the option of being able to fly to any airport that you want at any times takes stress off of traveling. You don't have to worry about others and who you will be on the plane with. You can easily rest and travel in peace. Many private flights and jets also have their own kitchen, bar, and seats tailored to you the person that is flying. Traveling in a private craft or private flight also give you the opportunity to be a little more flexible as far as the times you leave and arrive. So keeping in mind that you can literally fly at any time as long as you have a pilot makes it easier to fly, you just have to get a private craft first.

There is an overwhelming number of private jets on the market today. Most people who fly private jets do not own their jet, but charter their ride. However, before looking into chartering a ride, a person needs to know what their options are. There are four main styles: executive piston and turboprop, light executive jets, midsized executive jets, and heavy jets.

Piston and turboprop jets are great for small groups traveling on business. They are not recommended for people traveling farther distances and are some of smaller jets on the market. Light executive jets permit privacy and are a step up from the piston and turboprop. The interiors are still nice but they are not going to be the highest overall quality. When traveling in large groups you are going to need the midsized executive jet or the larger heavy jets. Both of these are very luxurious and have the space for large parties. These jets will provide for longer traveling distances to your destination airport compared to the smaller versions.

Having a private jet aircraft was once reserved for oil barrens, business moguls and rock and roll bands. A private jet is costly, it requires continuing maintenance, pilot salaries are high and federal hoops are in place to jump through concerning airworthiness and safety regulations. For individuals and even many corporations, the cost of buying and maintaining a private jet is out of reach and not cost effective. A viable alternative may be private jet charters.

Many people love having their own private jet but simply hate the cost of storing them. Some people are finding new and innovative ways to make money on their jets while they are not using them. Due to the advent of “enhanced pat downs” and “x-ray imaging” in airports, more people are starting to look into hiring planes. They want to avoid the hassle of dealing with the lines and violation of personal space. An owner could offer services over online classified ads to find “customers”. Another option is to sell advertising space on the side of your plane to businesses. Either way you are having space on your plane leased out. Brainstorm different ways that you can rent out your plane and you will be surprised how fast you will see those expenses lower!

Regrettably, due to these different plane alterations, there has been an increase in air costs and checked baggage fees. Commercial airlines are trying to assist flyers with these prices, by charging a one time yearly charge that will cover additional baggage on each flight, rather than buyers paying for extras at the moment of travel. Consumer protection people have petitioned that airlines are made to more speedily tell travelers concerning flight delays and cancellations. Airline ticket seller can no longer market costs that are not the complete. Advertising for one-way tickets has to be more specifically said. So, there are online services that tell people when there is a good bargain on flights and are offering innovative ways to track special fares. A lot of people watch dog air fare sites, are competing for consumer members. Nearly all of these travel sites offer some type of fare alert service, by e-mail notification, i.e., Twitter alerts, Blackberry apps. In this method, buyers can currently choose the routes they would like to watch and how they wish to be alerted.

Private jets are great resources for many large businesses. They can use them in many ways. It could enable them to fly into very small communities that a larger plane might not be able to do. They do not have to wait for a commercial flight. They pick their own schedule, and what country they will fly into. Many businesses like the idea of owning their own craft, but do not need a jet full time. It is possible to buy into an ownership plan where the business acquires a share of the plane. They share it with other owners. They can sell their part at any time. They can use the plane for up to one hundred hours of flight time. They pay an additional monthly fee. It is much like a time share. This is the perfect situation for some businesses.
