Corporate Jet Charter

By Jackie Lee

Are you planning a business trip or a corporate event? If your destination is located more than two or three hours away from your residence, you may be looking to fly. After all, air travel is a relatively safe, easy, and convenient way to get to your destination. When it comes to air travel, many travelers automatically think of commercial airlines, but did you know that you also have another option? That option involves a corporate jet charter.

If your company does not have a corporate jet, and you find yourself flying commercial a lot you might want to make a case for a corporate jet charter. A case can be made for the economic feasibility of such a decision. There are, of course, pros and cons, all of which need to be researched before a final decision is made.

If your company is still flying you commercial you might want to do some research. Although the basic commercial airline ticket may be cheaper, you need to look at the fees you incur for flying first class or business, as well as on short notice. You may fly during the week which can also increase your fares. Of course the additional fees for baggage, and shortly going to the bathroom add up fast. You may find a corporate jet charter ends up being almost the same price, especially when you factor in the ease of use, time saved, and being able to get work done while traveling.

Privacy is one thing you don't get on a commercial flight. An executive or upper management position commands a high salary. Why would you waste hours of the time you are paying for to get nothing done on a commercial jet. With a corporate jet charter you can spend the entire flight working, or in a meeting. It is private, and no one will interfere with the work getting done. If you have a long journey much work can be accomplished while in the air.

In addition to the cost, a large number of businesses choose to book reservations for a commercial airline because it is something that they are familiar with; it is something that is easy to do. Whether you are traveling domestically or internationally, there is a good chance that you would be familiar with the commercial airlines that you could do business with. This comfort factor is what prompts many to fly commercially. Knowing the general background of a commercial airline, like Delta Airlines or United Airlines, is very comforting to many travelers; it tends to offer them security and peace of mind. When it comes to the chartering of a private jet, most jet chartering companies are relatively small and sometimes even unheard of.

You may not know of a corporate jet charter service off the top of your head. Don't worry, I bet there is someone you know who does. Asking around other business contacts will let you know who has first hand knowledge of how to charter a corporate jet. They will be able to send you in the right direction, and let you know the pros and cons of companies in your area. A personal recommendation should make the process a little more comfortable.

Booking a corporate jet charter is a big decision, and one only you and your company can make. Just remember, when you are making this decision to factor in all of the variables involved in air travel. This includes the price of the ticket, but also the other features and benefits you gain by flying privately. These features may tip the scale and make it quite worth the expense.
