You might have looked longingly at the rich and famous flying private jets as you sit in a busy airport trying to entertain your family for hours on end. You might think that charter flights are just for celebrities. But they aren’t. Many families are choosing to fly charter, taking the chance to enjoy all of these benefits.

You’ll Be Able to Customize Your Travel Itinerary
When you hire a charter jet, you get more options. You don’t have to fly at set times or arrive at the airport hours before your flight. Nor do you have to tackle lengthy stopovers or too fast swaps that means you are running through the airport to make your connection. You can customize your itinerary so that your travel plans suit your family.
It’ll be Easier to Keep the Kids Happy

Traveling with kids is tough. We long for these vacations, a chance to chill out and rest, and an opportunity to spend some quality time with our families. Delighting in watching our children explore the world, enjoying a great big adventure. But, the reality is often quite different, and it starts at the airport. They can’t handle waiting in line for security. They whine and become frustrated; it’s all the worse because they are so excited. Then, when you get on the plane you are tasked with keeping them occupied for hours in a confined space. Of course, it’s not over when you land. There’s more waiting, the terror of lost luggage and probably even more traveling. You can arrive at your destination stressed out, angry, tired, and doubting your decision to take a trip at all.
Fly charter, and it’s about a million times easier to keep your kids happy. There’s less waiting around, usually, access to lounges at the airport. More space on the plane, more choices of entertainment, or just more room to take your own. It’s just easier to keep them happy and entertained for the duration of your trip. This means that you arrive already enjoying your break, and eager to get your holiday started.
You’ll Have Greater Destination Choices
When you look at package deals and holidays online, you are tasked with matching somewhere that you want to visit, with flights that are available from your nearest airport, or another that you can get to easily. Airlines fly to set destinations from set airports. This means that despite all that the world has to offer, your options are relatively limited, especially if you are tied to specific dates.
When you hire a private jet, you can fly to almost anywhere that has an airport. Suddenly, the world opens up and your choice of destinations is huge.
Increased Comfort
If there’s one thing that we complain about when it comes to flying, it’s comfort. Even more luxury planes aren’t exactly comfortable when you’ve got a limited amount of space, and airports have never been comfortable. Fly charter, get airport luxury lounge access, and your whole trip will be much more spacious and comfortable. The kids will be able to stretch out and nap, they can run around more easily to burn off some energy, and you’ll be able to stretch your legs.
The Airport Will Be Less Stressful
Airports are stressful when everything goes well. But how about when it doesn’t? When you’ve accidentally left a liquid in your hand luggage, and you get stopped at security when the queues are that long that you struggle to board on time when there’s nowhere to eat because it’s just too busy and on the other end when your luggage fails to appear on the carousel? This is when that stress turns into an absolute nightmare. Hire a private jet, and the risks of anything going wrong are vastly reduced.
It’s Easy to Arrange
You might think that all of these arrangements will be difficult to make. You want to fly from a specific airport at a certain time. You want access to a lounge and assistance at the airport. You might have exact plans for a layover, again with prices timings. Working all of this out flying with a commercial airline would be impossible. Arranging a charter flight is, however, much easier than you might imagine.
And Perfect for Fussy Eaters
Another massive benefit for families with young children is the onboard meals. On a standard flight, you eat what you are given, or not at all. Food in the airport might also be vastly limited, and you might worry that your children won’t have a meal that they’ll enjoy for a long time. Hire a charter flight, and you’ll have more options. You might have the chance to make specific meal requests, and it will be much easier to feed fussy eaters on board.
Flying Private Allows You To Minimize Onward Travel
When we plan holidays, we think about the length of the flight. That’s our journey time. But, that’s nowhere near true. Even if you’ve got a four-hour flight, you might have two hours traveling to the airport, 2 hours hanging around at the airport, another hour passing security, and collecting luggage on the other end. Then, hours and hours on a stuffy hot coach or bus filled with other tired, frustrated, and let’s face it, slightly smell passengers trying to make it to your final destination. Suddenly even a relatively short flight has taken all day.
Flying private doesn’t just mean that you can fly from closer to home; it also means that you can fly to the nearest airport to your destination. Even if this is still quite far away, they might offer to help you to arrange easy and convenient transfers.
You’ll Avoid Annoying (or Annoyed) Passengers
Other passengers are often the worst thing about public transport. They might be annoying. Your kids might annoy them. Fly charter, and you get to decide who (if anyone) you fly with.
You Can’t Miss the Flight
You are the passenger. The flight couldn’t possibly leave without you. If you are very late, you might have to rearrange flight times to suit air traffic. But you couldn’t miss your plane.
There’ll Be Fewer Luggage Restrictions
Fly public, and there are tons of luggage restrictions. Huge lists of what you can and can’t take, what bag it needs to be in, and strict weight restrictions. This can be especially difficult when you are flying with young children who have a lot of needs. Flying charter means far fewer restrictions and more possibilities for your luggage.
