When is the Best Time to Book a Private Jet?

The Best Time to Book a Private Jet There is technically no best time to book a private jet, though there are some recommendations that aircharter has for you. Lets separate trips into small (1-18 passenger trips) and large (45 or higher). Smaller non-commercial aircraft are quick to be ready and the logistics can be taken care of in a matter of hours. While commercial sized trips may take a day or two to handle the passengers lists, catering options, ground transportation etc. The recommended time to book for a small trip is preferably at least one day before, this allows aircharter to sort through every possible aircraft that can accomplish your charter and offer you the best at the lowest cost. Smaller trips with 2-6 hour notice are generally more expensive, as there would not be enough time to locate every aircraft, and the best option in such a short timeframe would be the verified available option. These of course are recommendations, aircharter is capable of finding aircraft instantly, you can call while at an airport and we will find you the closest available aircraft for your charter. For larger scale charters, the recommendation is at least a week beforehand, charters of this scale usually involve much more logistics, in order to sort out every passengers needs, we need time. Though, with as little as 48 hour notice, we can arrange a charter for a trip of any scale on an airliner, anywhere from one to 300 passengers. There is one exception to this rule, for high traffic time of the year such as christmas and thanksgiving, it it always better to charter as far in advance as possible, this allows us to find

Last Minute Charters for the Fifa World Cup

Last Minute Charters for the Fifa World Cup Last Minute Charters for the Fifa World Cup are available from aircharter.com. Very soon, the top soccer teams from all continents will play in Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup! If you’re interested in attending, this would be the best time to book your charter to travel to Brazil in order to witness and be part of such historical event. Most of the commercial airliners are almost fully booked for such flights. Furthermore, air traffic in Brazil might just be super high causing lack of flight to games’ destination, resulting in obligations to take ground transportation which won’t be as comfortable and convenient as air travel. Jessie Parker, Operations Manager at aircharter stated: “AirCharter.com has been taking orders and inquiries for charter flights to, and within, Brazil for quite a while now. The competition will have 64 matches in 12 different cities, all over the country. With distances of up to 3,000 Kilometers to travel, ground or even coach traveling wouldn’t be the most pleasant experience. Chartering a plane is often the most convenient and pleasing way to travel from one game to another. Over the past few World Cups we have arranged numerous amounts of flights for fans, sponsors and teams and expect to have more in the very near future” With us, you can travel from your home country or city to any city in Brazil on a chartered jet and get there feeling rested, relaxed and ready to enjoy the culture, food and sport of Brazil.

Private Jet Timeshare

What is private jet timeshare? Private Jet timeshares are very similar to what is known as vacation timeshare properties, except that jet timeshares have to be established at what is called an “Aircraft Operator Company”. Owning a private jet requires maintenance, FAA registrations, crew & airport logistics, and many more accountabilities. While it may appear as if a Private Jet Timeshare affords supreme convenience, the reality is very much different. The issue lies in how often you use the private jet. There are many advantages to chartering a Private Jet versus timeshare ownership. Chartering a private jet is more cost-effective if you are in need of occasional charter services every year since timesharing encompasses many hidden costs that one wouldn’t expect or know about. Aircraft maintenance, logistics, operations, crew, and expenses are not something that an executive would want to have to deal with. It is definitely a full time job to maintain and operate an aircraft, so hiring an operator to handle your aircraft is a necessity. With Private Jet Timeshares, you are responsible to pay 1/16th of the price a private jet (which will run you approximately $468,000.00). This allows you unlimited access to any aircraft on the fleet of an operator with only a 10h notice. Realistically, do you need to spend that much money on private jets if you only use them occasionally? The answer is no. An average client that charters domestic 4 times/ year for 10 years will end up paying ¼ or of the cost of Private Jet timeshares making them the least cost-effective solution. Conclusion, Private Timeshares are not the best solution unless you very frequently charter private jets.
