The first ride on a private jet? Here is what you need to know

With private jet traffic becoming more accessible to the general mass of people with subscription-based and over-the-counter on-demand air transport - not to speak of private jet operators providing jet-like charter facilities - many passengers are considering switching from business to business. As more and more private planes fly into the sky for the first moment, it is important for travellers to know what to look forward to in a private aircraft and how to do it.

If you charter a private jet, you can usually travel to the plane to lightly carry your baggage and your snowboard, with your vehicle either left or stocked until you comeback. Mr. Wilson explained that many planes have baggage limitations due to the trunk doors dimensions or are subject to weights limitations depending on how many passengers or how much gas is needed for the air.

Wilson says most small aircraft go in about seven roll-aboard cases, much like the hand luggage of a regular carrier. When there is only one flyer, there won't be a problem, but when you have a whole group, it can become one. It is not necessary to take your own liquor on a private jet as it is lawful to take your own on the plane.

Talking of wines, Andrew Collins, Sentient Jet Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, advised passengers to imagine an airline jet invite as an invite to a dining event - which means it's great to be bringing a present, such as a glass of fine red wine, as a thank you. An advantage of private flight is that you do not have to maintain a TSA safety line or comply with fluid limits.

It'?s polite to tip your aviator. The difference between a passenger and a private jet is many. Tarascio says many jet planes don't make as much as you think, not to speak of loading your pockets, cleaning your aircraft and spending a lot of your precious spare tire trying to plan all facets of your trip.

You have a variable sailing schedule. Whilst you shouldn't be changing your flight schedule if you don't have to - after all, your airline drivers will be expecting you at the airports - you can usually modify it if problems arise. Mr Tárascio explained that many airlines start to prepare the plane one extra hour so that you can often depart earlier.

However, note that while private flights are more agile at departures dates than corporate flights, some carriers have an auto cancel rule if you're over an hours behind schedule, while others agree to wait a few long ours, so check your conditions to be sure. Yes, most private aircraft can be chartered on the same date, but this does not ensure that you get the jet you want.

XOJET's Danielle Talbott, XOJET's Regional VP of Operations, says that while her customers can make bookings within 12 working hours of their preferred flight times, giving the business more working space with more choices of planes is an important part of the overall customer satisfaction process. Although there is no official clothing policy for private flights, Collins recommends that you represent your hosts in a certain way as a visitor and wear appropriate clothing.
