The Private Jet Experience: What to expect as a first-timer

Header image

First-class used to be the epitome of luxury travel but private jets take the experience to soaring new heights. Excited about flying privately for the first time but not quite sure what to expect? In this article we’ll guide you through each step of the process, from door step to destination.

Traveling to the airport in style

When traveling by private jet, you can expect the highest level of comfort and convenience. Right from your door step! Our premium shuttle service will pick you up and drop you off, ensuring a timely and hassle-free arrival at the airport. 

A delightful airport experience 

No invasive security checks or long lines at immigration. When traveling privately, you’ll often enter through a private terminal. The processes are much more streamlined and you’ll generally be able to board within 15 minutes of arriving at the airport. Did you know that for certain flights with less formalities, e.g. Antwerp-Ibiza, it might even be possible to show up 2 minutes in advance, board a minute later and take off in the next minute?

If you do have a few minutes to spare, you’ll while away at an opulent airport lounge, indulging in delicious refreshments. Once it’s time for boarding, the crew will personally come to welcome you and guide you on-board your private jet. You’ll be free to bring all your personal items or special luggage as you won’t have to contend with commercial baggage restrictions.

You’ll still (sometimes) need to pass through document checks.

Unwind on cloud nine 

When you think private jet, a modern, spacious cabin comes to mind with plush high-quality recliners. But you gain so much more than ample leg room! Enjoy all sorts of customizable in-flight amenities like complimentary broadband Wi-Fi, in-flight entertainment curated to your taste or delectable gourmet dishes. 

Taking care of loved ones & furry friends

Did you know that on private jets, your pets are allowed to travel with you in the cabin rather than in the cargo hold? As an integral part of the family, they deserve the same attention and consideration as your other loved ones. Traveling with small children? Our friendly flight reps will take excellent care of both your furry friends and your younger family members.

After touchdown

Your arrival will be just as smooth as your departure, with fewer airport formalities and frequently also direct access to private terminals. Your time is valuable and the whole process is made to expedite so you can be on your way to your final destination.

A superior stay 

You’ve effortlessly made your way through the airport and your private driver is awaiting your arrival. But the experience doesn’t end there! Were you aware that many private jet brokers, like Jetters, provide a post-flight service that includes booking handpicked deluxe accommodation? We’ve partnered up with a wide range of lavish hotels and resorts to ensure your stay is as luxurious as your flight.

The stellar service you’ll want to experience again and again

For a long time, a first-class ticket put you right in the lap of luxury with bespoke boarding and adept cabin attendants at your beck and call. But over the years, the glamor of first-class has dwindled and its prestige surpassed by the private travel experience. 

Private brokers shine by providing an all-encompassing service which starts from the comfort of your own home and continues long after you’ve landed. Whatever your wishes, from gourmet meals to a premium ticket for your furry companions, private jet companies can accommodate your request. Another thing we can guarantee: once you’ve had a taste of private flying, you’ll want to do it all over again!
