Charter Plane - Fly in Style
67To charter a plane may feel like a privilege, and it is, but it can also be a necessity. Some people feel extremely uncomfortable flying with a bunch of strangers and a private plane charter would seem like the perfect solution. In fact, in the past decade the demand for a charter airplane has grown exponentially. The charter plane industry has enjoyed some serious growth, both in revenue and in training pilots and crew.
I know must of us think that chartering a jet is way out of our price range, but really there are plenty of options when it comes to reserving a charter jet. There are many companies online that offer immediate price quotes, just like if you were looking to book a ticket for a regular airline company. For instance you could fly a in a private jet from Detroit to Orlando during peak season for approximately $13,000 round trip. That is just one option from one company in a lightweight jet.
Charter Plane Perks
Charter planes and the companies that offer air charter services are very serious about safety audits, pilot and crew training, quality ratings from customers and the industry and giving their customers the most comprehensive and up to date information. Each of these points are considered perks because nowhere else in this industry can you find such easily accessible information. A commercial jet company will not as easily offer up all the information regarding the crafts safety checks and regulations or the pilots record and experience. Sure you could find it if you looked long and hard enough, but these charter airplane companies are ready to provide you with that information immediately and without hesitation.
Not to mention the privacy and luxury of flying in a chartered private plane...you should expect the best of the best and you get it. Don't forget, you are paying for the privilege and you should be catered to!
The Flexibility of Plane Charters
The commercial air industry is fighting tooth and nail to keep its first class paying customers, especially in the current economic climate, but it is fast becoming apparent that the private jet industry is easing into the place of the commercial industry.
The charter plane offers the greatest flexibility, your choice of jets for the best rates all while providing top of the line luxury air travel. Today private charter planes are able to offer more choices than a commercial airline, especially when it comes to flight times and food! In fact, you can even save money if you planned on flying your whole family first class, by chartering a plane instead.
By chartering a plane, you are able to plan your trip according to your own convenience. There is no reason to follow any strict commercial airline schedule. Most private charter plane companies offer around the clock support that will be happy to make your arrangements at your convenience. They also offer a wide range of jets in their fleets, so finding just the right one for your needs will not be an issue. You could call, get your quote, and be on the plane in the next few hours if need be.
Most jet charter companies will also offer fractional ownership which can save you an even greater amount of money if you plan on using a charter plane often.

Very informative, I hadn't ever thought about getting a group of friends together to charter a plane. Thanks.
Ooooooooooh this sounds like fun! I love flying!
How interesting that you chose this topic. I was in this business for 14 years and wrote three Hubs about it recently. Your article is very well researched and written.
Great post, it is definitly my dream to one day be able to rent a private jet when ever I want.
Very nice post...don't you find it interesting that private jet companies are more than willing to show you the ARG/US report on the jet and pilot you will be flying, versus commercial airlines expecting you to fly with absolutely no knowledge of the captains?
@outdoorguy38
Yes I do find it interesting and a bit disturbing that commercial airlines are not as open as charters.
