5 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE CHARTERING A PRIVATE JET

As more and more individuals enjoy the benefits that accompany private aviation, many others want to see the advantages for themselves. Similarly, there are those who are already familiar with private flying but are looking for options to enhance their travels. Chartering a private jet offers a great way to test the waters of private aviation or supplement your current jet usage throughout the year.

While one’s reasoning for chartering a private jet may differ, all private flyers share an appreciation for elevating their air travel. After all, a discerning traveler deserves an experience to match. That’s why at FXAIR we specialize in The Air Above Ordinary – delivering custom, premium on-demand charter services that exceed every expectation.

Like with any travel plan, there are integral details to organize before chartering a private plane. Our aviation professionals leave no element of the trip untended and always go the extra mile to ensure your journey is seamless, enjoyable and an experience you will want time and time again. Asking these questions will help determine what exactly your expectations are for the journey, as well as signal to the FXAIR Client Services team what details need to be arranged.

1. Why Do I Want to Charter a Private Jet?


Personal and professional travelers alike love to reap the benefits of an on-demand charter. Whether it is the control and comfort they crave or exclusive access to luxury, private jet charters with FXAIR grant them premium experiences no matter the trip.

Oftentimes business travelers are working against a very stringent deadline for a meeting, or they even need to make multiple stops in one day – a timeline that can only be executed with an on-demand plane. Then there are those who hold time with their loved ones in the highest regard and know the best memories can come from the journey as well as the destination.

Whether one is looking for an introduction to the world of private aviation or to supplement a current share/ownership, FXAIR brings the premium quality of fractional ownership to the flexibility of an on-demand charter.

2. Where am I going and when do I want to get there?


Another enticing aspect of private jet charter is having maximum influence over your travel itinerary. You are even granted access to more airports throughout the world, often bringing you closer to your destination. With unmatched industry expertise, our team will determine the most optimal route, schedule and departure/arrival airports to build the framework for your trip.

For example, if you have an appointment at 9 AM in New York City and then 4 PM in Dallas, our team will work diligently to help you arrive on time and in style.

3. How many people are traveling with me?


Whether you are flying with a party of one or planning fun for the whole family, determining passenger count helps you know what type of aircraft you need, informs catering plans and tells the team what type of ground transportation you could potentially need for your trip.

4. What are my expectations for the entire experience?


Determine if there are any specific amenities, enhancements or accommodations you would like to see on your flight. Perhaps you are taking an overnight flight overseas and want to request an aircraft that offers lay-flat beds for a comfortable sleep during your travels. Maybe you are celebrating a special anniversary and request a bottle of your favorite champagne waiting onboard or embarking on an adventure and want to begin your cultural exploration early with some local fares. On the other hand, you may be working throughout your flight and need access to reliable Wi-Fi.

Whatever your vision, our team can ensure it is executed flawlessly.

5. How important is a personal relationship with your charter provider?


Oftentimes, the term charter is associated with a transactional, sterile experience. At FXAIR, charter means premium, white-glove service throughout the entirety of your journey. If you are looking for that extra note of elegance, service and communication, your Private Aviation Advisor will deliver as your personal liaison with the FXAIR Client Services team to assist you with all your charter needs. We believe that the difference is in the details, which means our team works to ensure your charter is more than a charter: it is the pinnacle of private aviation.

These five questions are a great start to your private jet charter journey, getting you that much closer to where you want to be. As the only premium provider of on-demand charter, FXAIR delivers an in-air experience unlike any other offering in the industry. We understand the importance of flexibility and versatility but do not believe that means sacrificing luxury. Every trip is completely tailored to your unique needs and complemented by a dedicated team working around the clock to deliver the service and standards you deserve.
