How to Book a Private Jet Charter: Step-by-Step

Booking a private jet is simpler than most people expect. Here's exactly how the process works, from first enquiry to wheels-up.

Step 1: Submit Your Trip Details

Start by providing your basic trip requirements:

• Departure and arrival cities (or specific airports if preferred)
• Date and time (including any flexibility)
• Number of passengers
• One-way or round-trip
• Any special requirements (pets, extra luggage, catering preferences)

You can submit a quote request online, call us, or message via WhatsApp. There's no commitment at this stage.

Step 2: Receive Aircraft Options

Within 1–4 hours (often faster), you'll receive a selection of aircraft options tailored to your route:

• Aircraft type and specifications (seats, range, cabin size)
• All-inclusive pricing (no hidden fees)
• Departure airport options with drive times
• Photos and amenity details

We typically present 2–4 options across different categories so you can choose the best fit for your budget and preferences.

Step 3: Confirm Your Charter

Once you've chosen your preferred option:

• Lock in the aircraft with a booking confirmation
• Review the charter agreement (standard terms, cancellation policy)
• Payment — typically via bank transfer or credit card

For regular clients, we offer account-based billing and streamlined repeat bookings.

Step 4: Pre-Flight Details

Before your flight, we'll coordinate:

• Passenger names and passport details (for customs/immigration)
• Catering preferences (from light snacks to full gourmet meals)
• Ground transportation (if needed)
• FBO and terminal information (where to arrive, parking details)

You'll receive a detailed itinerary with all logistics 24–48 hours before departure.

Step 5: Board and Fly

On the day of your flight:

• Arrive 15–20 minutes before departure (not 2 hours like commercial)
• Drive directly to the aircraft at the private terminal (FBO)
• No queues, no security lines in most cases
• Your luggage goes straight from car to plane

The crew will greet you, confirm your route and any preferences, and you're airborne within minutes of arrival.

What About Customs and Immigration?

For international flights:

• Within the Schengen Area (most of continental Europe): No passport control needed
• UK, Switzerland, non-Schengen: Customs and immigration are handled at the private terminal, usually taking 5–10 minutes
• Long-haul international: We coordinate all documentation and clearances in advance
