How to charter a private jet: a step-by-step guide

You enter where from, where to, the date and the number of passengers. Your request goes to licensed charter companies with a suitable aircraft, and they send quotes. You compare and choose one. The company confirms the flight and you pay it directly.

1. Set your route and date

Entering the departure and destination cities is enough. The companies know which airport suits the trip. If your dates are flexible, say so. Flexible dates mean more options and a better chance of catching a jet returning empty (an empty leg).

2. Add passengers and baggage

The number of passengers and the baggage decide the aircraft size. If you have a golf bag, skis or many large suitcases, add a note. That way aircraft that cannot take your baggage are ruled out from the start.

3. Wait for the quotes

Your request goes to companies with a suitable aircraft at the same time. The quotes are listed by price on a page of your own. Each quote shows the aircraft model, capacity, baggage and how long the quote is valid.

4. Choose a quote

You choose the one that suits you. Choosing does not commit you: nothing is final until the company confirms availability and price.

5. Confirmation and payment

When the company confirms, you see its legal name, address, country, operating licence and contact details before you pay. The company sends its terms and payment link in its own name, and you pay it directly.

6. Flight day

Departure is usually from the airport’s private flight terminal. The company tells you at confirmation how early to be there.
