Private Jet Rentals
You can arrange to rent a private jet, similar to renting a car. However, since the cost of renting a truly “private” jet – meaning just for yourself – can cost many thousands of dollars per each hour of flight time; this option is not affordable for most people.
The way flying on a private jet becomes affordable is through sharing, where many different parties share the cost and thus make it affordable. This used to be only available by chartering a jet for a designated group. But if you are flying yourself, this doesn’t help.
With today’s high demand for private jet travel, more innovative and realistic ways were created to allow people to use a private jet, in a way similar to buying a ticket for a seat on a commercial airline.
Private Jet Ride Sharing Apps, Brokers and Clubs
Many private jets make flights with empty seats. These empty seats can be turned into extra revenue for the jet’s operator by selling ‘tickets’ to fill them with paying passengers. You can find out about these empty seats through ‘jet brokers’ and even online apps. The brokers and apps will let you know what planes have empty seats, their destinations and flight schedules. If you find an appropriate opening, you can buy the seat for that trip, just like buying a commercial airline ticket. Very often, the cost will be no more than a business-class seat and many times less.
There are also organized private jet clubs, that utilize a small fleet of private jets. The members of these clubs get first crack at the available seats and usually for a discount.
How To Get A Bargain Flying On a Private Jet
There are actually some ways to get a bargain flight on a private jet – meaning your ‘ticket’ will cost less than a regular airline one:
– “Empty Leg” flights: Sometimes a private jet is chartered for a one way flight and will have to return to their base empty. By informing brokers and apps of these situations, you can find out about them. These seats are often sold for below a commercial flight ticket.
– Last Minute Flights: This happens when scheduled passengers on a private jet cancel or don’t show up. There are special apps and groups that specialize in this and you can get a ticket usually for a real bargain price. Of course, you have to be ready to fly on very short notice.
