You are a well-known public figure, and you want to decompress from your hectic professional life by escaping to Buenos Aires for the weekend. You want to avoid all the attendant publicity your comings-and-goings attracts. You are also fed up with the hassles of long rides to the airport, the risk of missing a flight due to traffic congestion, and the “cabby’s” inevitable complaints about your last movie, your last album, or the controversial stand you took on a hotly contested political issue. The security checks at the airports have become insufferable, and despite the fact you always travel First Class, the service offered up by the flight attendants is always questionable.

What Is It?
Conceptually, chartering a jet’s little different from renting a car for a quick weekend getaway. You choose the make, model, and size of your rental. You consider its speed, handling, plus the number of passengers and baggage you’re taking along, not to mention the costs of gas and insurance. But when chartering a jet, in addition to getting your own personal Airbus, Boeing, Cessna, or Gulfstream, you also get the airplane’s experienced and first-class pilots, meticulous crew, and peripatetic ground support. Chartering a jet allows you to perfectly synchronize your demanding business and travel schedules. Jet charters tend to be more efficient than traveling on commercial airlines, your time in the air is spent more productively, and if you’re flying more than 350 hours a year, the financial benefits are more tangible as well.

Who Needs It?
Famous movie actors, touring rock stars, New York investment bankers, and South American dictators typically charter jets, but in a today’s hyper-accelerated business climate, any busy working professional pressed for time will discover customized air travel to be supremely pragmatic. Say, you’re a hot, young advertising phenom, and a London-based brokerage hopes to hear your take on a campaign they are commissioning – but within forty-eight hours. Without skipping a beat, it makes perfect sense to load your entire creative team aboard a Citation X, and forge your winning pitch while flying across the Atlantic full-throttle. Time is far too valuable to squander in noisy airport bars, anxiously awaiting interminably delayed flights, while contemplating the disastrous prospects of a canceled business meeting or the loss of untold millions. Moreover, unlike commercial airlines, private jets fly in and out of smaller suburban airports that are often closer to your planned departure and destination points. Smaller airports mean no long lines of planes tediously awaiting permission to take off, or airplanes being “stacked” in circular flight patterns above busy urban hubs, when air-controllers can’t handle an unexpected overflow of inbound traffic.
Benefits
The benefits to chartering a jet are speed, efficiency, and accommodations above and beyond First Class.
The normal cruising speed of most light jets is 475 mph with a range of 3 to 5 hours. Typically, these light jets accommodate between five and eight passengers, and set you back, say, between $2,000 and $2,600 per hour. If you are not on a tight budget, and relish speed, then charter a heavy jet, like the Dassault Falcon 2000 DX. This aircraft will board between nine and eighteen of your colleagues transport them wherever you wish at a brisk 540 mph, with a non-stop range of over 5,100 nautical miles. With a high-tech gallery of computers, phones, faxes, plus plenty of extra room for your bags, skis, and golf clubs, not to mention an HD entertainment system – the $5,000 to $9,000 per hour feels like a total steal.
If you want to charter a mid-sized jet, the stylish Citation X is as good as it gets. The aircraft’s roomy cabin offers a double club configuration of 8 comfortable captain’s chairs. There’s a posh galley and a lavatory that inspires singing. The baggage compartment is 72 cubic feet, pressurized, and heated. The jet’s range is as good or better than any aircraft in its class. With the Citation X’s record-breaking .92 mach top speed, no worries, you won’t be late. In the most important category – safety – the Citation X has one of the best records in aviation.
Risks
There are minimal safety risks chartering a jet as long as the jet charter operators you choose possess proper FAA Air Taxi Certification – known as a Part 135 Certificate. There are some charter companies, in more far-flung regions of the world, who might fly under Part 91 – or, “owner flown” – regulations. These rules have far less FAA oversight, and for this reason, passenger liability is increased.
Also, as far as insurance is concerned, most jet charter operators offer the passenger to be named as “additionally insured” on the policy. This option is for the privileged passengers circumnavigating the globe at top speed on a constant basis.
