PRIVATEFLY OPENS A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR FREQUENT FLIERS

Online private jet booking network offers flexible hassle free option

Frequent fliers who are frustrated with scheduled flights or the elevated costs and inflexibility of private jet 'card schemes ' may be surprised to hear that chartering their own aircraft using online price comparison through PrivateFly.com could save both time, hassle and money.

Scheduled flights bring with them the added pressures of wasting valuable time at the airport, and checking baggage in and out. Other private jet options such as fractional ownership or hourly card schemes involve upfront costs or ongoing financial commitment - neither of which is desirable for many in today's economic climate. For today 's time-starved traveller, private charter 's hassle-free and seamless nature could be a much more feasible option-allowing you to choose the best aircraft at the lowest cost for every flight.

Adam Twidell,founder and director of PrivateFly, comments: "Our online system is completely flexible, with access to over 2700 private jet operators and a combined global fleet of more than 7000 aircraft, so those booking flights have full transparency, comparing all available aircraft and costs.

"By chartering their own private jet, passengers can rest assured that they can arrive for the flight at a time to suit them, avoid any airport queues, enjoy seamless ground transfers - and receive exceptional, personalised customer service. Charter offers the most cost-effective and flexible means of travelling by private jet, at significantly less per hour compared with the costly commitment that fractional ownership or hourly card schemes entail".

With PrivateFly, you can compare and book online, just as easily as with scheduled airlines. The whole experience is arranged on the clients terms, through its easy and comprehensive online booking system which offers instant and accurate price estimates for any global trip, not to mention personal VIP handling from start to finish.

PrivateFly is an online private jet booking network backed up by an expert offline customer service team who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is the only online booking network of its kind in Europe, offering access to over 2700 private jet operators, with a combined global fleet of more than 7000 aircraft.

The online platform allows clients to view quotes from relevant operators, giving them ultimate flexibility and a highly competitive rate. Clients can either book their chosen flight online or speak to one of the expert team who can make all the arrangements over the phone or by email, ensuring a quick, easy and transparent service.
