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".
