PRIVATEFLY OFFERS A LUXURIOUS ALTERNATIVE TO SCHEDULED AIRLINES FOR JUST A FEW EXTRA POUNDS

Ladies who are seeking a special treat - perhaps for a special birthday or luxurious hen party - may be surprised to hear that chartering their own aircraft and
receiving VIP treatment from start to finish, can cost just a few pounds more than flying a scheduled airline and booking separate transfers, according to online private jet booking network, PrivateFly.com.

The company recently arranged a daytrip to Paris for a group of eight girlfriends celebrating the 30th birthday of London-based identical twins, Emily and Louise. It included VIP treatment with limousine transfers to and from the airport, complimentary champagne on board, deluxe catering and complete privacy, at a cost of £512.50 per person, just £85.001 more than if they had flown with a scheduled airline and booked a limousine separately. It also meant that the girls got to spend an additional five hours in Paris without any of the usual hassle at the airport, arriving just ten minutes before take-off.

Adam Twidell, founder and director of PrivateFly, added: "Many people believe that private aviation is a luxury afforded only by the very wealthy. But when you consider the additional extra charges on board some scheduled airlines, not to mention the hassle at the airport, private charter can be a very viable option, saving a huge amount of time and stress.

"Private aviation should be viewed as an integral and enjoyable part of the travelling experience - your holiday should start the minute you leave the house, with no queuing at the airport, no rushing in the hope of getting the seat you want, and no need to worry about whether the aircraft will run out of food on board. A number of our clients use PrivateFly for special occasions, celebrations, holidays and travelling to sporting events."

With PrivateFly, you can compare private jet prices 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 price estimates for any global trip, not to mention personal VIP handling from start to finish. Those flying can arrive at the airport just a few minutes before take-off, enjoy VIP treatment and of course, catering is included in the price, all of which ensures an enjoyable and stress free experience.

SAVINGS WITH PRIVATEFLY:

  • A supplement of only £87.50 per head gives them a VIP charter experience and at least 5 more hours in Paris - based on the same timings to depart and arrive at home.
  • Comparison based on lowest available fares for scheduled British Airways flights (business class). Aircraft chartered with PrivateFly was a King Air.
  • Time in the air - the girls travelled as a group, with complimentary Champagne on board, VIP catering and complete privacy.
  • Hassle-free, no stress. Girls drove to the foot of the aircraft at Fairoaks and were met directly after stepping off the aircraft at Paris Le Bourget (which is a dedicated private jet airport) for their Limo transfer.
  • Flexibility - if the passengers had wished to depart earlier, or leave later, the private aircraft would wait or could depart early, based on their needs. (They could actually have had several hours longer in Paris if they wished).
