Frequently asked questions

In the event that you book a flight with Jet-VIP, we’ll contact you to confirm your flight.

In order to get started, you’ll need to sign and return the contract we offer you along with any
catering orders, as well as email us the passport information for each of the guests.

Most major airports feature private jet terminals or FBOs (Fixed Based Operators) where private jet
customers check in for their flights. Many airports allow private jet customers to bypass airport
security and get directly to their planes. You could expect to board your plane in under five minutes
after arriving at the private jet station. However, if your flight is delayed or you arrive early, the FBOs
usually provide exclusive executive lounges where you may rest or work.

Jet-VIP provides private jet charter, which implies renting the entire plane. Whether you’re flying
solo or with a full plane, the cost of chartering the aircraft remains the same. The only difference in
price is the addition of airport passenger tax to the booking fee. Passenger tax restrictions vary from
nation to nation, and this will be discussed in detail throughout the quotation process.

With every flight quotation, you’ll receive a picture of the plane you’ll be flying on.

All private jet trips must adhere to customs and immigration regulations. Prior to take-off, most
private jet customers are unaware of any pre-flight inspections. There are specialist customs and
immigration officers at major airports for private jets. There are few Customs and Immigration
officers to be seen at smaller airports, but they are always aware of your trip and may occasionally
make a special visit.

Chartered flights are usually on-demand and the complete itinerary is created exclusively for you,
making it tough to cancel the flight at short notices and can incur fees. However, if extenuating
circumstances arise and your travel plans change, please get in touch with our team ASAP for
support and assistance.

Please arrive at the airport 30 minutes before to your flight’s scheduled departure time. There are
several airports that can cut this time to 15 minutes.

Faster planes can fly faster than slower planes, depending on the type of plane. Citation X (ten) is the
world’s fastest civilian aircraft, however numerous smaller jets, notably the VLJ (Very Light Jet)
family, have a lower maximum flight speed than airliners. On the ground, the time savings of flying
privately are evident. Private jet travel is far faster than travelling on a scheduled airline since there
are no check-in delays, no difficulties waiting for luggage, and no delays clearing customs. Private
jets will be allowed to take much more short cuts than scheduled airlines on extended trips thanks
to Air Traffic Control (ATC). Due to the higher rate of climb of private jets, they are capable of flying
higher altitudes than commercial airlines.

With proper documentation, you can fly with your dog or cat in the cabin. When flying with pets,
some nations have stricter rules than others. If you have any questions regarding taking your pet on
a trip, you may reach via phone or email for the most up-to-date information.

Adding more passengers to a private jet trip at the last minute is a common occurrence. Although it’s
best to verify with us first to avoid unwanted embarrassment or delays for your company.

Customers must go through pre-clearance for some places (like Russia). For smaller runways, there
may be a limit on the number of people that may be accommodated owing to the aircraft’s landing
and take-off weight limits.

When flying by private aircraft, you may be exempt from presenting your passport if your
destination and country allow it. However, we always encourage that our guests fly with a passport,
even when flying domestically inside their own nation.

Private jets may carry a limited quantity of luggage depending on the size of the plane and the
number of passengers. The typical baggage allowance for a small jet is one suitcase per passenger
seat plus cabin luggage. Larger planes, like the Gulfstream, can accommodate up to 20 large luggage
in the baggage hold.

If you need to modify your departure schedule, it’s normally not a problem with private aviation.
Our team appreciates advance notification so that we can get fresh slots with ATC and the airport to
accommodate your schedule.

An on-demand charter flight is a plane that you rent for a specific flight at a certain time. Everything
is under your control. The size, age, and price range of your aircraft are all factors to consider. Once
the aircraft is cleared and paid for, you and your guests will be able to fly as desired. In order to keep
our pricing low, we’ve negotiated favourable rates with the airlines depending on the number of
flights they do each year.

If you can, try to fly into the nearest airport to where you live or work to cut down on travel time.
Passengers of private jets are not constrained to the same airports as scheduled airlines; therefore
they may often fly to airports that are far closer to their final destination. An airport locator can help
you locate the nearest private airport.

This is exactly what it sounds like: an empty leg that has been diverted from its planned path in
order to pick up or drop off travellers. Suppose, for instance, that a flight from New York to Paris has
an empty leg booked, and you want to go from New York to London at the cheapest possible price?
For your convenience, we have arranged for the flight to land in London first and then continue on
to its final stop. Because the cost of the modified empty legs has already been paid in part,
substantial discounts are still achievable. Depending on the modifications (distance, duration) and
the size of the aircraft, these discounts can range from 10% to 50% off the usual chartered flight
charge.

Flight distance, number of passengers, runway lengths, worldwide location, and your budget all play
a role in determining which aircraft is most suited for your journey. If you’d like to learn more about
the types of aircraft available for your private trip, please get in touch with our representative.

Guests on board will have access to on-board catering that is appropriate for the time of day. For
compact cabin planes, pre-prepared buffet-style choices are the most common. All flights will come
with a fully stocked bar and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. Catering and hot meals can be
produced and served on board bigger cabin airplanes with galley facilities. Catering demands can
always be met if they are possible.

Paying for the use of someone else’s aircraft when they are not in use is a form of private jet charter.
One-time charter agreements with no financial commitments are common.

Buying and operating a plane on a fractional basis means splitting the total cost with other people.

The fixed expenditures (such as aircraft purchase and depreciation, pilot pay, aircraft maintenance
and insurance) are paid for by the owner, hence renting a private jet is sometimes referred to as
“subsidized flying.”

When you use a charter plane, you simply pay for the cost of the fuel, airport taxes, and any other
incidentals.

As most private jet hubs have agreements with catering firms or neighbouring restaurants and
hotels, special catering orders can almost always be fulfilled.

You will be accompanied to and from the aircraft by the pilot and a representative of the handling
agency at the airports of departure and arrival (or FBO). If you need help arranging ground
transportation to or from the airport, just let our team know.

Private plane check-in areas can be found at the majority of airports. Specialized handling agents
typically provide these services (often called FBOs). When you arrive at the airport, we will provide
you with complete instructions on how to get there, and your plane captain will be ready for you
outside.

Due to the original passenger’s purchase of a seat on the empty leg, the fixed cost of the flight is
already covered. Because of this, the owner may provide cheap flights to others on the same
aircraft. Empty leg discounts can range from 40% to 70% compared to ordinary charter flights.
