Today (July 10, 2020):\u00a0<\/strong>Difference between Private Jet charter and First Class flights.<\/h5>\n

Most of Europe is out of lockdown and in a few weeks, open\u00a0travel for business or pleasure<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will\u00a0be an option once again. However, no matter how much we wish the situation was completely back to normal,\u00a0<\/span>it isn\u2019t and this year will be different. So it\u2019s important to consider your travel plans i<\/span>n a new light and in order to help you make up your mind, here are the<\/span>\u00a0a<\/span>dvantages and disadvantages of flying by private jet or First Class.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Money matters<\/span><\/h5>\n

Both\u00a0options\u00a0require\u00a0a\u00a0considerable\u00a0amount\u00a0of\u00a0money\u00a0allocated\u00a0from\u00a0your\u00a0travel\u00a0budget\u00a0but\u00a0\u00a0if you can afford it or your business resources will stretch that far consider the following.\u00a0<\/span>Private charter jet pricing starts<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0just\u00a0over\u00a0\u20ac10,000\u00a0for\u00a06\u00a0passengers\u00a0to\u00a0fly\u00a0to\u00a0Nice,\u00a0while\u00a0a<\/span> First Class flight starts at \u20ac4,000 for 6 passengers. Actually, you can\u2019t fly from London to Nice First Class<\/span>, the only option, in this case, is to fly Business Class.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking into consideration the fact First Class travel is not available for short trips around Europe, p<\/span>rivate\u00a0jet\u00a0charter\u00a0seems\u00a0to\u00a0be\u00a0the\u00a0only\u00a0option\u00a0if\u00a0you\u00a0want\u00a0to\u00a0travel\u00a0with\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0luxury<\/span>\u00a0of First Class but with the added advantage that comes with a private hire jet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at longer flights, London to New York travel starts in First Class at \u20ac20,000 for six<\/span>\u00a0people including return tickets. Private charter jet costs start in the region of\u00a0\u00a0\u20ac68,000 one way but<\/span>\u00a0you can take between 10-17 passengers on this larger aircraft making the cost of<\/span>\u00a0flying\u00a0at\u00a0capacity\u00a0\u00a0\u20ac4,000\u00a0each.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Private Charter Jet versus First Class: the experience<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

First Class flyers have access to exclusive airport lounges but these are often shared with Business Class travellers, yet the gap in cost between first class and business is c<\/span>onsiderable, that is not reflected in the use of the services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This consideration aside the First Class lounge will include a nap room, comfy seating and l<\/span>uxurious shopping some even include a spa and massage service.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In\u00a0contrast,\u00a0private\u00a0jet\u00a0passengers\u00a0are\u00a0treated\u00a0to\u00a0a\u00a0concierge\u00a0service,\u00a0they\u00a0will\u00a0deal\u00a0with\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0luggage and drive you to the plane just before take-off if you are in a hurry. However, if you\u00a0<\/span>have time to spend make use of the luxury fixed based operators (FBO) that offer an extra<\/span>\u00a0special service. As time goes on the FBO experience becomes more extravagant. Luxury to i<\/span>nclude beautiful lounges, multimedia conference rooms, fully fitted with Wi-Fi and<\/span>\u00a0audio-visual\u00a0equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not\u00a0to\u00a0mention\u00a0showers\u00a0should\u00a0you\u00a0need\u00a0it\u00a0and\u00a0nap\u00a0rooms,\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0longer\u00a0stay\u00a0use\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0on-site hotels and onward car or helicopter transfers are possible, nothing is too much trouble<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luxurious\u00a0travel\u00a0is\u00a0the\u00a0name\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0game\u00a0and\u00a0both\u00a0offer\u00a0an\u00a0experience\u00a0you\u00a0will\u00a0never\u00a0forget.<\/span>\u00a0Considering this is a service industry, top quality customer service comes guaranteed for b<\/span>oth options. Delicious food and drink come as standard but this is where the service differs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Private\u00a0Charter\u00a0by\u00a0nature\u00a0is\u00a0bespoke\u00a0and\u00a0therefore\u00a0you\u00a0can\u00a0request\u00a0any\u00a0specification\u00a0as\u00a0long as it\u2019s legal and safe. If you desire a particular type of food, strict vegan, for instance, you can have it. You can even go so far as to request a specific brand of coffee or\u00a0Champagne and even a personalised birthday cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the First Class, you are restricted to what\u2019s on the menu even if you have submitted your<\/span>\u00a0dietary\u00a0requirements\u00a0in\u00a0advance\u00a0and\u00a0there\u00a0is\u00a0no\u00a0birthday\u00a0cake\u00a0option,\u00a0sorry!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Private Charter Jet versus First Class: the practicalities<\/span><\/h5>\n

While\u00a0First Class travel<\/span><\/a> affords its own check-in desk at the airport, flying private charter m<\/span>eans boarding via a private terminal away from the general public and this, in turn, means<\/span>\u00a0m<\/span>ore efficient security controls and faster boarding arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commercial airlines can only fly from commercial airports and this may not be a convenient\u00a0option if you\u2019re not situated close to a major city. Because of the bespoke nature of flying by\u00a0private jet, you will find a smaller airport more convenient and where privacy is important,\u00a0smaller and not so well known airports attract less attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

In these difficult times when economies throughout the world are under pressure, the old\u00a0adage \u201ctime is money\u201d has never been more relevant. Business travellers who are required\u00a0to visit more than one city or destination a day will find the convenience of charter jet\u00a0invaluable. The jet is at your disposal and will often wait to take you to your next destination,\u00a0as they don\u2019t want to fly an empty plane.<\/span><\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not a good enough reason to consider flying private charter over first-class then\u00a0consider the additional safety of minors and family members, and even treasured pets who\u00a0will arrive stress-free will not have to travel in the hold. This for me is a win, win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0consider\u00a0the\u00a0reliability\u00a0factor,\u00a0<\/span>flying first class is only an option if the plane is full<\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0f<\/span>lying commercial on unpopular routes risks cancellation. If your business relies on getting<\/span>\u00a0y<\/span>ou to your destination on time to seal that deal then the private jet charter is the only reliable option. To<\/span>\u00a0celebrate,\u00a0know\u00a0that\u00a0they\u00a0will\u00a0have\u00a0a\u00a0hot\u00a0cup\u00a0of\u00a0Kopi\u00a0luwak\u00a0coffee\u00a0waiting<\/span>\u00a0for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
