Instead, you can be realistic and opt for a smaller aircraft that suffices your demands and splurge when you reach your destination.
• Book one way You can avail of reduced jet charter prices if you book a one-way jet charter. Since private jet charters often travel to meet their clients, they have empty leg seats for a part of the journey. In such cases, the jet charters are available at reduced prices. However, booking a one-way jet charter is feasible only when your trip is flexible, otherwise, the availability of empty flights can affect your schedule.
• Invest in a membership program If you are a frequent flier, you can opt for the membership programs made available by private jet companies. All you have to do is pay a monthly or annual fee that the program demands; this will allow you to fly as often as you want without any additional charges being levied on you.
