If you can, flying private is the way to go. Need some help convincing yourself? Check out these perks:

1.) Private jet passengers fly where they want, when you want, along with their families, friends, and pets. And they fly with so much more freedom, convenience, and comfort.

2.) Could private jets be safer? In a way…yes. They are at least as safe as commercial jets, and sometimes more so.  Private jet pilots and crews are attached to specific aircraft. They know everything about that jet. Private pilots are subject to the same professional standards as commercial pilots. Private planes held to the same air safety and maintenance regulations as commercial jets. Private jet companies are usually younger than their commercial counterparts, and  often observe to  even higher maintenance standards.

3.) There are no baggage restrictions on private planes. The only limits is that is has to fit onboard. Liquids? All ok. Firearms? Also ok unloaded and given to your flight attendant to stow in the hold. Your pet? Also ok!

4.) Customs is easier. No red tape, no lines.

5.) Flight plans on private jets are highly customizable, within air-traffic limitations. You can always work on your ideal flight plan with your flight coördinator. You can stop nearly anywhere, for anything you want.

6.) Arrange your own in flight dining experience. Magellan Jets, and other charter companies, send passengers extensive menus in advance. Choices include sushi, steak, gourmet pizza and burgers, lox and bagels, fresh seafood, salads, pasta, you name it. Preferences such as vegetarian or organic menus are accommodated. Flights can also be catered by restaurants within driving range of your departure airport. Cooking facilities on planes may be limited to reheating, so dishes that travel well are usually best. Some jets contain a full bar, snacks, and soft drinks.

7.) Customized inflight entertainment. You can make special requests for music, games, live entertainment, poker decks, whatever. Tell your provider what you have always wanted.

8.) Your private jet can be your office in the sky.  You can expect a satellite flight phone, and fax. WiFi is now standard, but clients should double-check.
