On a commercial flight, it's recommended you arrive at least an hour early to allow for check-in, baggage, security, boarding etc. Also, you can't be late - so if you need to cope with traffic, leave extra early so you don't get left behind. And then when you arrive, you'll have to wait for your baggage to come through which can take an extra 20 minutes.
You can effectively bypass all of the initial processes by flying privately. You can arrive at the charter company and be in the air within 10 minutes. When you arrive, the check-in process is instant and without drawn out security screening. You're taken onto the tarmac and the luggage is placed in the baggage area while you board the private jet.
And then when you arrive at your destination, you can hop right off and go on your merry way. Once you're in the air, there are no major differences in flight duration. Unless you're looking to do long-haul flights where the larger aircraft are able to cruise at higher altitudes, the flight times are roughly the same.
However, due to the pre and post-flight processes, you'll save more time flying privately. Airlines are renowned for cancellations, delays and time issues. Granted, managing an airline and flights to depart and arrive on schedule is a grueling task. Around 1 for every 5 airline flights in Australia is either delayed or cancelled. The rate of delays or cancellations for private flights around closer to 1 in 50, which is almost always due to harsh weather conditions. However, it means that charter flights are far more reliable.
And if you're a little bit late, you won't get left behind! While flying commercially can be an exciting experience, there's always complaints somewhere. On the other hand, it goes without saying that private jets are an incredible experience. Unfortunately most people don't have the pleasure of flying privately in their lifetime.
But if you can afford it, the experience is certainly one to remember! Depending on the plane and charter service, you might get a luxurious interior, with plenty of space. Corporate jets often have meals and drinks included with waiting staff and other goodies. And the flight itself is more exhilarating and involved.
Maybe this isn't a good thing for worried flyers, but it's great for the vast majority of people. Public charters are nearly always offered by airlines with spare capacity. Often airlines particularly low-cost airlines, who rely on the full capacity to make a profit will offer out a block booking of seats on one of their scheduled services to travel agents or in partnership with a cruise company.
While the flight actually takes place on a scheduled service, that block of seats has been specifically booked to cater to the needs of another company. This is a pretty exclusive type of jet charter. It is a service offered by premium business jet operators. This type of travel is where an individual, a group, or a company rents the aircraft in its entirety. The size of the aircraft will be dictated by the number of passengers. This is a popular choice with sports teams.
The entire cost of the flight will be charged to the individual client. This is a little similar to a private charter, except each traveler pays for their seats. Travelers who use this service might be part of a sports club, a society, or a large organization. The airplane is hired, and then seats are made available to be purchased only for approved people.
The key difference between this type of charter and a public charter is that with affinity, a regular member of the public cannot buy a ticket on the aircraft. Airplanes are chartered for all sorts of reasons. One obvious benefit of an airplane is that it gets to places really fast. This makes it the ideal form of transport if you need to transport goods quickly.
Depending on the type you opt for, charter flights can be expensive. It sounds pretty great, right? But what are the advantages? Well, here are a few to think about: —. Scheduled flights though are always operated by commercial airlines and sell tickets individually.
Because private companies lease these planes, chartered flights can be extremely flexible and can be a better fit for the client's needs. This is often one of the most appealing aspects of chartering a plane.
Charter operators can also change the schedule up to 24 hours before departure depending on preference. Scheduled flights have a set published time that these flights leave regardless of whether it is full or not.
Chartered flights land at the most suitable airport for the customer.
