Private Jet

Set Jet, which operates a private jet charter service for its members, has announced the addition of a daily flight from Los Angeles to New York City. The non-stop service will operate out of Los Angeles airport (LAX) to two regional airports in the New York area: White Plains, New York, and Teterboro, New Jersey.

These new flights will be serviced through a Bombardier CRJ900 that has been adapted for the airline and provides accommodation for 25 passengers. The service includes a five-star meal, complimentary beverages, and a range of premium snacks.

This service is ideal for those who are travelling between these locations, which are important economic and entertainment areas, on business. It will also be perfect for those who have booked luxury rentals in New York and want to travel to their vacation in style.

For passengers who require an even more exclusive experience, the aircraft also features a private suite. This has capacity for five people, with a three-seat divan, two captain’s chairs, and its own washroom facilities.

The airline provides a first-class service for passengers, allowing them to take advantage of a private jet through a membership plan. They use VIP terminals in conveniently situated airports that are less busy than those used by regular services. This reduces the time it takes to travel, with fewer delays going through security or check-in. This type of service appeals to business passengers who often have to travel at the last minute, which can otherwise incur a premium.

With the cheapest available private jet coming in at a staggering $2.9 million, you might be forgiven for thinking that traveling to your next vacation on your own plane was only for the rich and famous. However, it’s actually more accessible than you think, and the numbers of those flying on private jets is actually rising.

There are now a variety of options available that have helped to dramatically reduce the price and make it more in line with a first class ticket on a commercial carrier. This means that you can now travel to those luxury rentals using a more luxurious method.

Time-share planes

If you want to buy a small share in an aircraft instead of taking on the expense of maintaining an entire jet, a time-share option could be ideal. NetJets allows you to purchase part-time shares and then use them the next time you want to fly. This can make long-haul routes, such as flying between New York and San Francisco, a lot more bearable.

Booking apps

We’re all used to conveniently booking a cab or ordering a pizza with the multitude of apps on our smart phones. Did you know that you can now reserve a seat on a private jet the same way? A number of options are available through companies such as JetSmarter, Beacon, and BlackJet. They enable you to book one seat or even have unlimited travel with a set monthly fee. There are a total of 43 apps for private jet services in the Apple App Store, which just goes to show how popular this method of transportation is becoming.
