First Time On Private Jet: Two Women Experience First Flight Ever

People always say they remember their first ever time on a private jet. So it was great to read about a double first for two ladies in their seventies. It was also their first ever flight, of any kind.

Both passengers were grandmothers from Netherlands. An Bernaards has a fear of flying, and Ria Van den Brand’s husband is scared of heights, so she had never taken the opportunity to fly.

The grandmothers had the luxury of flying on a Legacy 500 from Amsterdam Schipol to Barcelona, an estimated price of £12,800, which can seat up to 13 passengers in its spacious and comfortable cabin. A slightly smaller jet alternative for this route, which still offers a high-end luxury sedan sensation, is the Mustang private jet at an estimated price of £5680.

The flight was arranged as part of Vodafone’s Firsts campaign – doing remarkable things for the first time. It was great to see the private jet experience included in this campaign. See their full flight here:

At PrivateFly we have flown many customers who are frightened of flying using private jets. The private jet experience allows passengers to be much closer to the crew, having a much more personal experience and relaxing environment.

The first time on a private jet is always an amazing experience. If you’re interested in booking your first private jet (or even your twentieth!), contact us at +44 (0) 1747 642 777 (available 24/7).
