Private jets heading mainstream

Many people believe that private jet charter is just for business people or the super rich. But increasing numbers of travellers are looking for an alternative to commercial airlines when they are flying for leisure – perhaps for a special occasion such as a honeymoon, important anniversary or birthday trip. PrivateFly.com‘s partner lastminute.com is currently running a hugely popular prize draw to win a private jet holiday trip to Ibiza. There’s still time to enter by the way – here’s how.

With airport security queues, unforseen delays and the often less-than-celebratory commercial airline experience, it’s not surprising that more and more people are looking for a different way of flying. There’s no doubt that a private jet charter can save enormous amounts of time and hassle for travellers. What is surprising, is that the cost of a private jet can, in some cases, prove to be comparable with the cost-per-head of business class seats. PrivateFly aims to de-mystify the process of booking a private jet and offers the price comparison and online booking tools that travellers are familar with from their other travel transactions. Use our quick quote calculator to find out how much a private jet would cost to any destination.

The recent announcement of our partnership with lastminute.com demonstrates this move to the mainstream for private jet charter.  The leading online travel retailer has recognised the increasing consumer demand for private jet charter and, alongside other flight deals, now offers private jet hire in association with PrivateFly.com through the lastminute.com flights channel.
