When you think of flying into large cities one or two airports come to mind. On your trip to New York, JFK and LaGuardia might be what you think. If your destination is London, Heathrow and Luton airport may come to mind. Why are these airports the destinations that you think of when traveling? It is because these are the airports that offer commercial service. Chances are there are other choices if you fly privately. There are over 5500 public use airports in the United States but only about 500 of those have commercial services. A majority of those airports will be accessible to the private jet that you charter.
As an example, let’s look at a trip to Paris, France. Your planning will instinctively revolve around flights to Charles de Gaulle International Airport. But fly privately and you will have access to Le Bourget Airport; just seven kilometers from Paris. On your trip to Chicago you can use Chicago Executive Airport which is 18 miles outside of Chicago instead of the busy O’Hare which is 16 miles outside of the city. Neither Le Bourget or Chicago Executive airports have commercial service which means no crowded terminals; no long security or customs lines; no parking or public transportation hassles and no long flight delays.
The biggest advantage of private jet charter travel is the effective use of your most important personal commodity- your time. When flying commercially, a day trip between New York and Atlanta will not leave you very much time for your business obligations. With two hours at each airport for security and boarding plus two hours of flight time, six hours of your day are gone just by commuting commercially. That is if your flight takes off on time. Both of these commercial airports are notorious for long delays.
If you board a private jet at one of the many executive airports available in either city, you will board and deplane quickly. You will also have quick access to ground transportation and, depending on what airport you use and your destination, you may even be closer to your final destination. Plus you know your flight will take off when you are ready to take off. The added time will allow for more effective business dealings or more time for personal commitments.
Paramount Business Jets recognizes the value that private jet charter travel offers. In an effort to help you make an informed decision on private jet travel, we have developed the Private Jet and Commercial Cost Comparison Calculator. This tool effectively calculates the cost of traveling commercially and factors in salaries and ancillary costs such as car rental and hotel charges to allow for educated choice between private jet and commercial travel.
