How To Get A Great Deal On A Charter Plane Service

By Grace Rivas


Most people will feel that a charter plane service will be far too expensive for them and that this sort of flight is meant only for the rich and famous. Perhaps this was true in the past, but times have changed. There are now ways of renting planes for a less exorbitant amount of money.

Finding the best deal takes an intimate knowledge of the business. Learning how an industry works gives insight into what it is you need to get the best price. There are several types of services available.

The options usually available include the purchase of a debit card or a timeshare, or the purchase of services from a broker. A debit card purchase for the redemption of private flights is about $100,000 per year, or even more, while if you own a timeshare, it means that the jet is partly an asset of your own. All these options are expensive.

Private flight companies are making money because they have permanent customers who are multimillionaires. These are people who want the status symbol of having their own jet, or flying with private services. However, lately the multimillionaires are not the only customers of the jet companies. Now there are also options for persons who cannot afford to pay quite as much as what is usually expected.

They are actively courting people who generally fly first-class. The companies know that often their planes are in the air without passengers. Once a millionaire has reached their destination, the plane does not just sit on the tarmac waiting for them. They go back to their home base in a flight that is known in the business as 'deadheading', meaning that it is not making any money.

For those tired of commercial flights, this is good news. For now they can find private flights that are much cheaper than usual - sometimes with a saving of up to fifty percent or more. The customer cannot, however, book far in advance.

New private jet clients can get good deals similar to those offered by companies such as Orbitz and Expedia. More details can be found on the internet regarding the jet's empty trips which are offered at very much below the normal price. These planes fly to and from frequented areas, and are therefore useful journeys.

The online booking aspect of these flights is very convenient. Technology has been embraced, and people know how easy it is to get flight and hotel bookings online. These two essential travel arrangements often go hand-in-hand as well, and are often booked together. Good discounts can be found for empty hotel suites as well, and little notice is required.

Now the moderately wealthy can 'live large' and save money doing it. Many companies that offer a discounted charter plane service will take care of the details for you, setting you free to just show up and enjoy the ride. The best ones have full concierge services; they arrange for limousines, rental cars and anything else that you perceive as a need during your visit.
