Use the 'Flight Search' to find your required airfields - remember, private jets can use much smaller airports closer to your final destination. PrivateFly will display the range of aircraft that are capable of making your specified journey together with average market charter prices. After adding any specific requests, PrivateFly submits your flight to the open market. Using our network, aircraft operators will be informed immediately of your tender and are able to bid directly to you.
PrivateFly offers our members complete transparency. You see everything we do; the quotes, the operators and the links to their websites - even individual messages that operators would like you to read. For those too busy or confused by the choice, PrivateFly offers a complete offline service too. Just call +44 (0)1 747 642 777 and your PrivateFly representative will process your flight on your behalf.
On arriving at the airport, expect to be met by your Captain at the nominated meeting point. Again most airports now have private jet FBO's (Fixed Based Operations) which are effectively private jet passenger terminals. The nominated handling agent from the airport will guide you and your Captain directly to your aircraft. Many smaller airports will allow you to drive straight to the steps of your aircraft.
If your party are arriving separately, you may choose to either wait for them in the lounge or board the aircraft separately. Again the lounge facilities will depend on the airport. At the larger private jet hubs such as London City Airport and Paris Le Bourget, a high standard of concierge services are available. Ground transportation can also be arranged through the FBO - be it limousine services, valet parking or airport transfers.
Comfort levels and facilities vary, depending on aircraft sizes and manufacturers. With smaller jets and turbo props, your cabin space will be limited but well designed. These types of aircraft do not generally have flight attendants but your crew will assist you when safely airborne. VIP catering is provided as standard on all our flights but expect standards to vary; this is largely dependant on your departure country. Small aircraft tend not to have food warming facilities but most medium jets and larger will have a well equipped galley capable of serving hot and cold menus. Should you have specific dietary requirements or indeed any specific requests about any detail of your flight, PrivateFly will arrange these in advance.
Only a small number of aircraft in the PrivateFly network do not have a toilet. All medium jets and larger aircraft have fully equipped bathrooms and some of our top end aircraft have luxury bedrooms and ensuite showers. Most private jet seats are able to be lowered to make almost "flat bed" position for optimal on-board comfort.
