Why Private Flights Outshine Commercial Flights
by Jufcy Infographics Infographic Creator CompanyTraveling by air is a necessity in present times. The only thing a
person has to decide is whether to board a commercial or private jet.
Private jet charter has many advantages compared to commercial flights.
To begin with, private jest can use 5,000 airports in the US. On the
other hand, the commercial planes have 550 airports at their disposal,
almost ten times less.
The US forms 49% of the global private
jet market, while Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin and South America and
Africa, combined with Middle East, constitute 20.8%, 11.8%, 11.6%, and
6.1% respectively. Furthermore, in 2012, there were 259,000 private
takeoffs from Van Nuys airport making it the busiest aviation airport in
the whole of the world. It’s also worth noting that the Super Bowl is
quoted as the biggest air travel event globally - the flight of 1,000
private airplanes from Phoenix Stadium marked this event in February
2015.
$500 million Air Bus 380, possessed by Prince Alwaleed
bin Talal, is the most expensive private jet in history. A two-car
garage, stable for horses and camels and revolving prayer room are some
of the exclusive features.
Comparison Between Private And Commercial Air Travel
The
first thing you notice when chartering a private jet, it is the
preparation time to board. When you choose private flight, you get an
additional one and half-hour to spend with your family in the morning,
before you leave. The check-in time is only 15 minutes, thus, you have
more time to sleep. When you choose commercial flight you have to get up
early and rush to the airport. You get less time to sleep as the
check-in time varies from 2 to 3 hours.
The very important
thing is that you can, almost always, reach an airport closest to your
home in 60 minutes. In addition, in most cases, you can continue your
work over phone privately in the private flight. Now compare it to a
commercial flight where you are forced to queue with 100 plus passengers
at gates and which gobbles 4 hours of your time. Besides, privacy is
out of the question.
When you reach your destination in a
private plan, you find a driver waiting to take you wherever you want.
In other words, you do not line up in long queues for security checks
and baggage claiming and thus escape the crowd in smooth manner. On the
other hand, with commercial flights, you have to go through long queues
of security check and baggage claim before you get your transport. The
private flight also offers more space and fewer waiting hours so your
travel experience leaves you feeling fresh and relaxed.
The
cost of private air jet varies from $1,400 to $7,000 per hour depending
on the type of chartered jet and the destination. The smaller a jet is,
the cheaper it is. On average, a private jet has six seats and you are
taken care of by a pretty stewardess. The commercial travel charge
ranges from $652 to $8,000 per seat, depending on the travel class you
choose. A typical commercial flight boards 555 passengers served by 11
crew members.
Five Types of Private Jets
There
are different types of private jets so that you can always choose the
best option. The Turbo Prop Jet houses 6-8 seats, flies at 315 mph in
1,250-2,100 miles range while costing $1,400 to $1,800 per hour. Light
