People used to think that only rich people are the only ones who can afford to rent or use a private jet. However, things have rapidly changed. Even the middle class society is trying to keep up with the growing trend by renting a private jet instead of commercial jet flights.

For those of you who have been living under a rock, a private jet is a compact and small size plane. It only has a few number of seats, and it has a capacity of 4 to 20 people depending on its size. In addition, it was originally designed for those who travel all the time, and it is also called as a business plane.

Nowadays, anyone, regardless of the status in life, can charter a private jet plane for fun or travel to city. Although it is very expensive, you are sure to have the best time of your life.

Regrettably, due to these different plane modifications, there is an increase in air fares and checked luggage costs. Commercial airlines are asserting to help buyers with these prices, by charging a one time annual cost that will include additional luggage on each flight, instead of buyers paying for extras at the time of travel. Consumer protection people have lobbied that airlines are forced to more quickly notify travelers regarding flight delays and cancellations. Airline ticket agents can no longer advertise fees that are not the complete. Advertising for one-way tickets has to be more specifically laid out. As a result, there are online services that alert travelers when there is a good sale on flights and are offering new methods to track bargain fares. Many monitor air fare web sites, are competing for consumer membership. Almost all of said travel websites give some kind of fare alert service, through e-mail notification, i.e., Tweet alerts, Smartphone apps. In this method, buyers can currently choose the routes they would like to watch and how they want to be alerted.

There is an overwhelming number of private jets on the market today. Most people who fly private jets do not own their jet, but charter their ride. However, before looking into chartering a ride, a person needs to know what their options are. There are four main styles: executive piston and turboprop, light executive jets, midsized executive jets, and heavy jets.

Piston and turboprop jets are great for small groups traveling on business. They are not recommended for people traveling farther distances and are some of smaller jets on the market. Light executive jets offer privacy and are a step up from the piston and turboprop. The interiors are still nice but they are not going to be the highest overall quality. When traveling in large groups you are going to need the midsized executive jet or the larger heavy jets. Both of these are very luxurious and have the space for large parties. These jets will permit for longer traveling distances to your destination country compared to the smaller versions.

Another attractive benefit for private plane flying is privacy. When you book a private jet, essentially, you have booked that jet for your personal travel. Private jet rentals offers the freedom to make your own schedule, thusly, majorly reducing your travel time. In response to the popularity of private plane flying, airports in the nation and around the globe, have parking accommodations for private craft.
