Private Jet Charter for Family Travel

For a family, a quiet cabin, a lavatory and a hold for suitcases, buggies and gear matter. For short legs (up to 3 hours) light jets work; for a 4–8-hour holiday, midsize and large jets with hot meals and a flight attendant. The class is matched to the number of family members, the distance to the resort and the baggage volume. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Children fly from birth with no surcharge; child seats and bassinets are provided on request. Pets travel in the cabin without a crate or weight limits, subject to a pet passport, microchip and destination-country documents. Hot meals are available on midsize aircraft and above, a flight attendant from super-midsize. Baggage is generous, with no strict hand-luggage limits.

The price comes from the aircraft class, route length and number of passengers. A charter guide: light jet from $3,000/hour, midsize from $4,500, large from $8,000. For a family of 4–6, a midsize jet is usually optimal: a stand-up cabin, a galley and up to 5–6 hours nonstop.

Charter for a family depends on class and route: light jet from $3,000/hour, midsize from $4,500, large from $8,000. London–Geneva on a midsize jet is about $8–11K, Geneva–Dubai $14–20K. The best value is a matching empty leg — we publish them weekly. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

The standard is 24–48 hours before departure: that is enough to confirm the aircraft, crew and slots. For regular clients we arrange a domestic flight from 4–6 hours. International routes need 48–72 hours: overflight permits for some countries take 3–5 working days. On peak dates — Christmas, summer holidays, major forums — aircraft are booked out 2–3 weeks ahead, so plan early.

An empty leg is the ferry of an empty aircraft to its next job or home to base. Such segments sell at a 30–75% discount to the usual price: a flight that would cost $25K can come to $8–12K. The limits: the date and route are fixed to the aircraft's schedule, and if the main booking is cancelled the flight may shift. We publish current empty legs weekly — watch the listings.

Baggage is limited only by hold volume: a light jet takes 5–8 suitcases, while midsize and above fit skis, gun cases and golf bags — clear oversized cargo in advance. Pets travel in the cabin in a carrier or crate; a pet passport, microchip and documents for the destination country are required. Children fly from birth to 2 years with no surcharge.

Alcohol is allowed in the cabin and is included in catering on request. Smoking follows the rules of the specific aircraft and operator (not permitted on most VIP cabins, with some exceptions). Business meetings, presentations and celebrations in the cabin are possible on midsize aircraft and above. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

In non-flying weather or an airport closure the operator offers a rescheduled departure, a change of alternate airfield or a substitute aircraft — safety always takes priority and the captain decides. If the operator cancels through its own fault, the fee is refunded. We stay in contact with the operator and quickly rebuild the flight.

Call us or leave a request on the site. Tell us the dates, the route and how many passengers are flying. We come back with a shortlist of suitable aircraft and a quote for each, usually within a couple of hours.

Once you pick the aircraft we handle the rest: contract, slots, ground handling, catering and, if needed, VIP terminal and transfers. On short notice a flight can be arranged within a few hours.
