Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to decorate the airplane cabin for a wedding?

Yes, cabin decoration is agreed upon in advance with the operator and the aircraft owner: flowers, textiles, champagne, and memorabilia. Restrictions apply to open flames and the manner in which decorations are attached—anything placed in the cabin must not interfere with flight safety. Preparations are scheduled several days before departure.

How to plan your flight timing for the ceremony?

Allow some time between your arrival and the ceremony to allow for aircraft handling, ground transfers, and possible delays due to weather or flight slots. A private flight is more flexible than a scheduled flight—the departure time is tied to your schedule, not the airline's, but you still need some time.

What about festive catering on board?

The menu is tailored to the event, including cake and champagne. Hot meals are available on board from mid-class onward, and flight attendants are available from super-mid-class onward. Menu preferences are submitted with the order so that catering can be prepared at the departure airport.

How much does it cost to rent a plane for a wedding?

The price depends on the aircraft class and route: a light jet starts at $3,000/hour, a medium jet starts at $4,500/hour, and a large jet starts at $8,000/hour. A medium jet with a stand-up cabin is ideal for a couple with loved ones, while a large group might prefer a large jet or business jet. Cabin decor and catering are priced separately. Send us a request – we'll prepare a proposal, calculate the operating costs, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

How far in advance should a flight be booked?

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.

What are empty legs and how much can you save on them?

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.

What are the rules on baggage, pets and flying with children?

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.

Can you carry alcohol, smoke and hold events in the cabin?

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.

What happens if a flight is delayed or cancelled due to weather?

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. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How do you charter a private jet?

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.
