What factors influence the cost of private jet charter?

Charter pricing is based on several key factors:

  • Aircraft category
  • Route distance
  • Flight time
  • Ground handling and airport fees
  • Crew overnight requirements
  • Availability of empty legs

We always aim to provide clear, fixed quotes.

Can I get an empty leg private jet deal?

Yes. Empty legs are one-way flights that become available when an aircraft is repositioning. These can offer significant savings if your schedule is flexible. Contact us to check availability.

Are private jet flights public information?

No. Passenger details and itineraries are not publicly disclosed. Some aircraft movements may be visible on flight tracking apps, but most clients opt for flight anonymisation or block features for privacy.

Can I fly internationally on a private jet?

Yes. FusionJets arranges international flights worldwide. We manage everything including customs clearance, landing permits, visa guidance, and local ground handling.

How early should I arrive before a private jet flight?

Arrive just 15 to 30 minutes before departure. You will use a private terminal (FBO) with no queues or crowds. Security and passport checks are quick and discreet.

What is an FBO?

An FBO, or Fixed Base Operator, is a private jet terminal. These facilities offer VIP lounges, fast-track security, customs, and direct car-to-aircraft boarding for maximum convenience.

Can I book a private jet for group or business travel?

Yes. FusionJets regularly arranges flights for executive teams, sports groups, family holidays, and more. We match your group size and destination to the right aircraft.

Can I charter a private jet for a one-way flight?

Yes. One-way flights are common and may be more cost-effective, especially if an empty leg is available. Contact our team to explore options.

Do I need a passport to fly privately?

Yes. If you're flying internationally, standard passport and visa rules still apply. The process is faster and more discreet but still follows all legal requirements.

Can I fly from a smaller airport closer to my home?

Yes. Private jets can operate from regional airports that commercial airlines may not serve. This can reduce travel time and increase convenience.

Can I change my schedule after booking?

Yes, in most cases. Private jet itineraries are flexible. If you need to change your departure time or date, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

Can I request catering or special items onboard?

Yes. We can arrange custom catering, luxury amenities, and branded items on request. Just let us know your preferences during booking.

Can I take sports equipment like golf clubs or skis?

Yes. Most private jets can accommodate bulky or specialist items. We recommend advising us in advance so we can ensure the right aircraft is selected.

Can I fly during public holidays?

Yes. We operate 365 days a year. Demand is higher during holidays, so it’s best to book early for peak periods like Christmas, New Year, and summer weekends.

Do private jets offer Wi-Fi?

Many jets come equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi. Availability depends on the aircraft type. Let us know if Wi-Fi is important and we will prioritise it.

Do I need to go through airport security?

Yes, but the process is much faster. You will clear security in a private terminal with no queues, and board your aircraft directly.

Can I charter a private jet at short notice?

Yes. We can often arrange flights within a few hours, depending on aircraft availability and airport permissions. Last-minute charters are one of our specialties.

Can I travel with children or infants?

Yes. Private jets are ideal for family travel. Baby seats, soft toys, and other comforts can be arranged. Please tell us the ages of your children when booking.
