Chartering a private jet is different from purchasing a ticket for an airliner flight. While booking your ticket months in advance is likely to be cheaper and easier, that is not the case with private jets. The price of chartering a private jet fluctuates very rarely. It doesn’t matter what time or date you book your private jet, the price will likely be the same.

Only the popularity of your flight at a given time can drive up prices and make it more difficult to access some private jets. For example, flights to ski resorts in winter or seaside resorts in summer. In that case, booking your private jet a little in advance will give you the best chance of getting the private jet you want.

Do not hesitate to contact our advisers for more information.
