Have you ever had a bad day at the airport and fantasized about flying on a private jet? I certainly have. As my daydream comes to an end, I wonder how much does a private jet ticket cost? I did some researched and was shocked to learn a private jet ticket is not as expensive as I imagined. There are new private jet companies starting up and you may be lucky enough to find a seat at the same price (or less!) than a commercial airline. Just imagine, showing up at the airport, with whatever size of liquids you want in your carry-on bag, and just boarding the plane 20 minutes before departure. No lines at security, no TSA regulations, and no waiting in the terminal. That sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?
If you want to find a good deal on a private jet you must be traveling in a small group since you are paying for the whole plane. You also need to be flexible because most of the deals are available last minute on empty legs. It also pays to shop around. The private jet industry has followed the hotel industry and hotel booking websites by offering discounted tickets for last minute travel.
