Is chartering a private jet for the first time complicated? What do I need to prepare? Drawing on 12 years of experience and serving thousands of first-time flyers annually, iFlyPlus provides a comprehensive guide to the entire process.
Common First-Time Concerns
1. "I don't know aviation terminology — what should I do?"
No need to worry at all. iFlyPlus communicates in plain language throughout. You only need to tell us: where to, how many people, and when. We handle the rest.
2. "Will I be taken advantage of as a first-timer?"
iFlyPlus pricing is transparent. All costs (flight operations, fuel, landing fees, catering, etc.) are itemised before any agreement is signed. No hidden charges. Register for V0 free of charge to check prices online.
3. "How far in advance do I need to prepare?"
- Domestic short-haul: 1-2 weeks ahead
- International routes: 2-4 weeks ahead
- Expedited travel: Departure in as little as 4 hours
4. "What if I can't find the aircraft at the airport?"
Private jets do not operate from commercial terminals. You will go to a dedicated FBO terminal — quiet, private, no queues. We send detailed directions in advance.
