Comparing 3 Charter Methods

• Full charter: Exclusive use of the entire aircraft. Higher cost but complete privacy. Ideal for families or business groups of 4+.
• Seat sharing: Share the aircraft with other passengers, from ¥10,000-20,000 per segment. Suitable for solo travellers or couples on short-haul routes.
• Hours card: Purchase flight hours to use at your convenience. Ideal for clients flying 3-10 times per year.

7 Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Not asking for an all-inclusive price: landing fees and overnight charges may be additional
2. Not checking aircraft age: exercise caution with aircraft over 10 years old
3. Not verifying operator credentials: CAAC/FAA certification is essential
4. Not signing a formal contract: verbal commitments are not binding
5. Purchasing flight delay insurance: private jet delays are not covered
6. Booking during peak seasons: Spring Festival/National Day prices can double
7. Chasing ultra-low prices: shared flight advantages come with seat limitations
