Private Jet Options: Jet Charters, Fractional Ownership, or Full?

Private air travel seems to gain more and more popularity each and every year, but there are still position changes in regard to what the best private flight option is.

For example, in the beginning, full ownership reigned, as owning your own, personal private jet was the picture of wealth, success, and decadence.

However, soon after the initial emergence of private aircraft, partial, or fractional, ownership gained more popularity, because the maintenance and cost of a private jet were often too steep for the casual flyer.

But fractional ownership still had some issues, mainly, you only had access to one plane and that access was shared.

That’s when private jet charters began running the game, and soon this was upgraded again to create On Demand private jet charters.

The On Demand model tried to keep all the pros of the previous models while mitigating or doing away with the cons altogether – and it worked. But not all options are right for all flyers, let’s find out which private jet option is best for you.

Full Ownership of a Private Jet

This is where the majority of our minds go when we talk about ‘flying privately’, but a lot actually goes into fully owning an asset as large and expensive as a private aircraft.

The advantages for owning your own private jet are pretty straight forward; first, you fully own it, so you have all of the control over its use, amenities, and more, and second, owning a private jet is a status symbol that is hard to match.

Additionally, if you fly over 500 hours a year, ownership is probably your best bet, as it has relatively low costs at high levels of use.

But most strengths are weaknesses in certain situations, and that is true of full ownership as well.

Full ownership means you have one aircraft to fit all of your various flight needs (unless, of course, you have a whole fleet of jets of assorted sizes and classes at your disposal). This means you cannot have multi-departures at one time and have zero availability during maintenance periods.

Also, you have to take the same jet for a quick business meeting a couple of hours away as you do for a 10-hour flight with all your family and friends. Meaning you either have a huge jet that is sometimes nearly empty for short hauls, or a small jet that has to take multiple trips to bring everyone to the final destination.

Finally, there are often repositioning fees, a high initial cost, and depreciation to worry about when you are the full owner.

Fractional Private Jet Ownership

Fractional ownership might have been brought into the limelight by Warren Buffett, but this form of private air travel was the standard for many years if you didn’t travel enough to make full ownership viable.

Fractional ownership can best be explained as a timeshare for a fleet or a single aircraft, but, because it is similar to a timeshare, it has similar issues to a timeshare.

Mainly, the issue is right in the name: sharing.

What if you and one of the other ‘shareholders’ want a particular jet (or the only jet) at the same time? You are both paying large amounts for your fractional ownership, but you cannot both use the same aircraft at once.

That means that one of the fractional owners will have to deal with a dreaded ‘blackout date’ or possibly use another jet if any are available through the company.

However, the positives of fractional ownership outweigh the negatives for some flyers, namely, the sharing of responsibilities, cost, and maintenance. This is an especially alluring option if you do not fly privately often, as there is a lower cost with low utilization.

On Demand Private Jet Charters

Private jet charters have been around since the very idea of owning a private jet, however, their practices have undergone some dramatic improvements in recent years with the addition of the On Demand mentality.

In large part, the improvements are due to private jet brokerage companies getting their strategy, customer service and inventory aligned with the needs of the industry and their clients. However, just like all the options above, there are potential downsides if your brokerage company is not well-connected.

If your broker is not well-connected or full-service, you might need to book through multiple operators – costing you more time, effort, and potentially money. This is why you should always work with a full-service broker who can meet all of your needs in one location – like Vault Jet.

With Vault, you only need to make one call and we can have you airborne in as little as two hours! Additionally, you can choose every aspect of your flight and customize it to match your needs or wants.

And you’ll never have to wait again, or deal with black-out dates, as we have connections throughout the industry and can always find you a jet that meets your needs, even on busy travel days!

Many of the pitfalls of ownership are avoided with On Demand charters, such as the depreciation of an expensive asset, maintenance costs, contracts, time commitments or paying for hours you won’t use, the lack of flexibility in aircraft, and more. Additionally, private jet charters have the lowest cost for flyers between 50-500 hours a year, which covers the majority of flyers.

10 Reasons Why You Should Never Fly Commercial

Commercial flights are doing their best to keep up with the private jet charter trend – but how can they when they focus on quantity and we focus on quality?

Even first class can’t stand up to the individualized, time-saving comfort that private air travel provides, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

From convenience to stress-relief, quality and value to privacy and image, flying privately versus on a commercial flight will make you actually look forward to your time in the sky.

And with all the time you’ll save avoiding the waiting, lines, security, taxying and more waiting, you’ll actually arrive at your final destination even sooner.

So, go ahead, give Vault Aviation a try – and let the sky be your limit!

Private Jet Charters Save You Precious Time

Did you know that you can save hours of time when you fly privately?

How? Because you get to skip the lines – the baggage line, the check-in line, the security line, the boarding line, on and on it goes. But all of those lines aren’t just annoying, they waste your time too.

Vault Jet knows how important our clients’ time is, which is why we would never dream of wasting it.

Instead, you walk straight from your car to your jet and take off right from there. Simple, right? It’s almost like that’s how it was meant to be.

What’s More Convenient Than Flying Private?

Convenience means you don’t have to worry about all the logistics of private jet ownership or commercial airlines rules and regulations – instead, you get to set the rules, the times, the whole travel experience.

Don’t want all the responsibility? Just tell our team what you want, what you like or don’t like, and we can plan your private jet charter experience for you.

However you want it, as involved or hands-off as you prefer, we can make it happen.

A Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Vault Aviation focused on each of our clients and each of their flights like it’s our only priority – because, well, you are!

We don’t have to get 366 people on and off a single flight, turn the plane around, and do it all over again. And because we don’t focus on just sheer quantity – or getting as many people to as many destinations as possible – we are able to focus on quality instead.

The quality of your service, the quality of your flight, and the quality of your aircraft – that’s our main focus.

The Flexibility of Private Jet Charters

If something changes and you can no longer make your commercial flight – even if you are first class – it doesn’t matter, they will leave without you. But with a private jet charter you are the only thing that matters.

If one of your guests is running a little late, if there is traffic, or if your plans change, we can accommodate much better than even the best commercial airline, because we are focused on providing you the very best service, not you plus the other 365 people on your flight.

Individualization to a T

Do you want lobster as your main course during your flight or a grilled cheese? Are you more interested in a quiet flight to read or listen to music, or do you prefer it to be a party?

Our team of experts will find the perfect plan for whatever your private flight needs and desires are. We’ve crafted everything from corporate meetings in the sky to vacations that begin even before you arrive at your destination.

That’s the beauty of private air travel, it isn’t just a flight, it’s whatever you want it to be.

It’s All in the Name – Private Jet Charter

Privacy is important to many of our clients, and being on a plane with 300 or more people, even if you’re separated by that little ‘class curtain’, doesn’t give you much privacy at all.

This is why many opt for cabins instead of just first class, but why rent a cabin when you could have the entire private jet to yourself instead?

Quality Time with Your Travel Companions

If you are traveling in a group, whether for business or pleasure, your time together is valuable. Wouldn’t you rather get to spend time with your friends, family, or collogues in a relaxed, comfortable setting instead of crammed into too-small seats for a too-long flight?

Stretch your legs, enjoy the company, and fly like a champion instead of a chump next time with Vault.

No Commercial Airports? No Stress.

Some of the most frustrating places on Earth are the DMV and airports. Unfortunately, we can only help with one of those – but luckily, we can help with the one that you more-commonly have to deal with.

Because we have the ability to use private airports and runways, you never have to go through the intense obstacle course that is a commercial airport again. We make it easy for you, and we make your entire travel – from ground to air to ground and your final destination – seamless.

Image – for Your Company, for Your Clients

There is something to be said about image and private jet charters, and there is a reason that many higher-ups in business use private air travel.

Of course, the perks are one of the reasons so many prefer private jets to commercial flights, but the image it gives your industry, your competition, and your clients is often just as important as the comforts you get to enjoy.

Finally, a Flight Option You’ll Actually Look Forward to

One of the greatest benefits you gain from flying privately is the enjoyment of the flight. Whether you have to fly for work, or you choose to fly for fun, wouldn’t it be nice if you could enjoy the process instead of dread it?

That is exactly what our client’s get when they fly with Vault Aviation, and that’s exactly what we want you to experience too.

Vault Aviation’s Top 5 Perks of Flying with a Private Jet Charter

Save Time & Land Closer on a Private Jet Charter

Did you know that there are only 789 medium-to-large commercial airports in the United States? Now that may seem like a large number, but it cannot even begin to cover the almost 3.8 million square miles that make up the United States.

Now compare this to over 13,000 private airports throughout the United States. That number makes 789 look pretty paltry. And when you consider that the remainder of the distance between your starting point and your final destination will have to be covered by car, train, or other ground-transport, you are looking at a lot of wasted time and unnecessary hassle.

Don’t let your vacation, business meeting, or getaway get off to the wrong start – fly with a private jet charter instead and get there faster.

Fly a Private Jet Charter & Never Worry About Airport Lines Again

Speaking of precious time, nothing wastes more of it than waiting in airport lines. From ticketing to baggage, security to boarding, then doing it all over again in reverse, the amount of time you waste in airports can exceed the amount of time you spend in the air!

At Vault Aviation, we know our clients’ time is valuable, and we act like it! No unnecessary waits, no taxying for no reason, no waiting on the tarmac.

Simply walk directly onto our private jet charter, relax, and get there faster.

It really is as simple as that.

Layovers are a Thing of the Past with a Private Jet Charter

With a private jet charter, you save time by skipping the extra ground transport, you save time by skipping all the lines, and you even save time by never having a layover steal precious hours of your day.

Even on the finest commercial flights, you may still have to waste time at a go-between airport, or layover, before you arrive at your true destination. Why? Because the aircraft has to wait for the other passengers to arrive in order to fill the flight.

And every layover, every go-between airport, means more lines, more waiting, more wasted time that you’ll never get back.

Only a private jet charter can get you that time back and treat your hours, minutes, and seconds as precious as they truly are.

On a Private Jet Charter, Your Schedule Rules the Sky

With a private jet charter, you can leave whenever you want, arrive whenever you want. There are no ‘blackout dates’ or unwanted redeye flights. There aren’t any holidays that are already booked or overbooked.

You’ll never have to wake up at 3 AM to make it to the airport by 4 AM, to get on a 6 AM flight again. Instead, you choose when takeoff is, or you tell us when you want to arrive, and we make the rest a seamless, luxurious ride.

On a private jet charter, the only schedule you follow is yours! That means no ‘laptops must be stowed as we take off and land’ or meals in the middle of your nap. You have complete control when you fly with a private jet charter – and isn’t that the way it should be?

Choose the Cuisine Your Crave & the Company You Want with a Private Jet Charter

Even more than choosing your times, arrival, or departures, you can choose everything on your private jet charter! From the upholstery to the meals, the guests to aircraft to entertainment and more.

If you want a party in the sky, a relaxing journey, or a continuation of your work trip, Vault Aviation can make it happen. Because on a private jet charter, you have true choice and personalization.

That’s what it means to Fly Like a Champion, and that’s all Vault Aviation does.

What You Need to Know About Private Jet Charters

Perhaps you’ve seen the luxurious new suites, seats, or ‘air apartments’ that many commercial airlines are advertising lately.

But have you asked yourself why each new class seems more lavish and overstated than the last? What are they trying to get at? Who are they competing with?

Interestingly enough – they are competing with us.

Not just us, of course, but with the private jet charter industry as a whole. And unfortunately for them, no matter how extra they create their suites, they will never be able to reach the luxury or convenience of a private jet rental.

But what makes private jet charters so above and beyond even the fanciest of first classes? Read on to learn all the very best things about Vault Aviation and flying privately with us.

With a Private Jet Charter – It’s All About You

Commercial airlines are ultimately about themselves, rules and regulations, protocols, bottom lines, and, at the very end of the list, about serving all of their customers – in first class, business class, economy, and below.

However, with a private jet charter, it’s about you, your guests, your requests, and your experience.

And the benefits don’t just cover the added luxuries, but also individualization, freedom, convenience, flexibility, and even saving time!

Choose Your Time

If you’ve ever had to search for a flight and realized that none of the times were convenient for you, then you would love a private charter.

Because ultimately, no matter how grand that first class cabin or air apartment is, you still have to be ready for takeoff when they say, land when they say and arrive when they say.

And if the only available times for your needed flight are redeyes or early mornings? Well, then you are merely out of luck.

Not very luxurious after all.

However, with a private jet charter, you can choose to leave whenever you want, whatever day, from whatever airport. This is the kind of control, choice, and freedom that flying private provides.

Choose Your Food

First class dining options may be better than economy, but they still aren’t very enjoyable. And though many airlines are trying to increase their variety, quality or sensitivity to diet restrictions, there is only so much that can be done when you are trying to serve food to hundreds.

This isn’t a problem for flying private though, as you can hand pick any menu you want, and have it prepared and served exactly how you like.

There’s something to be said about ‘small batch’, isn’t there?

Choose Your Destination

Did you know there are vastly more private airports in the world than public? And when we say vastly, we don’t meet a few extra in every city. We mean you could save hours in commuting times once you are already on the ground.

Think of it like this – you leave your home or office and drive to the nearest public airport, let’s ignore all the wait time involved once you arrive and skip right to when you land at your next public airport.

Are you at your destination yet? Hardly.

Now you have to leave that public airport to drive to your true destination. But what if there isn’t an airport near your end destination?

You could be wasting a lot of your precious time just driving from one travel location to another travel location.

But if you fly privately with a jet charter, then you can land much closer to your final destination, saving you time, hassle, and additional travel.

Choose Your Company

Even if you are in first class, you’ll have neighbors. Even if you are in a private suite, you’ll have others on the flight too.

Only with a private jet charter can you choose your company. Bring anyone, bring your pets, or bring no one and enjoy the whole aircraft to yourself. The choice is yours on a private jet rental.

Never share your space again, or have your neighbor tell you they are allergic to your furry friend.

Save Your Time

We’ve already mentioned the saved-time by traveling between private airports and not having to drive as far to get to your final destination. But what about all that time wasted waiting at the public airport?

Waiting for tickets. Waiting to check in. Waiting for security. Waiting for boarding. Waiting for your baggage. Waiting for your taxi or car.

The list goes on and on and it is stealing your time away from you.

Take control of your time and don’t waste it on waiting. Instead, use a private jet charter and save hours on every single flight you take.

Now that’s luxury.
