Paul Sullivan took a look at the arduous task of figuring out your private jet travel:

• When it comes to flying around in a private jet there are a lot of factors to consider and most people don’t make such a purchase frequently, so there are consultancies who help you figure out your options.
• For example if you decide to charter a jet the consultancy will provide safety support by doing a background check on the pilot to make sure they actually have experience flying that particular type of plane.
• They may also recommend programs similar to international minutes for phone cards. Customers purchase ‘hours’ that they can use on a private jet, and they’re eligible to spend those hours whenever they want.
• They can always top up the hours if they run out.
• The costs usually comes out to $16,000 an hour – before membership fees and fuel surcharges.
• This is substantially cheaper than the millions of dollars that purchasing your own jet costs.
