As a matter of fact, you can often fly private for less than the cost of a commercial airline’s business class ticket price. Plus, the extra safety, time savings and convenience gained by flying private are enormous. For senior travelers, being able to travel in less crowded environments and with no long lines or waits, flying private can be very beneficial for them. The main advantages of flying by private jet are:
– Comfort: For senior passengers, special attention is paid to ensure their comfort. Clients are assured of private and quiet trips with crew members on board to attend to your needs. Passengers are also allowed to bring in more luggage than on commercial flights. There are also perks like access to television, Wi-Fi, lighting and temperature control, and so on.
– Safety: Private jets are considered safer than commercial flights because of the fewer passengers they carry. There’s room for only minimal contact between passengers and crew members. The crew members ensure that a lot of attention is paid to the safety and health of passengers.
– Convenience: For private jet trips, all the long and crowded boarding processes are skipped because passengers have a private boarding area. Private jets also have more airport options than commercial flights, giving their clients the chance to choose the airports closest to their departure and arrival locations.
Following is a list of the best private jet deals for seniors in 2023.
JSX
This is one of the most popular private jet companies due to high service, comfort and affordability. Instead of chartering your own private jet and having to paying tens of thousands of dollars, you only pay a fraction of the price by buying individual seats on one of their scheduled flights. This may sound like a regular commercial flight, but it offers the following features:
– Huge time savings from a streamlined security and boarding process
– More spacing between seats for better social distancing
– More legroom and cushioning at each seat
– Maximum capacity on the plane of 30 seats on each jet
For most people, the most important benefit of JSX is the time savings — just walk a few steps from the entrance of the private terminal to clear security and walk onto your flight. Plus, you only need to arrive 20 minutes before your flight. You can often find flights for as low as $149 one-way, and you can even credit your JSX flights to JetBlue to earn TrueBlue points or to United to earn MileagePlus miles.
