The Cheapest Private Jet

And the cheapest private jet in the world is a real turning point.

Today, the Cirrus Vision Jet is the cheapest private jet available. Cirrus' VP of Communication and Communication, Ben Kowalski, says the Vision Jet has been in development for 10 years as the serial aircraft made its maiden voyage last year. Mr. Kowalski also disclosed that Vision Jet's targeted market is private ownership and local airline operations.

Vision Jet will then be able to launch at just 2,036 ft before it reaches a max operational height of 28,000 ft. Vision Jet's 4.1-foot high and 5.1-foot broad stateroom offers surprising space for up to five adult and two child passengers.

Prosperous miser: Getting a private jet for less money

Jump over the line, forgot to take off your boots and get on your private jet. Using private jet charters that run for hundreds of millions of dollars each way, this is not a practical way for budget-oriented travelers. Cheapism.com found ways to enjoy this luxurious service for less than the price of a regular airline fare.

"When we need an aircraft in Las Vegas for a charters client, but we don't have one there, we might have to take it there without passengers," says Alex Wilcox, JetSuite chief executive officer. On the contrary, all these empty tickets can be yours at a reasonable rate. The two available aircraft models offer space for four to six people, so if you occupy all your places with your loved ones, the personal rate will drop to $90.

The disadvantage of these departures is that you cannot select your own itinerary, date or travelling season. A further possibility to get privileged private jet tickets is the use of a jet-ticket. There are many jet ticketing operators, usually airline operators such as Delta, which also operates a small aircraft portfolio, and smaller jet brokerage firms such as JumpJet or BlackJet ("the Uber of private jets").

Buy a subscription (also known as a Jetcard) and make a large upfront payment that prevents you from issuing a certain amount of cash or fly a certain number of flights within a certain amount of timeframes. However, some businesses levy a subscription in order, for example, to terminate a subscription or forfeit credit on the credit cards.

Unless you are looking for a one-time business, you will probably be working with a yacht rental company or real estate agent. Carriers are enterprises, groups of persons or sometimes just single persons who own, service and run an aircraft or a group of aircraft. Providers are authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation to conduct customer flights for hire.

However, many buyers who want to rent an aircraft go through real estate agents. BROKERS act as intermediaries linking anyone wishing to make a booking with an operator, although there are carriers that act both as an operator and as a brokering agent. At best, brokerage firms help their clientele find secure, dependable, competent and accommodating carriers. However, since it is simple to get into this type of transaction, it is important to select a real estate agent with great caution.

Customers sometimes do not even notice that they are working with a broker rather than directly with an operating company and may be amazed by short-term changes and unanticipated costs. The DOT proposes a policy that requires all brokerage firms to be fully aware of fee levels and previous relations with providers, and to provide customers with timely warning of last-minute changes to their schedules.

Its purpose is to help the consumer find cheap brokerage and jet ticket service. Meanwhile, make sure that the intermediary or provider provides a guarantee of a detailed and comprehensive offer in advance. ClipperJet CEO James Occhipinti is recommending against brokerage all together, largely to prevent brokerage charges. Instead, potential travelers can browse the Hub Magazine chart (available free online), which is something of a yellow page, to find private aircraft available for charters.

Mr Occhipinti proposes to call three or four locals to obtain offers for a particular route and choose the best one. On the other side, a brokering agent can only contact the provider with whom he has a relation. Conversely, relation brokerages have established relations with locals who suggest that they may be able to find specific rebates and the most dependable and secure option.

Agents' expertise and day-to-day business can help them achieve better conditions for the additional costs associated with charter flights, such as food service, additional charges for fuels, de-icing, groundhandling, consumption tax, etc. Bernie Burns of B2Aviation says that perhaps the best private jet business plan for those who fly a lot is to find and retain a trusted agent.

If you outsource your entire deal to a single agent, you can get even cheaper fares from charterers and permanent providers (ground assistance and crew). Publisher's note: This message has been processed to revise the JetSuite flight price information. Read more about Cheapism:
