In short, not really. Private aviation isn’t designed to beat the airlines on price; it’s built to save you time, stress, and hassle. You pay for flexibility, privacy, and access to airports and schedules commercial carriers simply can’t match.

Yes. The My Private Jet Guy app (iOS and Android) lets you request quotes, review options, and manage trips from your phone in a few taps, streamlining the entire experience.

An empty leg is a flight a jet has to make without passengers in order to reposition for its next paying trip. These segments can sometimes be offered at a reduced rate if your plans line up with the aircraft’s route and timing.

Once you confirm your trip with My Private Jet Guy, we’ll lock in your departure airport, schedule, and any ground transportation you need. On the day of departure, you drive up to the private terminal (FBO), check in briefly, and walk straight to your aircraft, no lines, no crowds.

If the aircraft and crew are available, we can often arrange same‑day or next‑day departures. For specific aircraft types, peak dates, or complex routes, booking a bit earlier helps guarantee your preferred schedule.

Yes. Multi‑city and multi‑day itineraries are common in private aviation. You set the pace and sequence of your cities, and we design the routing and aircraft plan around your calendar.

A one‑way flight is a standard charter from Point A to Point B that you book on your terms. An empty leg is a pre-planned repositioning flight that may be available at a discount but is locked to a specific route and time window.

De‑icing is the safety process of removing ice, snow, or frost from the aircraft before departure. A heated fluid is sprayed on critical surfaces to maintain proper lift, control, and performance in cold or contaminated conditions.

With private aviation, you’re not limited to big hubs. We’ll recommend airports based on runway length, customs needs, and proximity to your final destination so you spend more time where you’re going and less time getting there.

For domestic trips, each passenger needs a valid government-issued photo ID. For international flights, passports are required, and visas or permits may be needed depending on your route. We’ll advise you ahead of time so there are no surprises.

You’ll receive a detailed confirmation with your itinerary, aircraft type, and timing. Leading up to departure, our team can arrange catering, ground transportation, and any special requests, then greet you at the FBO and escort you to your jet.

Your flight is operated by properly licensed and type‑rated pilots who meet or exceed regulatory and operator standards for training and experience. Depending on the aircraft and mission, additional crew such as flight attendants or support staff may be onboard.

Most modern charter aircraft offer Wi‑Fi, in‑flight entertainment, and connectivity, but the exact setup varies by jet. Tell us if you need to work, stream, or hold video calls, and we’ll pair you with an aircraft that supports it.

The “right” jet depends on passengers, range, baggage, comfort level, and budget. We narrow options for you and recommend specific aircraft that fit your mission instead of forcing you into a one‑size‑fits‑all solution.

There’s no official dress code, but your outfit should match the occasion and the company you’re keeping. Business attire works well for client meetings, while smart casual and comfortable shoes are perfect for family or leisure trips.

Smoking can be allowed on certain aircraft, subject to operator policy and regulations. If smoking is important to you, let us know in advance so we can factor that into aircraft selection.

Yes. All charterable jets have a lavatory, but size and privacy vary by category. Light jets may have compact or partially enclosed restrooms, while midsize and large‑cabin jets typically feature fully enclosed, more spacious setups.

Yes, pets are often welcome onboard private flights with proper notice and documentation. We’ll walk you through any carrier, health certificate, or destination-specific rules so your pet can travel comfortably and safely.

Baggage capacity depends on aircraft size and configuration. Because hold space can be more constrained on smaller jets, we recommend soft‑sided luggage and advance notice for oversized, heavy, or fragile items so we can plan accordingly.

Passenger capacity ranges from about 4–6 on light jets up to 12–19 on larger aircraft. Share your headcount and preferences, and we’ll recommend aircraft that keep everyone comfortable without over‑ or under‑sizing the jet.

Safety always comes first. If weather impacts your route or departure time, we’ll work with dispatch and the operator to adjust timing, routing, or, in rare cases, reschedule, keeping you informed at every step.
