How can I book a private jet?

Initiating a charter with Vector Jet is a straightforward process. You can book directly via our website, by telephone, or email, providing your itinerary, destination, and passenger count. Our team conducts a global search across thousands of aircraft from our network of third-party aircraft operators. We typically provide a personalised price estimate within hours. Your dedicated flight expert will then help you select and secure your preferred option, managing every detail from crew arrangements to landing permits. We offer flexible forms of payment for your convenience.

Which aircraft should I choose?

The optimal type of aircraft depends on your route, party size, and requirements. For quick European hops, a very light or midsize jet may be ideal, perfect for routes to Ibiza, Nice, or Cannes. For transcontinental travel, a long-range or super midsize jet offers the necessary range and space. Your Vector Jet expert will advise on the most suitable model, whether you're flying to Geneva, Switzerland, or Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. We partner with the industry's leading operators to ensure the aircraft will always match your mission.

How much luggage can I bring on a flight?

Luggage capacity will vary depending primarily on the type of aircraft and the flight time. A very light jet may accommodate one case per passenger, while a larger aircraft like a super midsize jet can easily handle bulkier items such as sports or musical equipment. Your specific allowance will be confirmed in your quote. The key advantage is that you have direct access to your luggage onboard, removing the risk of loss associated with commercial travel.

Is the check-in procedure unique for private air travel?

Absolutely. Flying privately allows you to use dedicated General Aviation terminals, such as Le Bourget in Paris or Farnborough in the UK. These airports enable you to arrive just minutes before your departure, bypassing lengthy main terminal queues. Our team pre-completes all legal and customs formalities on your behalf. This streamlined process applies at airports worldwide, from London to Côte d'Azur, ensuring a discreet and efficient travel experience from curb-side to cabin.

Are pets permitted on board?

Yes, business aviation is the most comfortable way to travel with pets, as they can stay with you in the cabin. However, international regulations apply. You will need a valid pet passport or Animal Health Certificate, and landing at certain destinations like the UK requires a DEFRA-approved airport. It is critical to inform your personal manager during booking, as policies vary depending on the aircraft operators. We will ensure all terms and paperwork are correctly arranged for a smooth journey.

What is included in the price?

Our prices are full and transparent, covering the flight time, crew salaries, airport fees, and fuel. The final price will vary depending on the type of aircraft, route, availability, and other factors like international overflight permits. Your formal quote will provide a complete breakdown of all costs. We act as a broker, simply chartering aircraft from third-party aircraft operators, and our commitment is to provide clear, all-inclusive estimates with no hidden additional cost.

What are your payment terms?

We offer flexible and secure payment terms for our clients. Forms of payment typically include bank transfer and major credit cards. For specific enquiries regarding cryptocurrency payments or long-term contracts, please contact our office directly. All transactions conducted through this site are protected by robust security protocols to ensure your financial safety.

Do you offer empty legs or a membership programme?

Yes, we provide access to discounted empty leg options — positioning flights by aircraft heading to your desired destination. Availability for these is dynamic and can be found via our team or website. For clients who fly frequently, we can also arrange a tailored membership programme or term contract, offering fixed rates, guaranteed availability, and a suite of personalised benefits. Please call our team to discuss which program best matches your travel patterns.
