With Vector Jet, you’re not just booking a plane - you’re shaping a travel experience that works for you.
How much luggage can I bring on a private flight?
Luggage capacity varies by aircraft type, passenger load, and flight distance, but flexibility is a core advantage of private charter. For instance, a Cessna XLS+ (7-seater) typically allows one standard suitcase per passenger on a 3-hour trip; with only three guests, you could carry up to 10 bags-the limit being volume, not weight. Heavy jets like the Embraer Legacy 650 offer over 5m² of baggage space, accommodating not just suitcases but skis, golf clubs, musical instruments, or event equipment. To ensure your gear travels with you, always confirm exact allowances with your flight manager when finalising your trip. Unlike commercial carriers, there are no rigid baggage rules - we tailor solutions to your needs. This is especially valuable for business delegations, events, or relocations where gear is part of the mission. Remember: fuel requirements and balance calculations can affect available space, so early disclosure helps us optimise your load. With thousands of aircraft in our network, we’ll find the perfect option that fits both your group and your luggage - without compromise.
Is the check-in procedure unique for private flights?
Absolutely. The private charter experience begins with streamlined ground logistics that skip the stress of commercial terminals. At major airports worldwide, you’ll use a dedicated General Aviation terminal (FBO), equipped with on-site customs, immigration, security, and even duty-free - so formalities take minutes, not hours. Passengers typically arrive just 15–20 minutes before departure, making tight connections or last-minute changes far easier to manage. This level of convenience is a key reason executives, families, and high-net-worth individuals choose flying private. Whether your arrival or departure is in London, Dubai, or South America, the process remains consistent: discreet, efficient, and personalised. These facilities are operated by licensed providers who meet strict international accreditations, ensuring safety without sacrificing speed. Your flight manager coordinates all ground handling in advance, so you never wait or wonder. It’s not just faster - it’s a smarter way to travel, giving you back precious time before and after your flight.
Are pets permitted on board?
Yes - charter private flights are the most comfortable and humane way to travel with pets, as they stay with you in the cabin for the entire journey. However, specific legal and health requirements apply: a valid pet passport or Animal Health Certificate, microchip, current rabies vaccination, and depending on destination tapeworm treatment (mandatory for entry into the UK). You must also land at a DEFRA-approved airport such as Biggin Hill, Farnborough, London Oxford, or Luton. Crucially, notify your flight manager at booking stage, as not all operators accept animals and policies vary across organisations. We’ve arranged thousands of successful pet transfers globally and will verify operator rules, documentation, and routing to ensure full compliance. Our team stays in touch with local vets and authorities if needed, going beyond basic coordination. This attention to detail reflects our commitment to utmost comfort - for every member of your party, furry or not. When you charter private, your pet isn’t cargo - they’re part of your travel experience, and we treat them as such.
What is your environmental commitment?
We are committed to responsible flying. For every flight, we offer a voluntary carbon offset programme, investing in certified environmental projects. Furthermore, we actively promote the use of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and partner with operators investing in new, fuel-efficient technology. You can find more information on our website’s blog or LinkedIn for updates on our green initiatives. This commitment is a key part of our future - focused work, aiming to reduce the impact of private charter travel.
