Private Jet Charter and Customs - Book Early!

Semptember is over, and Private Jet Charter is on the threshold of its busiest time of year. Now is the time to start planning your trips for the upcoming Holiday season! Save your procrastination for your holiday shopping, because right now is the best time to prepare chartering a Private Jet for your vacation. When Private Jet Aircraft inventory is high, the highest quality Private Jets are the first to get booked, and the prices are lower. As the season picks up, inventory becomes less available, and you will end up paying more for a lesser quality aircraft.


Another very important factor to consider is Customs. All countries require some kind of advance notification of arrival. For some countries, simply filing a flight plan meets this requirement, while others may require specific written notification many days before the flight. Requests should allow ample time for processing and return reply, if required. Your Jet Charter Broker will take care of all this for you, but the earlier you contact them, the less chance your plane will be routed to a secondary Customs location.


The last thing you want is to be held up in a different city, waiting to be processed by the slow hands of Customs, making you late, and paying for extra time and delay-related expenses.

Developing and maintaing a relationship with a Jet Charter Broker is very important, and a little homework on your part will go a long way in saving money and time, and eliminating unnecessary hassles. Booking early will ensure that every detail is covered, so that you can focus your attention on your vacation.


Now is the time for Booking: Good availability, Lower Prices, Higher quality aircraft.
