For optimal aircraft selection, 48-72 hours is ideal. However, as a broker with extensive resources, we can often accommodate same-day requests. Regular clients can sometimes secure aircraft with as little as 4 hours' notice.
Private jets have advantages during foggy conditions: Access to multiple airports in the Bay Area, not just SFO. Ability to quickly reroute to nearby airports if needed. Modern private jets have advanced avionics for low-visibility approaches. Your charter advisor will monitor conditions and suggest optimal solutions.
Absolutely. Pets travel in the cabin with you—no cargo hold stress. No crates required in most cases. Just let us know in advance so we can prepare the aircraft accordingly.
When traveling solo, private jets typically cost more than first class. With 4+ passengers, the per-person cost often becomes comparable to first class. With 6+ passengers, it can sometimes be more economical than buying individual first-class tickets. For specific pricing, contact our team for a personalized quote.
Most modern midsize and heavy jets offer reliable Wi-Fi. Some light jets have Wi-Fi capabilities as well. We can ensure your aircraft has connectivity if that's important for your trip. Speeds typically allow for email, web browsing, and even video conferencing.
