Everything you want to know before you fly.

You hire a whole aircraft, with its crew, for your own trip. You choose the route and the schedule, you fly with the people you decide, and you use airports and terminals that scheduled passengers never see.

The aircraft is yours alone and the timetable follows you, not the reverse. You can fly from a business-aviation terminal close to the city, check in minutes before departure, and reach smaller airports closer to your destination. The aircraft is rarely faster in the air than an airliner; the time saving comes from the airport and the schedule.

Business travellers, families, groups, sports teams, event guests, and people who must get home quickly after a problem abroad. A charter is also used when no suitable scheduled flight exists.

No. Jet-VIP is a travel agency that finds, compares and organises the flight. The aircraft is flown by a licensed operator. Our job is to choose the right one for your trip, negotiate, and follow the flight from request to landing.

Three things decide: distance (range and non-stop capability), number of passengers and luggage, and the airports you need. Our fleet page lets you enter your route and passengers and shows the aircraft that fly it non-stop. We then advise on comfort and budget.

Send us your route, dates and number of passengers by form, phone or WhatsApp. We come back with compared options and prices. Once you choose, we confirm availability with the operator, you receive the charter agreement and the passenger details are collected, then we organise the flight.

We aim to reply within a few minutes, day or night. A precise price can take a little longer when we must check availability with several operators.

As early as you can: more aircraft and better prices are available. Short-notice flights are often possible, but peak dates such as holidays, major sports and trade events fill quickly.

Often yes, depending on aircraft availability, crew hours and permits. Tell us it is urgent in your first message and we start with what can actually fly.

Yes. A one-way flight can cost proportionally more because the aircraft may have to reposition, and we will tell you if a different routing is cheaper. A return on a later date is quoted as part of the trip.

Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are common. Give us the cities, the dates and where you want to sleep, and we plan the legs and the waiting time.

Changes of time, passengers or route are possible when the operator, the crew hours and the airport slots allow it. Some changes affect the price. Conditions are written in your quote and charter agreement.

From about 3–4 in the smallest jets to 19 in the largest business jets, and well over 100 in an airliner. The exact number depends on the cabin layout of the specific aircraft.

You pay for the aircraft and the flight, not per seat. The price depends on the aircraft, the flight time, the dates, airport and handling fees, and any repositioning. That is why we quote each trip: it is free, we compare several options, and the price is clear before you decide.

Normally the aircraft, the crew, fuel, insurance and the positioning needed for your flight. Airport, landing and handling fees, de-icing, catering and ground transport can be included or listed separately: your quote states it line by line.

Stay flexible on dates and airports, choose an aircraft sized for your party rather than the largest one, and consider empty legs: flights that an aircraft must make without passengers and that may be offered at a reduced price.

Payment terms are set in your quote and charter agreement, usually before departure. Ask us for the methods available and we send an invoice.

Cancellation conditions depend on the operator and on how close to departure you cancel. They are stated in your quote before you commit. We recommend reading them, and we explain them if anything is unclear.

It depends on the route, the operator and the status of the flight. Your quote shows what is included and what applies. Ask us if you want it split between aircraft price and taxes.

The quote is free and does not commit you. You are bound only when you accept an offer and sign the charter agreement.

Most business jets can use thousands of airports, including small ones closer to your destination. For example, Paris Le Bourget, London Luton, Nice or Geneva. We pick the best-placed airport for your trip, often a business-aviation terminal with quick formalities.

Usually 15 to 30 minutes before departure at a business-aviation terminal. We confirm the exact time and meeting point in your flight brief.

The same as for a scheduled flight on that route: a valid passport or ID card, and a visa if the destination requires one. For every passenger we also need the name as on the document, nationality and date of birth, sent before the flight.

Yes. Private flights follow the same border and security rules as scheduled flights, but the checks are done in a private terminal and are usually much quicker.

Yes, on request: chauffeur transfers, a car waiting at the aircraft on arrival, a helicopter for the last leg. Tell us what you need and we add it to the quote.

A lot. Very light jets are compact; midsize jets add room to move; large jets often have a standing cabin, a separate lavatory and sometimes beds. The fleet page lists cabin height and width, so you can compare.

On some aircraft, as an option installed by the operator, and coverage can vary by region. Tell us if connectivity matters and we check it for the exact aircraft before you decide.

On long flights, some large aircraft have a divan or beds. It depends on the cabin layout of the exact aircraft, so we confirm it for the one we propose.

Yes. Tell us your preferences and any dietary needs, from a light breakfast to a full meal from a restaurant you like. Prices are added to the quote.

On larger aircraft and airliners, yes. Many smaller jets are flown by two pilots without cabin crew. The fleet page shows it for each aircraft, and we confirm it in your quote.

We share only what the operator, the airport and the authorities need to carry out the flight. Your personal data is used for that purpose only.

There is no fixed airline allowance, but each aircraft has a hold volume and a weight limit. Small jets take a few soft bags; large jets take many suitcases. Tell us what you bring and we choose an aircraft that fits it.

Yes, usually in the cabin with you. Entry rules for animals depend on the destination: microchip, vaccinations and health certificates. We help you prepare the documents before the flight.

Often possible. These items need space and sometimes a specific aircraft, so tell us their number and size when you request the quote.

Commercial charter flights are subject to aviation regulation, with trained crews and aircraft maintained to approved programmes. The key is to fly with a licensed operator, which is part of our selection work.

We propose operators that hold a valid air operator certificate for the flight. You can ask us for it. We also consider the aircraft, its availability and the safety information operators publish.

The operator holds the insurance required for commercial flights. We can show you what applies to your flight. For your own trip (cancellation, health), personal insurance remains your choice.

It is a flight a jet makes without passengers to reach its next mission or return to base. That leg can be offered at a reduced price. Route and schedule are set by the operator and may change, so it suits flexible travellers.

We organise private return flights for healthy travellers when scheduled flights are cancelled, full or unavailable. Tell us where you are, where you need to go and how many you are: we search what is possible.

Yes: from a family with children to a delegation or a sports team. Depending on size we propose a business jet or a full-size airliner, and we plan the luggage and ground handling.

We can look for a flight out of a risk area when airspace and airports allow it. We tell you clearly what is possible and what is not, because permits and safety decide, not us.

Medical transport with a medical team is handled by our specialist division, ambulanceflight.com, with its own team and procedures. For a healthy traveller who only needs a private flight, you are in the right place here.

Yes, for large groups or special requirements. These aircraft carry from about 100 to 180 passengers in a standard layout, or a smaller number in VIP versions.

You speak directly to the head of the company, not a call centre. We compare options across operators, advise what fits your trip and follow the flight until you land.
