The main reason people end up leasing a jet is because they want to move several family members and leasing a jet for a few hours is the cheapest and most time-efficient way to do so. Leasing a jet makes it more likely than a commercial flight to arrive at its destination on time The hardest thing about leasing a private jet is trying to decide what company to use.
Pick a company. Ask the other people that you will be traveling with. They might have suggestion about what companies are ideal for leasing jets, and which ones to stay away from. Another place to find out about reputable companies that lease jets would be your local airport. Someone at the customer service desk will be able to give you a list of companies that privately lease jets.
Determine how big a jet you will need. Tell the manager of the company how many people will be traveling on the jet, and how long a trip it will be. Also tell what type of amenities you want. Using this information, you will be matched with the appropriate jet.
Make sure that you arrange to meet with the captain and other members of the flight crew.
Read through all of the contracts. Make sure that your flight plan is written into the contract before you sign it. Both you and the jet’s owner should keep a copy of the signed contract.
