Private jets, also called business or corporate jets, are aircrafts made to transport small groups of people between destinations for personal or business travel. They are usually owned by individuals or companies.

One of the main advantages of flying in a private jet is the convenience. You can take off at your preferred time without making long stops or taking connecting flights. This makes it easier to plan your flight and makes you reach your destination faster.

You can also choose the type of jet you want depending on the people you are taking and your comfort level. You can choose a very light jet that accommodates six people, a light jet for eight passengers, a mid-size jet for nine passengers, a super mid-size jet for 10-11 passengers, a large jet for 13-14 passengers, or exclusive airliners for larger groups like sports teams.

These jets are considered the most comfortable flying means because of their spacious nature, more amenities, and comfortable reclinable seats.

Since it will only be you and your team, you have enough privacy, making it possible to work or do other things comfortably.

You can also land closer to your destination if you have a private airstrip close to your destination instead of planning transportation from the airport. You can also fly with your pet, something you can't do on commercial airplanes.

One of the main disadvantages of these aircrafts is their hefty prices if you decide to own one. One of the main ways you can make it more affordable is through fractional ownership. This allows you to own 1/16 to ½ of the aircraft and is mainly for people who fly a lot annually.

Different companies require that you have different average flying hours to own different shares. Fractional ownership guarantees aircraft availability, access to services and maintenance, in-flight catering, and no additional fees during your flights.

Most of these agreements last for three to five years, after which you sell back your shares to the company.

Another option is getting a membership card from a charter broker or aviation services company. You can get a pre-paid card for predetermined flight hours. With a membership card, you get fixed hourly rates, guaranteed flights depending on your preferred flight hour, and no additional fees.

The card gives you access to different aircrafts in the provider's fleet, and you can renew your membership for as long as you need the services.

Before choosing fractional ownership or card memberships, consider your travel requirements, flexibility for each, and the overall cost to determine which has the most benefits. You should also research and compare different companies.
