Flying by private jet may seem like an option reserved only for the wealthy and famous. However, this perception is changing, especially with the increased popularity of private flights following the pandemic.

Surprisingly, if approached strategically, private flights can sometimes be cheaper than commercial ones, as reported by The Travel.

For those already considering flying first class, a traditional charter company may offer private jet prices ranging from $1,000.00 to $3,000.00 per flight. While this may seem expensive at first glance, when compared to the direct cost of first-class tickets without utilizing any booking strategies or discounts, flying on a private jet could potentially be equivalent or even cheaper. Additionally, you'll avoid the hassle of airport lines.

Most people are unwilling to spend thousands of dollars on a flight, even if it's on a private jet. That's why charter companies offer options like flysharing. Some companies that provide this service include SurfAir and JSX. While this isn't technically private, as it involves a small group of strangers sharing the plane, seats can cost as little as $100.00 per person.

Another option for private flying is to take advantage of empty leg flights. This occurs when charter flights have to relocate to pick up clients elsewhere. Rather than flying empty from one airport to another, companies offer these flights at nearly 70% of the original price, making private air travel not only feasible but also perhaps the most economical choice.

How to book: Contact the charter companies to find out if they offer flights with a seat or empty seat flights.

Why this tip is important: A private flight can be more economical than a commercial flight.

This tip is good for: travelers who want to bypass airport hassles to get on with their trip.
