     The luxury of private jet travel has been considered a divider between the haves and the have-not's for many years. With a growing variety of options and an increasing number of people who can afford private jet travel, an unprecedented number of travelers are indulging themselves in this luxury. Sure it is more expensive, but the benefits may provide a greater value in the big picture.

     One of the greatest advantages of traveling by private jet is the flexibility of destinations. Many more airports are open to private aircraft than to regular airlines. Private Jets can use 2,000 airports in Europe and 5,400 in the U.S. while commercial companies are respectively limited to 200 and 565. Any two cities can become non-stop. Non-stop and direct flights allow you to reach several destinations in just one day without worrying about lengthy and erratic connections. And, of course, in emerging countries, your operators will circumvent all the bureaucratic complications of your multi-regional travels to help you to reach your destinations more quickly.

     Another major advantage of private jet travel is the flexibility of scheduling and departure times. Depending on your arrangements, your jet can be ready for takeoff in as little as 4 four hours. This flexability is usually guaranteed. Adjustments and rescheduling of destinations and departure times can be changed at the last minute or even en route. There's never a rush to make a flight. If you're running late your flight will simply wait for you.

     At most airports private planes are handled separately at private terminals called "General Aviation Terminals". Many of these terminals are loaded with amenities and designed for comfort and convienience. Most feature lounges with complimentary beverages, snacks, television and internet. Since there are no security checkpoints the process of getting from the car to the plane is absolutely simple. Your bags go directly on the plane and there are far fewer restrictions against what you can bring on board. Many travelers feel that the on-the-ground benefits alone justify the cost of a private jet.
