Chartered aircrafts were once considered to be only availed by wealthy folk. Times have changed and so have traveling habits so that now we have ordinary folks chartering planes for business trips or for leisure.
The one factor that influences first-timers' decision to hire an aircraft is cost. It's assumed that chartering a plane is expensive and traveling commercially a lot cheaper. The truth is flying in a chartered craft can be cost-effective depending on how often you travel, where you're traveling to and if you're traveling in a group.
Savings in cost
Frequent flyers spend a lot on commercial flights even if the cost of flying has drastically dropped in the recent past. Imagine having to shell a couple of thousand dollars every time you travel. The cost goes up even further if you travel in a group. Now imagine switching to chartered flights which are spacious, have dedicated crews and provisions to allow meetings to be held and proper meals and drinks to be served.
Elements of luxury
Luxurious elements such as better entertainment systems, plusher interiors, a more extensive menu and a choicer drinks list make traveling a whole lot more enjoyable. After all, luxury is no longer only for the rich; with more services offering the same, paying for it has become cheaper with competitive pricing.
If you've traveled first class, you know the amenities offered. Now double that to get an idea of what to expect with a chartered plane. Do remember that amenities differ depending on the type of plane so a business jet will have far more than a light aircraft flying just 30 minutes or an hour out.
Total privacy
Commercial planes just don't have the means to guarantee privacy. Even first class sections don't. Chartered planes, on the other hand, don't have this problem because almost the entire cabin is dedicated to making sure flyers have privacy in addition to the other amenities and luxuries. This allows them to hold business meetings and dinner parties for potential clients. More money will let you into literal flying palaces that rival those on the ground.
On time
Chartered flights are on time. Delays and cancellations are few because the variables that disrupt timeliness are not as many. And unlike with commercial flights where delays are intimated only at the last minute, you know well beforehand if your flight will take place as scheduled or is delayed/cancelled, giving you more time to make arrangements.
Saves time
Traveling in a chartered plane ensures that you don't have to waste time at the airport waiting for your flight. Such aircrafts can also take off and land almost anywhere so instead of being dropped at the largest airport far away from your intended destination, you'll be taken to the nearest one. As any business traveler knows, cutting time this way translates to money saved and less hassle overall.
Minimal restrictions
Commercial airlines place limitations on what you can and can't carry aboard planes. Chartered planes have fewer so you can take along objects for safe transportation. The fact that baggage stays with you at all times also means that there's less chance of having it misplaced or damaged under the weight of other people's baggage.
