On short routes, private aviation saves the most time proportionally. With commercial, you spend more time in the terminal than in the air. A private charter eliminates 3-4 hours of airport overhead — TSA lines, boarding, baggage claim, ground transport — turning a half-day ordeal into a quick door-to-door trip.

Private jets offer significantly more luggage flexibility than commercial flights. Most light and midsize jets accommodate golf clubs, skis, surfboards, and oversized bags. Your charter advisor will confirm luggage capacity for your specific aircraft, as island-serving aircraft may have different configurations.

No — private jets depart from Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), not commercial terminals. There are no TSA lines, no metal detectors, and no removing shoes. You arrive at the FBO, walk directly to your aircraft, and board. The entire process typically takes under 15 minutes from car to cabin.

Private jets offer significantly more luggage flexibility than commercial flights. Most light jets accommodate 6-8 bags plus golf clubs or ski equipment.

Yes — pets fly in the cabin with you on private charters, not in cargo. There are no breed or size restrictions, no carrier requirements for the cabin, and no additional pet fees.
