10 amenities that the passengers of private jets can avail themselves of
In the times when flying on regular routes has become increasingly burdensome, the more affluent people throughout the world are taking advantage of numerous amenities offered by private jets.
The times when a journey on board an aircraft operated by a regular airline was associated with prestige and sophistication are long gone. The growing number of budget airlines have made flying extremely popular thus stripping it off its aura of exclusiveness and exceptionality that it had initially been associated with. The status of flying has changed so much that in fact, today, aircraft could actually be referred to as a means of mass transport – it is crowded and loud there, you need to take your own food on board and the quality of the equipment is far from perfect. Of course, there still are airlines the likes of Emirates or Qatar, but these are exceptions to the rule. If you are after full-blown luxury, it is high time you switched to flying private jets. Here are 10 amenities that you can avail yourself of on board private aircraft.
Lounges
And some lounges these are! Leather sofas, reclining seats and on-board entertainment sets, configured to cater to the needs of even the most discerning VIPs.
Regular-sized bathrooms
If you a frequent flyer, you will know how small the bathrooms on aeroplanes are. I sometimes find it hard to turn around in them. However, private jets are fitted with regular-sized bathrooms featuring a shower cabin, toilet and wash basin.
Fully-equipped kitchen
No more reheated meals! Private jet kitchens can be equipped so perfectly that even Amaro would have nothing to complain about. If a VIP can afford to, they can even take their own chef on board and have their favourite dish made at the altitude of 10,000 metres!
Bedrooms
No, I do not mean reclining seats that can serve as beds. I mean real bedrooms with a double King size bed and all typical bedroom amenities worthy of the best hotels.
Conference rooms
Do you have an important meeting that cannot wait? No problem, you can hold it on board the aircraft. A fully equipped conference room will let you have a regular business meeting, a teleconference (yes, there is WiFi) or a presentation of business results. All this can be done in a highly stylish interior – leather armchairs, a mahogany table and state-of-the-art devices.
Technology
Modern technologies are also available beyond the conference room. Internet access, the option to use the on board entertainment system and even a full-scale home cinema are must haves on board private jets.
Top notch service
Technically, the service staff is not a jet fitting 😉 However, service is something that VIPs pay special attention to and it must be of top quality. On private jets you will not have to deal with refreshment carts or wait for a long time for the beer you ordered. You can expect, though, that the service will be briefed accordingly before the flight as regards the expectations of the guests.
Personalised interiors
As regards the personalised interior, well, the sky is the limit. It really depends on the owner’s imagination and the thickness of his wallet what his jet will look like inside.
Tailor-made furniture
I already mentioned the leather sofas, reclining seats and large beds – this is the kind of furniture you can order for a private jet. In fact, it is usually all about having a home away from home for the time of the airborne journey. Favourite furniture around you will certainly make it more likely.
Take your pets on board
Whoever has flown with their pet is aware of what an ordeal it is (especially for the animal which has to spend the flight in the luggage compartment). Taking your pet on board a private jet is not a problem, provided that the animal has all the paperwork (passport and vaccinations) in order.
