Category: Private Jets

When it comes to private aviation, the experience is much more than just a mode of transportation–it’s an embodiment of personalized luxury, time efficiency, and unparalleled convenience.

Yet, as one steps into the dazzling world of private jets, the various types of private jets can feel a bit overwhelming. Each jet offers a unique blend of range, capacity, amenities, and performance that sets it apart, thereby suiting a myriad of diverse travel needs. How do you discern which private jet type is the perfect match for your travel requirements?

In this article, we demystify the world of private aviation by breaking down the key characteristics and distinctive features of various jet classes – from very light jets to heavy jets. Whether you are a seasoned flyer seeking to better understand your options or a newcomer dipping your toes into the realm of luxury travel, this article will provide valuable insights into the world of private jets.

Let’s take a look at the differences between various types of private jets.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Private Jet

Certain factors play a large role in deciding what type of jet will work best for each traveler. This helps to narrow down the many options available so that you can find the optimal type. When booking a charter, be prepared to discuss these things with your concierge team so that they have an idea of what you are looking for.

Factors to Consider:

The number of passengers. You will need to determine how many people will be traveling with you so that you have a jet equipped to handle them. For instance, if you are the only one traveling, it doesn’t matter how small or large of a jet you choose. However, if you are traveling with 12 passengers, you will need to make sure the private jet is equipped to handle that many passengers before booking.

The range of travel. One thing everyone loves about private travel is not having to deal with layovers or connecting flights. So you surely are not going to want to have to stop for the jet to refuel. To avoid this, you need a jet that can travel to your destination without having to stop.

Cabin space and amenities. What is it you are looking to do while onboard? Are you going to be bringing a lot of luggage with you? Will you be needing strong inflight connectivity? Do you look forward to sleeping in a bed while traveling?

You will want to ensure that the private jet you choose has all of these things and more so that you are able to make the most of your experience. Once you know what you are looking for, you can narrow down the type of jet you will need.

So, how many types of jets are there? You may be surprised.

Very Light Jets

Very light jets are one of the smallest types of private jets. They are the perfect option for those passengers only traveling short distances, such as 3 hours or less of flight time.

One of the benefits of very light jets is that they can have access to smaller airports and runways that other private jets cannot even access. As a result, it opens up your possibilities for destinations.

Very light jets can often accommodate anywhere from 4 to 7 passengers and have a small lavatory onboard. And while you may get some complimentary refreshments, you won’t find much of a galley on these jets – or a flight attendant.

Light Jets

Light jets are slightly bigger – and they have the ability to travel a little bit further. On average, they fit about 6 to 8 passengers (or more) and can hold quite a bit of luggage. You will find comfortable seating, an enclosed lavatory, and a small galley. But, again, no flight attendant will be on board this flight.

Mid-Size Jets

Mid-size private jets are great for those who are looking to travel longer distances – about 5 hours of air travel time, or so. Though they are great for any short or long trip.

Most mid-size jets have space for about 5 to 10 passengers, depending. And there is plenty of space for them to move around comfortably.

Depending on the jet itself, you will have a lavatory, but it may include a shower, too. And many of the chairs will turn into beds for those looking to get some sleep. Hungry? You will often find a full galley, along with a flight attendant on these flights.

Did we mention that there is additional space for luggage too?

Mid-size jets are stylish, comfortable, and convenient. They come with a great deal of inflight entertainment so that travelers can remain in contact with everyone on the ground, whether for work or personal reasons.

Super Midsize Jets

Are you looking for large, roomy cabins and a jet that can travel about 7 hours to your destination? Maybe room for 8 to 10 people or so? Perhaps this is your category.

Super midsize jets can go the distance – and let you get around while you do. You can walk freely, sit back, and watch a movie on the entertainment system, take a nap, visit the bathroom, enjoy a nice meal, and more.

High levels of comfort come with a super mid. You will also enjoy the nice treatment from your flight attendant, too.

Heavy Jets

Heavy jets are one of the most common categories for larger jets. So much so that they can hold anywhere from 10 to 19 people depending on size. And they are jam-packed with amenities.

• Large cabins with ample space to move around
• Comfortable seating areas
• Inflight entertainment
• Two flight attendants
• A full galley
• An executive or club-style layout
• Designated sleeping areas

These jets are able to travel up to 9 hours or so – without having to stop to refuel. This means they are the perfect option for international travel.

If you want to experience luxury when you travel, consider flying private. Not only do private luxury jets offer you the convenience and flexibility of being able to travel on your own schedule, but you won’t have to deal with the hassles of commercial flights either. And did we mention that it is much more comfortable?

But not all private jets are created equal.

The most luxurious jets are those that come with the latest amenities and features, as well as a level of comfort and convenience that you won’t otherwise find.

What Makes Private Luxury Jets Luxurious?

There are a few things that set certain luxury jets apart from others. It comes down to the comforts of seating, food, and entertainment.

For instance, you won’t be sitting elbow-to-elbow with strangers. Instead, one of the biggest luxuries of flying private is the space. Private jets are much roomier than commercial airliners, so you have plenty of room to spread out and relax. You can choose to sit in a comfortable seat, recline back, or stretch out and lie flat in a bed. And, yes, there is always plenty of space to get work done or engage in other activities.

Entertainment is another big luxury. Most private jets come equipped with state-of-the-art entertainment systems that feature TVs, movies, music, and games. You can also typically connect your own devices to the system, so be sure to bring them with you.

Food is different when flying on a luxury private jet. You won’t have to worry about a mini bag of pretzels coming your way. Instead, you can enjoy a delicious meal personalized for you. Depending on the jet, it may be cooked onboard – or catered and delivered fresh before takeoff.

A few other things that make private luxury jets so luxurious are:

• Privacy. Flying private means that you can travel without having to share your space with other passengers. And this means a lot – especially if you need to get some work done during the flight or would like to enjoy relaxed conversations with those you are traveling with.
• Flexibility. With a private jet, you can fly whenever you want, wherever you want without worrying about pre-set flight schedules or awful layovers.
• Comfort. Private jets are equipped with all the amenities you need to relax and enjoy your flight, such as seating, bedding, stocked galleys, in-flight entertainment, and more.
• Security. Flying private gives you peace of mind knowing that you’re traveling in a secure environment. Flight crews are highly trained and the jets themselves have high safety ratings.

Here are a few of the most luxurious private jets used in private charters.

The Global Express

The Global Express is a heavy jet that is perfect for traveling internationally. Due to the experience it provides, it is often the first choice of many business executives who are traveling a distance.

Measuring in at 42’ long and over 8’ wide, this jet is huge – and it surely doesn’t feel like a little jet. It can hold up to 12 passengers and offers club-style seating to make the space feel even more relaxed and enjoyable.

On board, you will have access to exceptional inflight entertainment, including LED monitors. A full galley and lavatory also round out the amenities.

The Global Express will come with a flight attendant so you always have what you need.

The Gulfstream G500

Another heavy jet, the Gulfstream G500 has a large cabin that can hold up to 16 passengers. It even has room for 9 passengers to sleep.

Size-wise, it is a very roomy jet – 42’ long and over 7’ wide. It is the epitome of luxury with a stateroom that has 4 panoramic oval windows. And, again, comfortable club seating.

Passengers can enjoy the in-flight entertainment system as well as delicious food from the galley.

From takeoff to landing, the Gulfstream G500 provides passengers with a highly enjoyable experience.

The Gulfstream GIV-SP

The Gulfstream GIV-SP is one of the most popular private jets in the world – and for good reason. It offers a level of luxury and comfort that surpasses other jets in its class.

So, what makes the Gulfstream GIV-SP so wonderful?

The space it offers plays a big role. It is a 16-passenger heavy jet with a very spacious interior – with a cabin that is 28’ long and 6’ 6” wide, which gives passengers plenty of room to spread out and relax. Comfortable seating is always found with some being able to turn into a bed allowing you to get some shuteye while traveling.

A galley on board allows passengers to enjoy food and beverages – even full meals – while flying high in the sky.

Combine all of this with a lot of in-flight connectivity and it makes for a wonderful experience.

The Bombardier Challenger 605

The Bombardier Challenger 605 is another really popular private jet, especially among charters. This is likely due to the great amount of comfort and luxury that it brings passengers – as well as its high safety rating.

The Challenger 605 also has a lot of space for travelers to move within it, measuring 27’ long and 6’4” wide. It can usually hold up to 10 passengers.

Comfortable seating, a galley, and great in-flight entertainment systems can enhance one’s overall experience. But it does not stop there.

With a Challenger 605, you will enjoy a private lavatory – sometimes one for travelers and a private space for the flight crew. Plus, you will almost always have a flight attendant present on these flights.

The extra luggage space you will find on this aircraft is almost always a plus, too.

Private jets are known for their luxury and their high levels of comfort. They all come with lots of privacy and conveniences. And they are the epitome of glitz and glamour even though everyday people regularly use them. 

Whether or not you have much experience with private jets, you know that there are different sizes and different types of jets available. 

Below is a breakdown of the different categories most private jets will fall into. Which one is right for your trip? 

Very Light Jets

Very light jets are those that are designed to handle short distances with minimal passengers. They are light and small which makes them incredibly efficient. While they may not be the most luxurious jets on the list, they are still comfortable. 

You may hear these jets referred to as ‘personal’ jets due to their size. But that doesn’t mean it only holds one passenger. Jets that fall into this category hold, on average, 4 to 6 passengers. And, they can travel a distance of about 500 to 1,000 miles before having to refuel. 

Don’t be surprised to not find a lavatory onboard, either. Though this usually isn’t too big of a deal since this type of jet is usually used for quick flights. 

Is a very light jet right for you? If you are looking to travel a short distance alone or with a couple of additional passengers and you are looking for the most efficient way to get where you are going, this could be a great option. You will find this is usually the most affordable private jet charter, too. 

Light Jets

Light jets have a little more bulk to them, compared to very light jets. They have extra space to move around, extra seating, and extra space for luggage. And most will have a lavatory on board. Why? Because light jets can go further – so someone is sure to have to go.  

Light jets have enough space to carry up to about 6 passengers, though this can vary from jet to jet. And, they can travel roughly 1,500 miles without needing to refuel. 

Light jets are great for traveling throughout the U.S. 

Midsize Jets

Going even bigger, midsize jets are the ones that can offer you a trip from one coast to the next without stopping – including everywhere in between. This is the size of jets that begin to get even more comfortable and luxurious. 

When you choose a midsize jet for your charter, you can expect a great deal of inflight connectivity, lots of luggage space, and even space to get up and move about. They often come with more amenities, too. 

Overall, midsize jets are a perfect choice, whether you are traveling for work or for fun. They easily hold up to about 8 to 10 passengers without feeling overcrowded. And they can travel between 1,400 to 2,500 miles without having to stop. 

And, yes, you will find a private lavatory and galley on board for your convenience. 

Super Midsize Jets

Super midsize jets are the next size up when it comes to private travel. These are larger and can travel greater distances than the others we have discussed thus far. And the variances in them get even greater when it comes to how many passengers they can hold and the distances they can travel. Though, expect a super-midsize jet to be able to carry a maximum of 10 to 12 passengers comfortably. 

These are perfect for those who are branching out and looking for a private transatlantic flight. Most in this category have a range of 3,000 to 4,000 miles before needing to stop.

Often referred to as super mids, these jets are very popular amongst business executives and those looking for some of the best in comfort, amenities, entertainment, and more. They offer top-notch connectivity and usually come with a flight attendant. 

You will find ample luggage space, a private lavatory, and a galley. 

Heavy (Business) Jets

Heavy jets, a/k/a business jets, are some of the largest private jets. They can often hold up to about 18 to 20 people comfortably and can travel abroad quite easily. Most have a range of about 7,000 to 7,500 without stopping. Don’t let their name cause you to think they are slow – because they can travel at top speeds, allowing you to arrive at your destination quickly.

Many heavy jets are decked out in incredible surroundings that allow you to sit back and relax while you travel. You may sleep, enjoy a catered meal, indulge yourself in the inflight connectivity, get work done, and more. 

These jets typically have two lavatories and even a full-size galley for cooking. But you won’t have to worry about preparing the meal because you will have a flight attendant who will ensure you have everything you need for a great flight. 

Jumbo Jets

The last category – jumbo jets – are the largest category of private jets. These hold about 50 to 60 passengers. Unless uniquely designed (some even look like an office or living room in the sky), most of these jumbo jets are set up similarly to commercial jets, but with more comfortable seating and amenities.

They can travel intercontinental and can go 10 hours or even more without having to land.

If you have made the wise decision to book a private jet charter for your next getaway, you are well on your way to a luxurious and unforgettable experience. However, if this is your first time doing so, you may be surprised to find out that you get to decide which jet you choose. 

There are so many different jet sizes and inflight amenities that it may be tough to decide the best option. And, since you are an avid traveler and not an aviation expert, knowing which one to choose can be confusing and overwhelming. 

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be.

Doing your research (as you are doing right now) can help guide you in the right direction so that there are no unwanted surprises on your day of travel. 

To get you started, here are a few factors to consider when choosing the right private jet for your trip. 

Look for a Convenient Home Base

Choosing a jet that has a convenient home base means that everything you need for your flight is close by. If you are in the Los Angeles area, for instance, working with a charter company out of Miami doesn’t really do you much good. Opting for one that runs out of Van Nuys or Camarillo, on the other hand, makes it easy. 

Your concierge team is so close and can make your entire trip more personable. And this will enhance your overall experience. 

Get to Know Your Destination

While most airports can accommodate any size private jet, there are exceptions. This is why it is a good idea to take a closer look at your destination. You may need to narrow down your choices based on which jets will fit on the runways. 

Accessing smaller, private airports can get you closer to your destination – and can be your only way to certain remote destinations. Unfortunately, some of these airports cannot handle jumbo jets or heavy jets. So be sure to take this into consideration. 

The Number of Passengers

Every jet is different when it comes to the number of passengers it can accommodate. Even if two jets are the same make and model, they may vary in how many passengers they hold due to uniquely designed interiors.

It is best to work with a charter team to choose the aircraft that will best meet your passenger requirements. In the meantime, it doesn’t hurt to learn about the different types of aircraft and the approximate number of passengers they can handle. 

• 2 to 4 passengers: Very light jets
• 6 to 7 passengers: Light jets 
• 7 to 8 passengers: Super-light jets 
• 8 to 9 passengers: Midsize jets
• 8 to 10 passengers: Super-midsize jets 
• 10 to 16 passengers: Large jets 

Remember, you want to ensure that you have a seat for every passenger – especially for safety reasons. However, you also want to make sure that you have enough room for everyone onboard to feel comfortable for the duration of the flight. 

Going the Distance

Private aircraft will have to stop to refuel if the flight distance is longer than what the aircraft can handle. To have a nonstop flight with enough fuel to get you from one point to the next, you will want to take a look at the different aircraft and the distances they are able to travel. 

For the most part, a jet’s range is tied very closely to its size.  

Below is a very general overview that can give you an idea of distance based on size:

• Light jets can travel anywhere between 1,200 nautical miles to 2,500 nautical miles 
• Midsize jets can travel anywhere between 1,800 nautical miles to 3,300 nautical miles 
• Heavy jets can travel anywhere between 2,500 nautical miles to 4,750 nautical miles

Special Accommodations

Finally, you always want to consider any special accommodations you may require – or desire. 

Flying private comes with the ability to have a lot of personalizations. So if you are taking a business trip and expect to get work done with your colleagues while in the sky, you may want to have a certain seating/table arrangement or ratio. Perhaps you are taking a family trip with kids and you need to be able to keep them occupied with an inflight entertainment system. Or, maybe you and your buddies are heading out for a golf getaway and you are all bringing your clubs, requiring a luggage compartment capable of handling the volume. 

Remember private jets are much different than flying commercial. You can have certain refreshments and snacks on board, a catered meal, and so forth. You may even request to have a flight attendant on board the flight. 

Are you looking for the most comfortable and luxurious private jet experience or are you just wanting to get to and from your destination in the most affordable way possible? 

Consider all the things that will make your trip complete and choose a private jet that can fulfill it.

Flying private gives you access to different types of incredibly luxurious aircraft. And although none will provide you with the same experience you will find on a commercial aircraft (thankfully), they each give you their own experience. 

Private aircraft come in different sizes and with different offerings. For instance, some have a galley and others don’t. 

So, whether you are booking your flight today and want a better understanding of what is available – or you are booked on a Cessna Citation X and want to know what you can expect – we’ve got everything you need to know. 

Here are the many amenities of the Cessna Citation X as well as additional information that can help you make informed decisions when booking. 

The Cessna Citation X: The Basics

The Cessna Citation X has often been dubbed the fastest private jet in the world, getting you where you need to be  – fast. Thanks to the power behind two Rolls-Royce engines, it can reach speeds of 700 mph. Though it is worth mentioning that the high speed of the Citation has now been topped by its successor, the Citation X+. 

Being fast isn’t all that this midsize private jet is known for. It comes with quite a few other beneficial specs, too, including: 

• Passengers: 8
• Sleeps: 2
• Year of model/remodel: 2000/2018
• Range: 3100 nautical miles
• Baggage Capacity: 54 cubic feet
• Lavatory: 1
• Cabin Width: 5.6’
• Cabin Height: 5.7’
• Cabin Length: 23.5’

 

Citation X is known for giving passengers a smooth and efficient flight to wherever their destination is taking them. This is thanks to the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Controls) that work with the engine to get you to your destination with maximum efficiency. 

You must understand that this jet can handle both short trips and international trips with ease and great performance. 

Amenities of the Cessna Citation X

You simply cannot choose your private jet solely based on specs though, can you? Not at all. While you want to make sure the jet is safe and efficient, as a passenger, you are more concerned about what is going on inside the Cessna Citation X than the size of its wing or what engine it has. And let us tell you – this jet has a lot going on inside.  

The amenities on this jet are enough to make those who have flown on it come back time and time and time again. 

Comfortable seating. The 8 leather chairs you will find throughout the cabin are very comfortable. They make you forget you are sitting in an aircraft seat. What’s more, two sets of chairs are designed to be used to create two beds. You can comfortably get some shut-eye so you feel rejuvenated and ready to go. 

Complimentary Domestic WiFi. First, connectivity while in-flight is a big deal. This allows you to do everything from checking your emails, scrolling social media (i.e. posting a selfie on Instagram while inside your Citation X), binging the latest Netflix series, taking conference calls, and otherwise handling business in the sky. 

In-flight connectivity keeps you in touch with those on the ground even while you are traveling. For so long, air travel meant being shut off from the rest of the world for the duration of your flight, but this is no longer the case at all. Especially on this Cessna. 

And, to prove our point, your private jet comes equipped with an Aircell Iridium flight phone so you are always in touch when you need to be. 

DVD/CD Entertainment System with LCD Monitors. For those who are less about staying connected and more about staying entertained, the Cessna Citation X has you covered. This private jet comes with a DVD/CD entertainment system and full-screen LCD monitors throughout the interior. That means you can watch any selection of DVDs or jam out to some music while on board. Of course, you can always put in a Pure Moods cd, close your eyes, and drift off to sleep. 

For those who enjoy monitoring their flight and knowing where they are at any given moment, the LCD monitors can also reflect current flight status. 

Power Outlets. Yes, you will even find two power outlets on board because it is imperative that your devices stay charged so that you can stay connected. Plus, this gives you one less thing to worry about when you reach your destination because you will be charged up and ready to go. 

The Galley and Lavatory on Citation X

Who doesn’t want refreshments and snacks while on board a flight? It doesn’t matter if you are traveling for a few minutes or a few hours – this is something we have become accustomed to. The forward galley on the Cessna Citation X is equipped with a microwave oven and coffee dispenser. 

You will often find an array of snacks and beverages for your enjoyment while you make your trip. But, if you’d like something more, you can always talk to your charter team before your flight. You can request any specific foods that you want, whether catering, local restaurants, or even just a particular snack or drink. 

Having a full belly as you travel just adds to the comfort of this flight. 

Of course, if you are eating and drinking, then you are going to want a lavatory, too. Citation X has an Aft lavatory with full vanity. This will give you peace of mind as you travel to and from your destination. 

Charter a Cessna Citation X

If you have ever booked a private jet charter, then you know that there are so many different options to choose from. The Citation X is perfect for business executives, families, corporate travel, group travel, or even just a happy couple on a getaway. 

So, the next time you head out on a getaway and find yourself in need of air travel, consider the Cessna Citation X. You won’t be disappointed. 

When looking for a private jet charter company, you can’t just choose the first one you come across. Rather,  you need to do your due diligence and find one that has a lot to offer. In other words, one that can meet your needs, whether for corporate or personal use – no matter what it is. 

By looking at their private fleet, you can get an idea of how well they will accommodate you today, tomorrow, and in the future. 

As you build and nurture your relationship with the company that handles your travel needs, take the time to learn about their fleet so you can rest easy knowing that you will be taken care of. 

At Sun Air Jets, we offer a wide range of private jets and features to meet the needs of every flight you take. This includes turboprops, very light jets, light jets, midsize jets, super–midsize jets, heavy jets, luxury private jets, executive jets, and business jets. 

The Need for Versatility

Private travel needs can change based on the trip. From one flight to the next, there could be different requests, a different number of travelers, different amenities required, and so forth. Versatility is key in making sure that the company you choose to do business with has everything you need to meet your travel needs. 

Imagine planning a beautiful getaway and you gather up your family and your luggage and you are waiting outside for the limo you ordered – and a smart car pulls up. It was the only thing available when you needed a ride. Now what? The same situation can arise when chartering a jet if you aren’t careful.  

Even if you are the only one going up in the air, you may have special tasks that need to get done – such as handling some work while in the sky. Therefore, you need to know that there will be a jet to accommodate you. Or, if, by chance, you decide to bring along your entire department for a corporate retreat, then you need to know that there will be a jet large enough to accommodate you then, too. 

Once you establish your relationship with your charter company, you want to know that you can always count on them. So it is important that their private fleet can meet the demand you bring. This is precisely why versatility is key. 

Sun Air Jets Charter Fleet

When you turn to Sun Air Jets for your charter needs, the different types of private jets you have access to are incredible. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Heavy Jets

Heavy jets are not always needed for everyday travel, but the need does arise. And, when it does, you know where to find one in a private fleet. Depending on the jet, they can accommodate up to 18 passengers and fly large distances without stopping. This is perfect for those traveling across the country, transatlantic or transoceanic. You can get up and move around easily, and there is plenty of space for stored luggage. 

Getting some much-needed sleep on a long flight is not a big deal either when you can fold down the seats and stretch out to sleep. Some even find this quite comfortable – and very beneficial in avoiding jet lag. 

Long-Range Heavy Jets

Looking for a jet that can accommodate several passengers and travel comfortably internationally? Then a jet such as the Challenger 605 is exactly what you need – though there are many others to choose from, too. 

Depending on the type of jet, it can reach a maximum flight distance of nearly 12 hours or 6,000 miles. That makes it comfortable for traveling nearly anywhere in the world. You will find a full galley where you can enjoy meals or have them catered, as well as refreshments – as well as a full lavatory, too. You will also have a flight attendant onboard. 

Super-Midsize Jets

Super-midsize jets hold about 8 to 10 passengers comfortably, depending on the jet, of course. And they don’t require you to skimp on luggage either, which is always a plus. These jets also have a galley and lavatory, including space to move around. 

Enjoy luxurious accommodations as you travel nonstop domestically.

Midsize Jets

Midsize jets are some of the most commonly used private jets. Don’t be surprised if a charter fleet is made up of quite a few options for this type. They can get you to and from a destination within the U.S. mainland. 

While onboard, you will find all types of amenities, such as a galley, lavatory, and a decent size baggage space. They are not as large and extravagant as you may find on the super mids or the heavy jets, but they are perfect for the traveling you will do on board the midsize. 

Light Jets

For those looking to get from one location to the next quickly – light jets can help. They are small, light, and perfect for staying within about a 1,400-mile range. Of course, the actual distance they can go will vary based on the specific jet. 

It is common for light jets to hold about 6 to 8 people. They don’t always have enclosed lavatories onboard, but it is more common than not – which many passengers appreciate. You won’t find a full galley on board, but you may still find some refreshments to enjoy. 

Due to the small capacity and short travel distance, flight attendants will be on board a light jet. 

Very Light Jets

These are the smallest jets available, usually having one pilot and about 4 passengers or so. They can travel easily throughout the U.S. and access many of the smallest airports. You are not likely to find an enclosed lavatory or a galley on this jet – but the seats are comfortable and it is private and convenient. 

A private fleet for you? At Sun Air Jets, we have a private jet for everyone. Combined with a history of excellence, we are your world-class charter company. 

Any time you fly private, you get the opportunity to have an incredible flight experience. Not only are the different types of aircraft full of comfortable accommodations, but the entire travel experience itself is fantastic. While there are many private jets to choose from, flying private with the Gulfstream G200 means you are in for a special treat. Let’s look at all it offers so you can decide if it is the right choice for you the next time you book your flight. 

What to Expect From The Gulfstream G200

The Gulfstream G200 is a high-end jet with a reputation for being a great asset. And many even argue that it is the best Gulfstream jet ever designed.

Comfortable Workspace Options

The extraordinary experts at Sun Air Jets will be able to help guide you with all the details of your journey. 

There are so many private jets in the sky at any time. All different sizes with different luxuries place a big decision in the hands of travelers who are looking to book a charter. And an even more significant decision for those looking to purchase their private jet. One of the best options on the market is the Cessna Citation X. The Citation X interior offers the luxury and comfort of all the high-end jets.

Knowing a few of the most widely-sought options is a great way to understand what is available – and what may interest you. For instance, if you are traveling with a group of 6, you need a jet that can comfortably handle everyone at your party. Or, if you intend to fly at night and want to sleep through it, you will need enough beds to accommodate everyone. Today, let’s take a look at the Citation X interior. Will it be everything you ever imagined? Will it define luxury private travel? Let’s find out! 

Overview of Citation X

Citation X is a business jet Cessna produced to boost the company’s image. At the time, they had been around for years but needed to have the class that other private jet companies did. To change that, they went all in when creating Citation X. Today, Citation X is one of the most popular jets in the sky. 

Below are a few of its specs: 

• Passengers: 8
• Sleeps: 2
• Year of Model: 2000
• Year of Refurbishment: 2018
• Range: 3100 NM
• Baggage Capacity: 54 cubic feet

This incredibly private jet has some speed behind it, too. The Citation X can make it from one coast to the other up to 35 minutes faster than other jets. So if you are looking for a jet that will quickly get you where you want to go, you’ve found it. 

Inside The Citation X Interior

So, what will you find once you step onboard the Citation X? To say luxury and comfort feels like an understatement. The interior of this jet was designed with a passenger in mind. It is made to feel relaxing and roomy – as well as functional. It is the perfect travel space for those who:

• They would like to use their time in the sky to get work done
• Are you interested in getting some sleep while on a flight
• Want to watch a movie or binge-watch the latest trending show
• want to talk and hang out with other passengers – with or without some refreshments. 

The galley on Citation X is located on the front (forward) of the jet and contains a coffee dispenser, microwave oven, and refreshment area. While you may not be able to cook a meal on this jet, you can still enjoy one. Remember that when you travel on a private jet charter, you can ask for your favorite foods to be on board – including foods from local caterers or preferred restaurants. 

One lavatory is on board, located in the jet’s rear (aft) area. This is always a bonus, especially if traveling across the country. As for in-flight entertainment, numerous amenities are offered to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Each jet has a DVD/CD entertainment system, a full-screen LCD monitor, two power outlets, and more. You can watch a movie, charge and use your devices, and have fun while traveling. Whatever you need or want to do while between destinations, Citation X provides you with the resources you need. 

And if you’d like to relax in comfortable surroundings and look out the window at the blue sky and clouds surrounding you, you can do that, too. Watch out – trying to kick back and relax on this peaceful flight may cause your eyes to close. Of course, thanks to complimentary domestic WiFi and an Aircell Iridium flight phone, you are never out of touch with those still on the ground. 

Citation X vs. Competitors

You know you have choices when it comes to your destination. But, there are many advantages to choosing private travel through using a Citation X jet over all the other travel options. Aside from other options that don’t involve air travel, you can also fly commercial airliners or any other type of private jet. 

A few advantages of Citation X include the following:

• Flexible flight travel with no pre-set flight patterns
• Luxurious, private surroundings 
• Ability to land closer to your destination thanks to private airports
• You can bring your dog along for the ride – in the cabin with you
• No connecting flights or layovers are necessary, rather always a straight-through flight
• Comfortable FBOs that make private travel on the ground as grand as in the sky
• No long lines or early check-ins are required – arrive 20 minutes before your flight

Private travel on Citation X is comfortable and luxurious with many perks. You will feel free without worrying about getting stuck in long lines at TSA checkpoints and potentially missing your flight or sitting around the gate waiting to board. Combined with the comfort and luxury you get on the flight – you will indeed have a memorable experience.

The Global Express Aircraft: All the Details

Known as a heavy or business jet, the Global Express aircraft is a little bigger than many other private aircraft, making it an excellent option for air travel from one destination to another – especially when traveling with others or looking for extra space on board.

Stepping Inside the Global Express Aircraft

You will likely find the wide-open space welcoming inside the Global Express aircraft. Movement doesn’t feel restricted, either, with most people being able to stand upright without any issues. 

The comfortable, soft chairs throughout the space can quickly turn into beds for those ready to get some shut-eye – and cut down on jet lag – while they travel. 

A few entertainment amenities you will find inside the walls of the Global Express include: 

• A Honeywell Ovation Cabin Entertainment System

If there are any particular foods you would like or catering options you’d prefer, this can be easily handled by the flight crew thanks to the full galley. Make these requests when you book, so there is time to get them on the jet for your flight. 

The Global Express aircraft will often come stocked with refreshments and snacks. And depending on the length of the flight, you will likely have a meal served, too. This full galley helps in making sure that the meal is fresh. 

Two lavatories are on board this heavy jet aircraft, one aft and one forward. The aft lavatory comes with a full vanity. 

Perks of Flying on a Private Jet 

So what are the perks of flying on a private jet like the Global Express aircraft? Oh, the list is long. While we won’t get into all the exciting details about this type of travel, we will share a few of the biggest perks.  

Time-Saving Convenience

You save a lot of time when you fly on a private jet vs. commercial air travel. There is no time spent sitting in long TSA security checkpoint lines, nor do you have to arrive at the airport two to three hours before your flight time. You arrive about 15 to 20 minutes before takeoff, board, and get comfortable. That’s it. 

Booking Flexibility

You don’t have to stick to predetermined flight plans when you travel privately on the Global Express aircraft. You instead get to choose your flight time so that it is most convenient for you. Your schedule dictates the travel times. And if you are running a few minutes late? That’s ok – call ahead. You are, after all, the passenger. 

Enhanced Safety

When you travel on a private jet, you can benefit from the professionals that care for it. A reputable charter company will employ only the best in caring for the jet’s routine maintenance and regular repairs from trained airplane maintenance technicians certified by the FAA. Further, trained pilots and flight crew make safety a top priority. 

And, because COVID is still around, you can feel confident that the jet is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between use. Not being enclosed on a commercial flight with a bunch of strangers also cuts down on your risk. 

Numerous Jet Options

Finally, when you book your private jet accommodations, you can choose the type of jet you want to fly. Global Express may be the best option if you bring a few passengers and want extra space. Consider a smaller aircraft if you have fewer travelers or just yourself. The experts who help you book your flight will be able to guide you in the best direction. 

Global Express Aircraft Final Thoughts

Are you thinking about heading out to an incredible destination this holiday season? Well, we could continue to go on and on about why flying private far exceeds other air travel options – and while one aircraft may be better than another. But you should book a flight on the Global Express aircraft and see for yourself. We guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience. 

Congratulations on deciding to fly private. Your decision means you are in for an incredible, luxurious flying experience, unlike anything you have ever experienced before in air travel. Of course, it also means that you probably have many questions. 

Relax. Traveling on a private jet is much different than your typical commercial air travel – which can be scary. But we’ve got you covered. We understand that you have questions, so we’ve got the answers. That way, when it comes time to soar in the friendly skies, you will know just what to expect and can enjoy the experience. 

Will I Have to Travel Through a Major Airport?

When you travel on a private jet, you often do so through smaller, private airports known as FBOs. These are often much less congested – with traffic and people – making them a much more convenient and pleasant experience. 

You can permanently part and walk into the FBO, but you can usually drive right up to your private jet when it is time for your flight. Pretty convenient, right? 

Should you go inside the airport or arrive a little early, you will be pleasantly surprised to see comfortable seating, lounge areas, refreshments, and many other amenities. 

How Early Do I Need to Arrive For My Flight?

You may be used to arriving for your commercial flight at least two hours in advance. Maybe even three if you travel internationally. If so, you will be pleasantly surprised to know that you don’t have to show up all that early for your private jet charter. 

You should arrive up to 20 minutes before your scheduled flight. This will allow a few minutes to get things in order, such as handling your baggage, performing final checks, etc. 

You will have some flexibility when arriving for your flight – after all, you are the only passenger. But your crew will be waiting for you, so you want to be considerate. Plus, you may have someone else waiting to take a flight on your jet in your destination city. 

If you do find yourself running behind schedule, be sure to call and let someone know. Keep in mind that you may face additional charges after a specific time. 

How is the Inside of the Cabin Different From a Commercial Airliner?

When you step on board a commercial airliner, you see nothing but a narrow aisle and a ton of seats. You have one assigned seat and sit elbow to elbow with the stranger. The amenities you get on board are often minimal at best. 

This is not the case when you climb on board a private jet. 

First, there are no assigned seats. Just seats, and comfortable ones, at that. They are often arranged club style, where they are facing one another. Some have a couch, as well. And these seats may even lay flat or turn into a bed. 

You often get amenities like a complete vanity lavatory, wi-fi, power outlets, entertainment systems, and more. Forget the small tray tables, as you will find large fold-out tables on private jets. This makes it much easier to dine, get some work done, or play a game with those traveling with you. 

The best part is that it is private. You don’t have hundreds of other passengers traveling with you. It is your space while you are in the sky – and you can enjoy it how you wish.

How Do I Know What Size Jet I Need For Flying Private?

A few factors go into determining the size jet you need. There are jets of all sizes that hold different numbers of passengers as well as travel various distances. Speaking to the experts is always a good idea to determine which is best for your travel plans. 

Considering where you are traveling, who you are traveling with, the weather conditions, the amount of baggage, what you intend to do onboard your flight, and so on can help narrow down the best choice. 

Will I Be Served a Meal?

Catered meals are generally not provided unless requested. And you usually have a thorough menu from which to order should you decide to dine while in flight. Ordering from local restaurants is often possible, too.

Some flights will have refreshments and snacks on board for your convenience. If this is something important to you, be sure to request it. 

Can My Pet Go OnBoard With Me?

Of course, your pet can come with you! Make it known when booking that you are bringing your pet so you can get on a pet-friendly private jet. Unlike commercial airlines, you may be able to let your pet roam free within the cabin. 

It is important to note that you may incur a pet fee for this flight – though this is not always the case. 

Should I Expect Any Additional Costs While Flying?

Your initial quote is for the flight itself without any extras. It includes the jet, the crew, the field, insurance or airport fees, taxes, and so on. But don’t be surprised, as you may encounter costs that were not part of your initial quote. Often these come with unforeseen circumstances, such as fees associated with weather issues, such as de-icing, inflight phone charges, meal catering, etc. 

As for tipping, it is not expected or required, but pilots and flight crew always appreciate it.
