Charter Jet Services Provide Access to Over 5,000 Airports

• Security lines and other hassles at airports have made traveling more frustrating, especially for families. If you have a bunch of kids with you, airports can be daunting. A charter jet company may serve 5,000 airports, with multiple departure points from whatever city you live in. Avoiding heavy traffic, security lines and crowds at a major airport can be a time saver and worth the cost of a charter jet. For your destination, choose from three airports in the Orlando area. Orlando Executive Airport is close to downtown and good for business travelers, while Kissimmee Gateway Airport is close to the theme parks. Orlando Sanford Airport is 18 miles from the city and serves many charter flights.

• Charter jet companies let you plan your trip on their websites, just like the big carriers do. Because Orlando is such a popular destination, you have many choices. Companies like Stratos Jet Charter Services (stratosjets.com) and GiveJet (jetcharterrewards.com) are based in Orlando, and their websites offer free quotes, travel planning, information about planes and hotel information. If you're unsure about issues like safety or which planes to choose, don't be afraid to call. Charter companies are accustomed to working personally with clients.
  
  

Look into "Empty Leg" Discounts

• With 50 million visitors a year, Orlando is one of the biggest flight destinations in the world. There are many ways to negotiate a cheaper rate for your flight. "Empty leg" discounts are a great option for vacationers. If a plane has to fly from its base to pick up passengers for a booked flight, you can book passage on the empty plane and fly for hundreds of dollars less per hour. You have to be more flexible to get this discount, and you may not have your say in all the amenities, but the savings can be significant, especially in the off-season.
  
  

Rent a Privately Owned Plane

• Another option for travel to Orlando is to hire a privately owned plane when the owner is not using it. A great many airplane owners have idle jets for rent, along with pilot service. Check with a local airport for information. To reduce costs further, consider sharing a charter flight with other travelers. Charter flights can run $3,000 an hour and up (as of 2011), so unless privacy is a necessity, sharing can enable you to experience the convenience and luxury of a charter flight at half the cost. Visit sites like Share a Jet Exchange and Jet Charter Pool to explore this option.
