Arranging the perfect flight on a private jet is a feasible task, however, during the flight booking process, there are many nuances that can make your experience of using business aviation services easier.
Is it possible to reschedule a departure?
It happens that passengers on the day of flight are asked to postpone the flight one or two hours earlier than the scheduled time. Jet operators often refuse it. The reschedule of the approved departure time at the airport is not possible, since all permits must be requested again.
Late for flight
If passengers are late for the airport, there may be a risk of violation of the crew’s working hours. As a result, the flight may not take place.
When ordering a flight, it will never be superfluous to inquire with the broker or airline about the crew’s working hours and departure time restrictions.
Delayed flights
The influence of the headwind is sometimes underestimated. When flying at critical distances due to wind, the aircraft may require additional landing for refueling. There are also cases where a strong headwind led to a delay in flights from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
When planning a flight, one must always take into account the flight range, the occupancy of the aircraft by passengers, as well as the headwind force.
De-icing
De-icing is done just before take-off. This is due to the fact that the liquid that is used during pouring is effective for about 20-30 minutes.
If the flight is delayed for more than 30 minutes in the conditions of snowfall, repeated drowning is most likely inevitable.?
It is also worth noting that de-icing is usually not included in the price. The average cost of anti-icing treatment of a small aircraft is 1000 euros
Weather
On long-haul flights, weather conditions play a significant role: the liner’s crew can spend up to 40 minutes only to bypass a thunderstorm.
Sometimes aircraft cannot departure or land at the airport due to weather conditions. The captain of the aircraft onboard is always the most major person and the decision remains with him since safety is above all.
Connecting flight
If a passenger is scheduled to transfer from an airplane to a helicopter, it should be prepared that before boarding a helicopter at the airport of arrival you will have to go through the procedure of baggage inspection and registration again.
These flights are not counted as one, and passengers may require separate registration and inspection before boarding.
Departure Issues
It happens that when passing through passport control a passenger is not allowed to fly abroad. The flight is delayed, baggage is removed from the board and returned to the owner. This can happen for a number of reasons, including an overdue loan from a bank.
