Las Vegas Private Jet Service Packages – Not As Expensive As You Think

The industry of private jet travel has become so efficient that the price is very often not as much as you would imagine. Utilizing the services of a private charter jet broker is the preferred method for most blue chip corporations and celebrities. Most people who can actually afford to fly private don’t realize how affordable it can be.

For instance, flights start as little as $1,200 an hour up to 8 passengers. That’s about $150 per hour for each passenger!

Imagine…Flying to Las Vegas with your closet friends in a private jet… sinking a 15 foot putt on the 18th hole of what seems like paradise, and later for a round of drinks in the clubhouse.

Your imagination can become reality for less than you think. So, whether you are planning a Las Vegas bachelor party, bachelorette party, go to nightclubs and dive into nightlife or just coming to fabulous Las Vegas to experience the “real” city that never sleeps.

Executive helicopter rentals allow you to land at the hotel of your choice and have your room key ready for you as you indiscreetly, and comfortably unpack your bags.

When you charter with an experienced private jet charter broker, you will have access to an impressive selection of high quality jets. From the Learjet, Citation and Challenger, to the Astra, Falcon, Hawker and Gulf stream, Premier. Wherever you’re going, you can rest assured that your jet will be ideally suited to the mission of your trip.

Private jet charter brokers can secure private jet reservations, executive helicopter reservations, hotel reservations, exotic car rentals, outback tours, golf reservations, casino gaming hosting, convention support services, bachelor/bachelorette party planning and destination management – sky’s the limit…

Virtually every package created should be customized for each individual client. Because each group is different, we feel that their package should be as well. We customize our packages to ensure that every flight is planned with consideration for the preferences and desires that are unique to each client.

As always, safety should always be your number one concern. In addition to the basic safety minimums required by the FAA, the aircraft you charter must also comply with ARG/US Rating standards. Be sure to ask your private charter jet broker if the jet you are reserving meets these standards. These independent ratings are considered the benchmark of charter aviation safety and include comprehensive inspections of not only the aircraft, but the flight crews and carriers as well. All aircraft are under FAR (Federal Aviation Regulation) part 135 certificate.
