Of course! Just let us know in advance. the majority of the operators and aircraft owners allow pets onboard. In some cases a small cleaning fee may apply. That said, there are specific requirements that must be met when traveling with your pet, including making sure that all documentation and vaccination records for your pet(s) are correct and up to date. Dogs and cats must also be at least eight weeks old and weaned when traveling within the U.S.
Glob-Air Jet International can arrange for all of our customers to fly in comfort, including larger passengers who may be overweight. Captain’s chairs are often the ideal solution, as they’re bigger and more comfortable, but there are also other options like a multi-seat couch. Just make sure you ask your broker for a seatbelt extender.
When you fly private with Glob-Air Jet International, you can enjoy a wide range of exciting in-flight services such as: custom catering and drinks (including alcohol), flat screen TVs, access to 10,000+ films and series, newspapers & magazines, massage therapists on demand, and various entertainment options via Wi-Fi.
Crew members are required to have a 10-hour rest period within each 24-hour cycle. The maximum duty day is 14 hours and must be followed by a 10-hour rest period at their hotel. When scheduling a flight, operators usually account for 12 hours of rest instead of 10. This extra two hours allows the crew time to get to their hotel, rest for the required time, and return to the airport.
Other than the standard snacks and drinks, you can order local cuisine options for your catering on board. In short, anything that doesn’t need to be cooked can be ordered; hot food must be precooked then warmed on board.
At Glob-Air Jet International, we provide personalized service to every client. Our mission is to help educate our clients on private aviation, and we’ll guide you through the process from start to finish every time you book a private jet through us. No question is too big or too small; we want to help you understand how booking a private aircraft works. We’ll explain the best way to do it, so that you make well-informed decisions.
Yes, you can. This is a common occurrence for many private jet clients. You can fly with up to $5 million in cash as long as you declare that cash when coming through customs. For domestic trips, there’s no limit and no need to declare it.
The operator's insurance does not cover precious metals and gems. Many clients who wish to book a return flight into a country to collect gold ask this question; the insurance covers aircraft and passengers but not precious metals or gems. This requires separate insurance.
There will be certain days which are blacked out on the calendar if you use a fixed rate jet card program. You can still fly on these days, but not at the fixed rate; you’ll be charged extra. However, when you fly via private charter, there are no limits – you can fly at any time of the year.
If you’re using a fractional model or fixed-rate hourly jet cards, you’ll need to provide 10-12 hours’ notice for a private jet request. But at Glob-Air Jet International, we pride ourselves on achieving a 4-hour turnaround for on-demand charter and ad hoc clients.
Yes, it is possible to have a flexible departure when flying privately. Operators typically offer a two-hour window, but you can request a longer window as long as it doesn’t interfere with the maximum crew duty day or their next scheduled flight.
Fuel surcharges are applicable when there’s a spike in jet fuel rates. These additional charges did not exist until Hurricane Katrina, which caused damage to several oil refineries and helped spike fuel prices to $7.50 per gallon; most business models were designed with the fuel cost at $3.00-$3.50 per gallon.
