Private Jet Charter from the Bahamas

For a domestic leg, a day or two is usually enough and same day departures are often possible when an aircraft is positioned nearby. International arrivals, small island fields and holiday weekends are different: slots, handling and crew duty limits all tighten and the best cabins go early. Send the date and the two ends of the trip as soon as they are firm and the charter desk will tell you what is available and what booking early would gain you.

It depends on distance, passenger count, luggage and the airport at each end. Light cabins suit short legs with a small party, midsize cabins add range and comfort and heavy or long range cabins carry a full group across an ocean. Runway length and altitude at the destination can rule larger aircraft out, particularly at resort and mountain fields. Our flight planners set out the realistic options for your route with capacity, baggage and range stated for each, so the choice is made on facts rather than pictures.

Customs and immigration are cleared at a private terminal rather than a public hall, which is usually a matter of minutes. Our team files the arrival and departure paperwork, confirms the port of entry and sends a document checklist once the booking is confirmed. Every passenger needs a valid passport and any visa their nationality requires and children need their own documents. The charter desk reviews your party before the day so nothing is discovered at the aircraft.

Luggage is planned rather than assumed, because baggage space varies with the cabin, the passenger count and the fuel required for the leg. Soft bags load better than hard cases in smaller aircraft. Golf clubs, skis, dive gear and pushchairs can usually be carried when they are declared at booking. We agree your allowance before the flight and will tell you early if the load plan needs adjusting. Baggage capacity for your aircraft is stated on your charter agreement.

Yes. Catering, beverages, cabin temperature, seating and service style are all set before departure and dietary requirements are passed to the caterer rather than to the crew on the day. A private chef can be arranged on larger cabins where the galley allows it and celebrations can be dressed on board with the operator's agreement. Tell us the preferences once and they are held on your profile for future flights, so the brief does not have to be repeated.

Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. The one thing we ask is that you tell us at the enquiry, with the type of animal and its weight, so the seating and the load plan are right from the start.
