Here at Macair’s offices at John Wayne Airport, we often receive phone calls and e-mails from interested customers asking how exactly to go about booking a private jet charter for themselves, their family, or their boss.
Admittedly, the perspective of chartering a corporate aircraft for your travel needs may be daunting at first, but really there is not much to it at all. Here is a little step-by-step guide to ensure your most comfortable and cost-effective solution:
- Determine your needs and requirements: where to and where from do you want to travel, when should the trip happen, how many passengers will go, and are you flexible at all in terms of departure or destination airports, and schedules. Please keep in mind that on longer routes, operational or fuel stops may be required.
- Call or e-mail our charter department with this information (949-250-1359, charter@macairinc.com); depending on fleet availability, our experts may offer you one or more aircraft to choose from for your selected route. We usually don’t have a price for you immediately, but will get back to you within an hour or so with details.
- Once you like a proposal, make sure to sign and return the proposal to us immediately to reserve your trip; this will require a credit card authorization, but you may wire the funds and we will remove the hold on your card.
- Now it’s time to let us know your fellow passengers’ full passport names, as well as any catering requirements and additional services (e.g., ground transportation) you may need.
- We will send you a comprehensive trip sheet, including all details pertaining to your flight. All you have to do is show up at the departure airport’s Executive Terminal or FBO (Fixed Base Operator) specified in your tripsheet a few minutes prior to your scheduled departure, and our pilots will welcome you personally, show you to your airplane and make sure you are comfortable and ready to enjoy the ride!
- As you can see, chartering your own private jet is easy and hassle-free! Remember: when air travel needs to be on your own terms, there is no better solution than Macair’s charter department. Call or e-mail us today so we may show you Excellence in Private Jet Charter!
