The first time we fly private, the lack of crowds can feel almost suspicious. No packed security lanes, no loud boarding calls, no rush to remove shoes. So what replaces it? Private jet security is real, but it’s built to fit private aviation’s pace and privacy. In the US, most domestic private flights don’t use
Ever stared at a quote and thought, “How did we get to that number?” Private flying can feel simple on the surface, yet private jet charter pricing has a few moving parts that add up fast. The good news is that most quotes boil down to two drivers: jet size (which sets the hourly rate)

Tipping on a private flight can feel like signing a blank check, not because the amounts are huge, but because the rules aren’t posted anywhere. Still, private jet tipping doesn’t have to be awkward. We can keep it simple: tips are usually optional, they should match the level of service, and we should never feel
