Air travel in 2023 is often an endurance test. Long lines, crowded planes and staffing shortages can make even a short trip tiring and frustrating…and while premium options such as PreCheck and first-class seating can help, they can’t insulate travelers from everything. It’s no surprise that private jets are becoming a more frequent alternative, with the number of flights on business aircraft worldwide more than 10 percent higher in 2022 than in 2019. For comfort, convenience and reliability, flying private typically offers advantages that commercial airlines just can’t match.
