Behind every world-class executive is a trusted partner – someone who keeps the calendar aligned, the chaos contained, and the travel on track. 

At PorterJets, we’ve worked with hundreds of executive support professionals who are responsible for making private jet travel happen on time, without errors, and often on short notice. We understand the pressure of making everything seem effortless – even when nothing about the logistics is simple. 

This guide is built for you – the strategic right hand. The fixer. The one who makes it all happen behind the scenes. 

Here’s how PorterJets makes booking private jet travel easy, reliable, and executive-worthy – even when the timeline is tight and the stakes are high. 

For executives, founders, consultants, and dealmakers, commercial air travel has become more than an inconvenience – it’s often a liability. 

Delayed meetings. Lost productivity. Missed connections. Time wasted in lines and lounges. 

At PorterJets, we work with business travelers who’ve done the math – and realized that private aviation isn’t just faster, safer, and more comfortable. It’s also a strategic investment with real return. 

Here’s how chartering a private jet can transform your business travel from a cost center into a competitive advantage. 

Not every trip needs to be two weeks long to be unforgettable. 

More and more of our clients – from executives to entrepreneurs to families – are embracing a new travel rhythm: the micro-trip. These are 24- to 72-hour escapes designed not to get away from life, but to return to it recharged, inspired, and reconnected. 

At PorterJets, we’re seeing micro-trips become one of the fastest-growing travel trends among ultra-high-net-worth individuals. And for good reason: they’re faster, more intentional, and more luxurious than ever before.

Here’s why this new format of travel is taking flight – and how private aviation is making it all possible. 

On May 7, 2025, the United States will begin enforcing the REAL ID Act - a federal law requiring all domestic air travelers aged 18 or older to present REAL ID-compliant identification to board an aircraft. 

This applies to all passengers flying domestically - including those traveling on private jets. 

Whether you're flying from a commercial terminal or boarding at a private FBO, the identification rules are the same. 

Here's what you need to know - and how to prepare if you fly with PorterJets or any other private aviation provider. 

When the world feels unpredictable – markets shifting, commercial flights getting canceled, geopolitical tension rising – how we move becomes more than a luxury. It becomes a strategy. 

At PorterJets, we’ve seen this firsthand: clients who never expected to fly private are now choosing charter, not to indulge – but to regain control. And increasingly, many are surprised to learn that private aviation is more accessible, strategic, and justifiable than they once thought. 

Here’s why. 

When it comes to private aviation, there are a few insider secrets that make flying even more strategic.

One of the best kept? Empty leg flights.

At PorterJets, we guide our clients through every type of charter opportunity – and empty legs are one of the smartest ways to access private aviation, whether you’re flying last-minute, planning flexibly, or simply optimizing how you travel.

Here’s what you need to know to take full advantage.

At PorterJets, the flight is just the beginning.

Our clients don’t simply travel – they experience the world with the access, precision, and seamless care that only true insiders enjoy. Behind every unforgettable journey is a team devoted to more than aviation logistics – it’s our Lifestyle Services Desk, designing extraordinary moments at every turn.

Here’s a closer look at how we transform each trip into something far greater than a point-to-point journey.

When people think about private jets, the first question is usually simple:

“How much does it cost?”

But the real question – the one our smartest clients ask – is a little different:

“What am I paying for?”

At PorterJets, we believe in transparency. Yes, private flying carries a price tag – but when you understand everything it includes (and everything it avoids), you realize you’re investing in something far more valuable than just a seat on a plane.

Let’s take a closer look at the true cost – and true value – of private jet charter.

When you picture private jet travel, you might imagine business executives or glamorous couples en route to island hideaways. But increasingly, one of the biggest reasons our clients fly private is far simpler – their kids.

At PorterJets, many of us are parents ourselves. We’ve been on both sides – wrangling toddlers through commercial airports, and later, watching our children step comfortably onto a waiting private jet, snack in hand and smile on their face.

Flying private with kids isn’t just easier – it’s transformative. Here’s what you can expect.

For decades, first class was the pinnacle of commercial air travel — white-glove service, priority boarding, lounge access, and champagne at 35,000 feet. But in recent years, a quiet shift has taken place. More and more ultra-high-net-worth travelers aren’t just choosing to fly private — they’re leaving first class behind entirely. 

 At PorterJets, many of our clients started in the front row of major airlines. But the moment they switched, they didn’t look back. Here’s why. 

Private aviation is evolving. What was once considered an exclusive luxury is now being redefined by a new generation of travelers – those who expect both elevated experiences and environmental responsibility.

At PorterJets, we understand that luxury and sustainability can – and should – coexist. Here’s how the industry is changing, and how we’re helping lead the way.

At PorterJets, we love our pets. And we mean love – they’re in the family photos, on the holiday cards, in the front seat of the SUV. Some of us even picked where to live based on proximity to the best dog park.

We’ve also made the mistake of flying commercial with them – once. One team member’s dog got lost during a layover. Another had to send their senior cat through cargo in a crate, terrified and alone. It’s not something we’d wish on anyone.

That’s why flying private with pets isn’t just a service we offer – it’s something we care deeply about. And we’ve designed every part of our travel experience with that in mind.

Travel isn’t just about the destination – it’s about how you arrive, where you stay, what you experience, and who opens the right doors. At PorterJets, we go beyond the jet: from sourcing your villa and securing last-minute dinner reservations to putting you front row at sold-out events, we design your trip around the lifestyle you live – or the one you’re ready to step into.

Flying private is no longer just a luxury – for many, it’s become a smarter, more efficient way to travel. But once you’ve experienced the freedom of private aviation, a new question often arises: Should I continue renting, or is it time to consider ownership?

Booking a private jet for the first time can feel like a big step – but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re traveling for business, celebrating a special occasion, or simply upgrading your flying experience, this guide walks you through the essentials of booking a private charter – clearly, efficiently, and without the industry jargon.
