Flying Private with Kids: What to Expect (and How We Make It Easier)
Flying with kids can be magical – but let’s be honest, it’s often not.
From airport lines and long walks through terminals to overtired toddlers and unpredictable delays, the commercial experience can leave even seasoned parents drained before wheels-up.
At PorterJets, we’re changing that.
For our clients with young children, we design private flight experiences that are smoother, calmer, and fully family-first – from curbside to touchdown.
Here’s what to expect when you fly private with kids – and how we help make it easier for everyone onboard.
1. Skip the Lines, Save the Sanity
With a private flight, your family avoids:
TSA lines, boarding zones, and crowded terminals
The stress of rushing kids through security or sprinting to gates
Having to arrive hours before departure
Instead, you’ll arrive at a private terminal (FBO), where your car pulls up directly next to the aircraft.
No lines. No strangers. No tension.
PorterJets coordinates everything in advance so your family simply boards, relaxes, and goes.
2. You Bring the Environment – & the Comforts
Private flying means:
Room for car seats, strollers, diaper bags, and toys
Personalized inflight meals and snacks (or food from home)
Quiet cabins for naps, stories, or screen time
Familiar faces, not crowded strangers
Whether your child sleeps best with white noise or wants their favorite blanket on board, we help make the aircraft feel like an extension of home.
3. Shorter Travel Days, Fewer Meltdowns
Flying private often eliminates layovers, long delays, and late-night arrivals.
You land closer to your final destination, avoid baggage claim waits, and get to your hotel, villa, or family home sooner – which means fewer transitions, fewer overtired moments, and a better experience for everyone.
We can even coordinate PorterGT ground service with car seats installed, so your entire journey stays smooth and seamless.
4. We’ve Flown with All Ages – & All Needs
Every family travels differently. We’ve helped clients fly with:
First-time flyers (as young as 10 weeks)
Kids with sensory sensitivities
Teens who just want WiFi and snacks
Multi-generational family groups with grandparents onboard
Our charter team works directly with parents, nannies, or assistants to understand what your kids need to feel safe, rested, and seen.
Final Thoughts
Flying private with kids isn’t about indulgence – it’s about control, comfort, and care.
When your family travels with PorterJets, you get more than a plane. You get peace of mind.
Let us make your next family trip something everyone looks forward to – from the moment you leave home to the moment you arrive.
