Private Jet Travel, Made More Accessible: Rethinking Luxury for Families, Elders, and Everyone in Between

Rethinking What Luxury Really Means

Private aviation has long been associated with exclusivity, speed, and status – but true luxury isn’t just about extravagance. It’s about ease, inclusivity, and thoughtfulness. For many travelers, that means seamless mobility, peace of mind for family members, and accommodations that anticipate real-life needs – not just aspirational lifestyles.

At PorterJets, we’ve been quietly redefining what luxury air travel looks like – and who it serves.

 

Accessibility Beyond ADA

While accessibility is often thought of in terms of physical disability, the concept is far more expansive. Our clients include:

 

  • Multi-generational families traveling with children and grandparents alike

  • Elder travelers who require simplified boarding or additional assistance

  • Parents of neurodivergent children seeking quieter, more controlled environments

  • Travelers with temporary injuries or mobility limitations

  • Service animals and pets with specialized needs

 

Each requires a tailored approach – from aircraft selection to in-flight experience to on-the-ground logistics.

 

How PorterJets Builds Accessible Luxury

We take a proactive, human-first approach that combines logistical precision with personalized care:

 

  • Aircraft fit matters. Some jets have wider aisles, lower boarding heights, or accessible lavatories – and we consider these options depending on the travel party.

  • Mobility accommodations. Whether it’s arranging vehicles with ramps or assisting with pre-boarding needs, we coordinate end-to-end.

  • Flexible timing. We help reduce unnecessary stress by building flight plans that accommodate care schedules, medications, or timing flexibility.

  • Discreet service. For those with sensitive circumstances, we ensure privacy and discretion – while maintaining white-glove support.

 

Why This Matters Now

As the private travel audience diversifies, so do their needs. Families are chartering for milestone celebrations. Older adults are flying private to avoid long commercial transfers. And for many, accessibility is a prerequisite, not a perk.

Our job is to remove friction at every turn – so no traveler, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance, feels like they’re asking for a favor.
