Skip the Summer Chaos: Why Families Are Choosing Private Jet Travel
Summer is peak season for family travel – and peak season for airport meltdowns, crowded terminals, and overbooked flights.
That’s why more families are flying private this summer. Not for the extravagance – but for the ease, comfort, and control.
Here’s why private jet travel makes all the difference when traveling with kids, pets, and tight summer schedules.
1. Say Goodbye to Airport Stress
Flying private means:
Skipping TSA and check-in lines entirely
Departing from private terminals (FBOs) with secure parking
Boarding in under 10 minutes, with no gate changes or delays
You decide when to fly – and you’re the only ones on board.
2. Direct to Where You Actually Want to Go
Commercial flights often force connections and long drives after landing. Private jets can:
Depart from smaller airports closer to home
Land at regional airports near your destination (think Cape Cod, Aspen, Jackson Hole, or Lake Tahoe)
Cut multi-leg itineraries into a single, smooth flight
You avoid layovers, missed bags, and mid-trip hotel stays – and reclaim time for your family.
3. Bring the Whole Crew – On Your Terms
Need to fly with:
Kids, toddlers, or elderly parents?
Pets, strollers, car seats, and bags?
A nanny, assistant, or grandparents?
Private jets are built for this. You’ll have the space, privacy, and flexibility commercial just can’t offer.

Final Thoughts
Summer travel should be about connection and comfort, not chaos and compromises.
Whether it’s a family retreat, coastal escape, or long-awaited bucket-list trip – flying private gives you the time and space to enjoy it together.
Let PorterJets handle the logistics, so you can focus on the moments that matter.
