How to Find the Right Private Jet Broker for Your Next Charter Flight

There are plenty of ways to book a private charter flight, each with its own collection of benefits (and potential drawbacks). If you want a streamlined, easy, and comfortable private jet travel experience, you’re going to want to work with a private jet broker.

With the industry expertise and customer service offered by private jet brokers like Hangar 7 Aviation, you’ll be able to curate a private charter flight experience that is everything you want it to be. Here are a few simple things you can do to find the right private jet broker for your needs!

Ask the Right Questions

While it’s one thing to ask about amenities and pricing (which are both important!), it’s another thing to ask questions that will reveal whether a particular private jet broker is one you want to do business with. For example, a few of the questions to keep in mind when booking a private jet with a broker are:

• Are the aircraft provided by that broker properly insured?
• What level of experience does the crew have? 
• How many hours of flight time experience does each pilot have?  
• How often are the planes maintained?
• How quickly can a private charter flight be ready for takeoff after you’ve booked it?

These are just a sample of the kinds of questions you can (and should) ask before booking a private jet. There are a lot of other questions you can ask as well, but the bottom line is this: you can never ask too many questions. 

“Remember,” Forbes says, you’re spending “money to charter a plane. If the broker doesn't have time now to answer questions about their experiences, how they source aircraft, and so forth, what will you get when there's a problem?” 

Do the Right Kind of Research

One of the best ways to find the right private jet broker for your needs is to start by asking your peers for recommendations, “and then interviewing brokers much like you would choose a financial planner or interior decorator.” And don’t be afraid to ask for client references, too!

Doing your research means going beyond the answers a broker gives you in response to your questions. If you want a complete view of whether or not a private jet broker has the services you need for flying private, then you need to hear from them and from their customers. Positive testimonials from real clients are something you can trust.
