No strangers, no seat fights. Your family has exclusive use of the aircraft from FBO to FBO.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to fly privately with very young children or infants?

Absolutely. Private jets are as safe as commercial aircraft — all are certified by national aviation authorities. For infants, we recommend bringing a certified car seat harness. The advantage is that there are no strangers in the cabin and you can manage feeding and comfort without any disruption.

Can we bring a stroller and car seat on a private jet?

Yes. Strollers, car seats, travel cots and all standard family equipment can be loaded in the hold of most private jets without surcharges. We confirm hold dimensions when booking to ensure your specific equipment fits.

Can the catering be adapted for children's dietary needs?

Yes. When booking, share your children's ages, dietary requirements, allergies and food preferences. We work with the catering partner to prepare age-appropriate menus — including baby food, milk at the correct temperature, and toddler-friendly snacks.

What is the minimum age for children on private charters?

There is no minimum age. Newborns and infants can fly on private jets. We simply ask that you inform us of infant passengers so we can prepare the appropriate catering and discuss car seat arrangements.

How much does a private jet for a family trip cost?

Cost depends on family size, destination and aircraft. A light jet for 4 passengers on a 2-hour European flight typically starts from €6,000–€10,000. A midsize jet for 6 passengers on a London–Nice route runs approximately €12,000–€18,000. Contact us for a personalised family quote.

Can we request a stop for a long family trip?

Yes. For longer itineraries we can plan a tech or comfort stop so children can stretch, change and reset before the next leg — subject to airport slots and crew duty limits.

Do you coordinate ground transfers with car seats?

Yes. Tell us how many car seats you need at origin and destination. We arrange private transfers that match your party size and child restraints.

What if a child falls ill before departure?

Contact your concierge immediately. Depending on the operator contract and timing, we can reschedule, swap aircraft or cancel under the applicable terms — we prioritise clear options fast.
