Aircraft Guide

Which jet is right for your trip?

There are four main categories of private jet. Each one is built for different trip lengths, group sizes, and comfort levels. Here is a straightforward breakdown so you know what to book.

4 aircraft categories, from quick city hops to long-haul transatlantic flights.

4-16 passengers depending on the jet size. More room means more luggage space too.

Trip-based recommendations. We pick the aircraft based on where you are going and who is coming.

Aircraft Classes

Four categories. Here is what each one is good for.

The main differences come down to how far you are going, how many people are flying, and how much space you want onboard.

Light Jet Quick trips, small groups, straight to the point.

Great for short flights with up to 7 people. You will not have a huge cabin, but you will get there fast and land at smaller airports closer to where you need to be.

Passengers4-7

RangeShort haul

Use caseCity hops

Midsize Jet More space, more comfort, still sensibly priced.

Good for business trips or when you need extra luggage room. Enough cabin space to actually work or relax during the flight.

Passengers6-8

RangeMedium haul

Use caseRegional business

Super Midsize The sweet spot for longer trips without going full heavy.

Flies further than a midsize with a bigger, more comfortable cabin. Perfect for routes like London to Dubai or cross-European trips.

Passengers8-10

RangeLonger sectors

Use casePremium flexibility

Heavy Jet Maximum range, maximum space, maximum comfort.

Built for transatlantic flights, bigger groups, and trips where you want a full-size cabin. Think beds, a proper galley, and room to move around.

Passengers10-16

RangeLong haul

What Changes

What you actually notice when you go up a category.

How It Feels Onboard

Light jets are compact and efficient. Bigger jets have stand-up cabins, more legroom, and quieter interiors. If you need to sleep or work, that difference matters.

Range and Fuel Stops

Book a jet that can not quite make your route and you will need a fuel stop, adding time and cost. We make sure the aircraft fits the distance.

The Right Fit

Sometimes you just need to get from A to B. Other times, especially for client meetings or group travel, a nicer cabin genuinely makes a difference.

Real Examples

Here is what we would actually recommend for these trips.

Weekend Getaway London to Ibiza

A light jet works great here if it is just a few of you with normal luggage. No need to overspend on a bigger aircraft for a short hop.

Business Trip Paris to Dubai

This is where a super midsize really shines. Enough range to fly direct, enough cabin to work comfortably on the way.

Transatlantic New York to Nice

For a flight this long, you want a heavy jet. Proper beds, a real galley, and enough space so you actually arrive feeling rested.
