Private Plane Rental Costs - What You Should Expect When Hiring a Private Plane

Private Plane Rental Costs - What You Should Expect When Hiring a Private Plane

Private plane rental costs are getting more and more affordable to the average person everyday. There are several factors that determine the costs of renting a private plane and this article will explain those factors and how to lower them.

The costs of a private jet rental depend on the type of jet you are interested in. The more luxurious the plane the more it will cost to fly. So if you don't really need a lot of luxury, then find planes that aren't as jazzy inside.

Another factor that will lower the price is how many people you book on the flight. The more people you can find to fly with you the better the individual rate will be. If you fly alone then expect to pay a large sum for your ticket. Private planes can actually save your company money if you have enough people to fill the jet. Next time compare a commercial flight with a private flight and see the difference.

One of the biggest factors of course is the distance you are flying. You can lower this cost by finding dead head flights. Most private planes are not booked going back to the original point of departure. Normally a jet will need to fly from point A to point B with passengers, but will rarely have passengers going back to point A. This is the dead head link. Ask a travel agent or booking agent for dead head flights. If you are flexible with your travel times you can drastically reduce the costs of your private charter.

Why You Want to Be a Marine Corps Pilot In case you're wondering what the life of a Marine pilot is like let me give you a quick rundown on what you can expect once you earn those coveted wings of gold.

Why You Want to Be a Marine Corps Pilot

In case you're wondering what the life of a Marine pilot is like let me give you a quick rundown on what you can expect once you earn those coveted wings of gold.


Challenge- As you can imagine being a pilot in the Corps is challenging. You might be flying an AV-8B Harrier in support of forces on the ground, or performing assault missions in a V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor. You might launch from carriers decks in your F-18 Hornet or pound enemy position in your AH-1Z helicopter gunship. These are only a few of the aircraft and missions you could be flying as a Marine.

Fulfillment- As a Marine pilot you are part of something that is bigger than yourself. You're an essential ingredient to the Marine Air Ground team and part of the reason why the Corps can accomplish more with less. Because the Corps is an expeditionary force it doesn't travel with many heavy weapons. Marine air power fills that void and provides an umbrella of protection for Marines on the ground.


The People-You will fly with some of the best people on the planet. The relationships that you make as a Marine Corps pilot will follow you throughout your career and into the civilian world.


These are just a few of the benefits of becoming a Marine Corps Pilot. I didn't mention the pride of being a Marine or the feeling you'll have when you finish flight training and pin on Marine Aviator wings.

I didn't mention the elation of making your first operational carrier landing or the excitement of going on a cruise.
