FAQs for First-Time Private Charter Flight Flyers
What are the different types of private jets and how do I choose the right one?
1) Private jets come in various sizes, each suited for different needs. Here’s a basic breakdown:
2) Airliners provide air transport services for travelling passengers and/or freight.
3) Helicopters offer a level of flexibility from point-to-point city travel to direct access to remote areas.
4) Large size jets are ideal for larger groups and longer journeys and can travel up to 5000 miles in a single stretch.
5) Light Jets may be used for general aviation, to perform roles under commercial transport, and more specialised aerial work.
6) The Mid-size Jet category offers 6 to 8 seats and a maximum range of 4700 kms or 4 to 5 hours flight time.
7) Turboprop engines are most commonly used on small subsonic aircraft, like charter jets and transport aircraft. These can typically fly higher than pistons, at altitudes up to 35,000 feet.
What documentation do I need to fly by private jet?
1) Valid Passport: This is essential for all international flights and most domestic routes. Ensure it has sufficient validity (usually at least 6 months remaining).
2) Visa: If your destination requires a visa, you’ll need to obtain it before your flight. Research visa requirements well in advance to avoid delays.
3) Authorised Photo ID (for domestic flights or Schengen Zone travel): In some cases, an ID card or driving licence can be used instead of a passport for domestic flights or travel within the European Schengen Zone (which has open border agreements).
Additional Documents:
- Passenger Information Form: The private jet company you book with might request a form collecting your name, date of birth, passport information, and contact details.
- Dietary Restrictions (if any): Informing the company beforehand allows them to arrange suitable catering options.

- Airport landing, parking and ground handling fees
- Taxes
Peacock Jetlines utilizes technology to get competitive quotes from accredited operators. We offer preferential pricing on aircraft within our group.

- Expedited security and immigration checks
Peacock Jetlines’s Client Services can arrange trusted car transfers for both arrival and departure.

- Smaller jets offer pre-ordered options like pastries, fruit, or salads.
- Larger jets allow for bespoke meals and hot dishes prepared onboard.
Entertainment options include music, multimedia, and Wi-Fi (on larger jets). Newspapers and magazines are always available. Peacock Jetlines’s Client Services can help personalise your flight with special touches like gifts, decorations, or toys.
