How much you fly
Your realistic annual flight hours, not a wishful estimate.
Advisory
Fly smarter, not just more often.
Before any flight, a plan. Your advisor starts with how many hours you fly, where, and with whom, then walks you through charter, jet card, fractional, and ownership with the numbers before you commit.
Plan around the clock
Where your day starts, and where it lands.
Local time in key cities, and the U.S. airports where business flying is busiest. Your advisor plans departures and arrivals around both.

Ask your advisor
What we weigh before we recommend anything.
Choose the kind of trip. Here is what an advisor looks at, and what we will ask you.
Your advisor weighs
- The airport that saves the most time, not only the biggest one. Many cities have a closer private airport.
- The FBO and ground transport at both ends, so the car is waiting where the aircraft arrives.
- Passenger count and luggage, which often decide the aircraft size more than distance does.
- Date flexibility. Moving a departure by a few hours can open more aircraft options.
We will ask you
- Where is the meeting, and when must you be there?
- Who is traveling, and with how much luggage?
- Do you need to return the same day?
Your advisor weighs
- Cabin size and baggage space for everyone, plus strollers, golf bags, or ski gear.
- Pets and special handling, arranged on request and subject to operator approval.
- Catering and arrival plans, so the trip begins the moment you leave the house.
- A calm, step-by-step plan for a first charter: what happens at the airport and when.
We will ask you
- Who is coming, including children and pets?
- Is there anything that needs special handling?
- What would a perfect arrival look like?
Your advisor weighs
- Busy events crowd nearby airports. We look at alternates and plan the arrival early.
- Ground transport to the venue, because the last few miles decide the day.
- Return timing, when everyone leaves at once after the event.
- Booking sooner. Availability can tighten around big dates.
We will ask you
- Which event, and on which days?
- What are your arrival and departure windows?
- Who is joining you?
Your advisor weighs
- Seats against comfort: the right aircraft category for your headcount.
- One aircraft or two, and how a split group stays on schedule.
- Passenger details collected securely after booking, never by email.
- A single point of contact for the assistant or travel manager who is booking.
We will ask you
- How many travelers, and who is booking for them?
- Is everyone departing from the same place?
- Are there any accessibility needs?
Your advisor weighs
- Passport validity, visas, and customs timing differ by country, so we plan for them early.
- The destination airport, including where customs service is available.
- Range and fuel stops, which can change the aircraft category.
- The operating carrier confirms routing and permits for every trip.
We will ask you
- Which countries, and on which passports will everyone travel?
- Are there fixed meeting or arrival times?
- Do you prefer a direct flight or a stop?
General guidance. Your advisor tailors every plan, and the operating air carrier confirms routing, permits, and timing for each trip.

What we look at
Where you fly
Your regular routes and the airports that suit them.
Who flies with you
Typical passenger count, which drives aircraft size.
Aircraft ownership advisory
Thinking about owning an aircraft?
Ownership starts with how you actually fly. In an advisory appointment, your advisor works through your mission with you before any decision is made.
What an appointment covers
- How you travel today: routes, passengers, and schedule.
- What you want ownership to achieve, such as control, availability, privacy, or cost certainty.
- How ownership compares with charter, jet card, and fractional options for the way you fly.
- Questions to put to an aircraft broker, a manager, and an insurer before you commit to anything.
General guidance only. It is not financial, tax, legal, or appraisal advice.
Vantage Executive Travel is an air charter broker and aviation advisor. It does not hold aircraft inventory, represent aircraft for sale, perform appraisals, or have manufacturer partnerships.
Rule of thumb
Lower annual hours often favor charter or jet cards. Higher, predictable hours may justify fractional or ownership. We model your real usage.
Educational guidance, not a promise of cost or savings.
Advisory, not just booking.
We help you choose the right option based on how you actually fly: the right aircraft, not the easiest sale.
