Ins and Outs of Baggage on Charter Jet Flights


Edgar Alacan, a respected presence in the private aviation industry, leads Jets.com as co-founder, and coordinates seamless private jet travel around the world. One question posed by Edgar Alacan’s clients is how baggage requirements compare with commercial flights.

One major benefit for private jet passengers is in the amount of baggage that can be carried. While there are jet baggage restrictions, depending on type of aircraft and number of passengers flying, the weight and space allocated tends to be far higher than with commercial airlines. 

Smaller private jets often do not have overhead bins, which means that carry-on luggage should comfortably fit by the feet or on the lap. In addition, not all private jets feature pressurized baggage compartments, which can present restrictions when it comes to items with gas and liquid contents.

Many regular travelers enjoy another aspect of private jet travel, the ability to easily transport animal companions with them, such as cats and dogs within proper carrying cases. Passengers can also take personal care of valuable items from paintings to musical instruments while in transit.

Managing Jet Lag - Should You Sleep on the Flight?


Over the course of a decade, Edgar Alacan has developed Jets.com into a leader in the private travel industry. Through Jets.com, Edgard Alacan and his team connect individuals to a wide variety of different private aircraft that can be booked for everything from business trips to vacation travel. 

When traveling longer distances, individuals may struggle to adjust to a new time zone. One of the strategies that travelers often employ is sleeping during the flight, but this is not always the best option. 

A behavioral sleep medicine specialist at the University of Chicago suggest that people use time on the plane to relax or work rather than sleep if it’s daytime at the destination city. The decision of whether or not to sleep largely depends on the duration of the flight and the direction of travel.

Ideally, individuals should prepare for jet lag by adjusting to the new time zone starting a few days before leaving. People usually sleep best in their own beds, so it can be helpful to make a gradual shift in sleep patterns before even setting foot on the plane. When flying west, individuals should push their bedtime later. Eastward travel requires an earlier bedtime to ease the adjustment.

Tips for Private Jet Travel


Edgar Alacan, a respected presence in the private aircraft charter business, guides Jets.com, which combines luxury travel with competitive pricing. Edgar Alacan and his firm emphasize safety while providing a tailored, customer-centric experience.

For those who are new to private air travel, the basic inflight rules are the same as those in any commercial or private setting, and begin with proper behavior. Within a confined space, good manners go beyond simple etiquette and involve some critical safety issues.

Keep expectations realistic. While a private jet offers travel tailored to a specific destination and can be much faster than commercial alternatives, this does not give the passenger the right to make demands such as last-minute itinerary changes. 

Although private jets can be booked just hours in advance, guaranteeing availability and ensuring that a well rested crew is ready for transportation is a vital part of the equation. To avoid last minute hassles and potentially missing or being late for important events, it makes sense to book travel as early as possible. One pointer for tech-savvy first time private jet travelers is that, unless a photo opportunity suggested by the host, it may be best to keep the flight discreet and off of social media.
