How to stay healthy on flights

Snippet:Demand for private jet travel has increased for many reasons. Private air travel has significantly fewer touch points compared to commercial travel, thereby reducing contagion risk. We have highlighted key aspects to consider when embarking on your private flight as we navigate travel in a pandemic

One of the by-products of the pandemic has been a sharp rise in the demand for private jet travel. As the world continues to evolve to the ever changing rules and demands of various international restrictions, we at Jet Luxe take pride in our ability to serve our clients with safety and excellence.

For those concerned with contracting COVID-19, traveling by private jet can reduce contagion risk by reducing the 700 touchpoints typical of commercial travel. Private aviation offers a seamless and effective private terminal process with only 20 touchpoints. This stark difference spares travelers the stresses of traveling in a high-risk environment and gives peace of mind while traveling for business or leisure.

We continue to evolve to meet the needs of our clients and protect the community, never compromising on hygiene and safety standards. If you are planning a trip, we have highlighted a few tips to help you stay healthy when you fly.

1: Fly with a trusted, accredited travel company:

For private air travel in the United States, an FAA Air Carrier Certificate which shows FAA approval for commercial flight use and safety standards is a reliable certification and D085 an FAA listing that defines which aircraft can legally be used for private jet charter services. In Europe, EASA Certification testifies that an aircraft meets the rigorous safety requirements set by the European Union. We recommend you familiarize yourself with these before you book your private jet.

2. Inquire about safety and service standards:

In addition to working with a trusted jet provider, it is critical to fly with a reputable company that can evidence service, safety, and excellence standards. At Jet Luxe, your safety is our priority, so we ensure that we continuously exceed federal safety checks. The sky isn’t the limit when considering our quality standards, so we took inspiration from NASA’s mission control center when designing our state-of-the-art control center. Our highly qualified crew work around the clock to provide your pilot with real-time safety updates using our advanced scheduling software. We never compromise on safety or quality.

When benchmarking jet providers, be sure to inquire about safety management systems, service standards, and the expertise of the pilot and crew. At Jet Luxe, we are proud of the implementation of our Global Standards of Service Excellence, developed in partnership with the Forbes Travel Guide. These standards guarantee best-in-class service delivery and provide assurance of our commitment to excellence.

3: Inquire about COVID-19 safety protocols

Private jet operators should be upfront about their hygiene, sterilization and other COVID-19 protocols and be sure to clarify these, if in any doubt. Jet Luxe will always provide full transparency on our safety systems, screening protocols, vaccination status of crew and staff, disinfection and other wellness and safety matters. We take great pride in adhering to the highest COVID-19 safety measures, including rigorous cleaning and sterilization, use of masks while on flights, availability of hand sanitizers. Further, our trusted pilots and crew in addition to be fully vaccinated, are subject to regular COVID-19 screening to further enhance safety and security of our guests.

For those utilizing our jet charter service for medical purposes, we will provide full details about on-board medical equipment.

4. Get plenty of rest on board and load up on nutritious food

Jet travel is extremely comfortable with full beds and plenty of space to stretch, move, and relax. You are likely to leave your flight feeling revived and refreshed.

Unlike commercial flights, the conditions in the cabin can be tailored to your preferences. Too bright, dark, warm or cold? We can easily adjust these to ensure your comfort and minimize the impact of jetlag.

You may wish to boost your intake of phytonutrient foods which can fortify your immune system. Just submit your personalized catering requests your Jet Luxe concierge and we will take care of the rest.  Stay well rested on board by taking a nap in the bedroom and if you have special dietary requirements, be sure to let your Jet Luxe concierge know. We can arrange full wellness menus for adults and children, ensuring you arrive refreshed and ready to enjoy your trip.

5. Clarify aircraft availability for potential emergency returns

We recommend passengers inquire about aircraft availability and how to book a flight at short notice. There is a global shortage of private jets at present, which is why Jet Luxe offers a guaranteed access commitment to our INVICTUS Partners. This means that you will never be “stuck” and we will ensure your safe, reliable passage home, wherever you are in the world.
