Shared private jet flights

Three ways to share

Single seats are sold by a few companies on fixed routes and fixed times, like a small airline with a private terminal. You share the cabin with strangers and the schedule is theirs.

Splitting a charter means booking the whole aircraft with family, friends or colleagues and dividing the price. The schedule, the route and the guests are yours. This is how most groups fly private.

A shared empty leg is the cheapest of the three: a group takes a leg that would fly empty and divides an already reduced price.

The price per seat, Milan to London

One way, every seat taken. The price is per aircraft, so the more seats you fill, the lower the share.

How to split a charter well

Agree on one person who books and pays; the operator contracts with one client. Fix the luggage in advance, because skis, golf bags and large cases decide the class as much as the number of seats. And ask for the cancellation terms in writing before anyone pays a share.
