The key to a successful and important business contract is the way to get there. To high-level executives, premium flights may not offer the optimum travel conditions in the eve of signing an important contract. The solution to airport waiting, delayed flights and time wasting security checks is a private jet. The private flight will be ready 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time and the journey can start even earlier than planned once the passengers are ready.

A private jet offers convenient flight schedules and on-board privacy to analyse the last details of the business contract or that important presentation to be used in the meeting.

Private jets are also great meeting “rooms” for signing multiple-figures business deals. The business clients can be taken on board and they would be impressed by a private aircraft turned into a luxury meeting room at hundred of miles above the ground, discussing the new deal and sipping a glass of quality champagne.

Depending on airport, the waiting lounges for private flyers have high standards of concierge services. Companies who do not have a private jet can simply book via a private jet operator.

The UK government plans to double the Air Passenger Duty (APD) and this could mean the end of Premium Economy cabins.

The new taxes will put the Premium Economy seats on the same level as Business and First Class.

Families of four or five in search for extra legroom for a long haul flight to the US will have to pay extra money for the privilege, similar to the cost for a business flight.

The APD should increase from November 2009 and for flights between 0-2000 miles the new rates will be £22. For passengers flying more than 6000 miles the tax will be £110.

Flight operators as well as unsatisfied passengers can sign an online petition to protest against the APD increase.
