People who do a lot of first-class commercial air travel, whether the expenses are out-of-pocket or company-paid, and they start to consider the benefits of private aviation, should keep the following air travel hierarchy in mind: Before switching from commercial aviation to private aviation, the rationale for doing so should include travel convenience and flexibility. There are other factors to consider, but they are unlikely to rise to a level of importance greater than convenience and flexibility.
If adequate rationale is confirmed, consider booking a trip and flying on a private jet that might be of interest. This will help decide whether the experience was favorable or not, and whether to take the next step of leasing or buying. If everything points to acquiring a private business jet, determine whether to buy it or lease it.
If owning a private business jet is not going to be a long-term need, consider leasing a jet in lieu of buyin.
