When you fly commercial, “amenities” usually means a bag of peanuts and a magazine. In the world of private aviation, the definition is entirely different.
Flying private isn’t just about saving time; it is about reclaiming your lifestyle at 40,000 feet. Whether you need a fully functioning boardroom to close a deal or a sanctuary to sleep during a trans-Atlantic crossing, private jet amenities are designed to meet your exact specifications.
At Charter Wind, we understand that the aircraft is more than a vehicle—it is an extension of your home or office. Because we access a network of over 5,000 aircraft, we can source the specific features you require for your mission.
Here is a detailed look at the amenities available on modern private jets.
Connectivity & Tech: The Office in the Sky
For our Executive Charters, staying connected is non-negotiable. Modern private jets act as flying offices, equipped with technology that rivals any ground-based boardroom.
- High-Speed Wi-Fi: Gone are the days of spotty connections. Many heavy and super-midsize jets now feature Ka-band or Starlink satellite Wi-Fi, allowing for seamless video conferencing, large file downloads, and streaming.
- Satellite Phones: Secure voice channels ensure you are never out of reach, even over the middle of the ocean.
- Entertainment Systems: Control cabin lighting, temperature, and media directly from your smartphone. Large HD monitors are standard on larger aircraft, perfect for reviewing presentations or keeping the family entertained on Leisure Charters.
Gourmet Dining: Beyond “Airplane Food”
On a private jet, the menu is limited only by your imagination. Unlike commercial airlines with set meal options, private charter dining is entirely bespoke.
- Custom Catering: You can request meals from your favorite high-end restaurants or specify dietary requirements (Gluten-Free, Halal, Kosher) for the entire party.
- Onboard Galleys: larger aircraft feature full service galleys with ovens, microwaves, and espresso machines. This allows a dedicated flight attendant to plate and serve multi-course meals at altitude.
- Stocked Bars: Your favorite vintage wines, champagnes, and spirits can be pre-stocked before you arrive.
Comfort & Sleep: Cabin Configurations That Matter
For long-haul flights, such as Medical Flights or intercontinental business trips, physical recovery is paramount.
- Club Seating: The standard configuration features facing seats with fold-out tables, ideal for conversation or dining.
- Lie-Flat Beds: On Heavy and Ultra-Long Range jets, divans and club seats convert into fully flat beds.
- Private Staterooms: Flagship aircraft like the Gulfstream G650 or Global 7500 often feature a dedicated master bedroom with a permanent bed, offering total privacy and the ability to arrive rested.
Aircraft Class Breakdown: Which Jet Has What?
One of the most common misconceptions is that all private jets have showers or bedrooms. The available amenities depend heavily on the size of the aircraft.
Light Jets (Efficiency)
Ideal for short hops (e.g., New York to Miami), Light Jets prioritize speed and efficiency.
- Amenities: Enclosed lavatory (usually), modest refreshment center (snacks/drinks), and comfortable reclining seats.
- Best For: Quick Team Charters or small family trips.
Heavy & Ultra-Long Range Jets (Luxury)
Designed for global travel, these are flying apartments.
- Amenities: Full galley, flight attendant service, lie-flat berthing, separate cabin zones (dining vs. sleeping), and large luggage capacity for Cargo & Logistics.
- Best For: International Luxury Getaways and VIPs.
Lavatories and Spa Features
Privacy extends to the restroom facilities.
- Enclosed Lavatories: Almost all private jets (except very small air taxis) feature a fully enclosed lavatory with a solid door, toilet, and sink.
- Full Showers: Available exclusively on large, ultra-long-range aircraft (like the Bombardier Global 7500). If you need to head straight to a meeting upon landing, ask your Group & VIP Travel coordinator to source a jet with shower facilities.
