Private flying with children
Planning a family trip soon but dreading the flight? Treat yourself and your children to extra comfort by choosing a private flight. At Global Aviation, we’re here to help you enjoy a calm and stress-free journey. This way, you and your children can travel to your destination in complete comfort.
Why fly privately with children?
Flying can already be stressful for adults — let alone for children. The pressure to arrive on time, long waits at the airport, and large crowds can all make the flying experience overwhelming for a child. Before you know it, instead of feeling relaxed, you’re already stressed and overstimulated before the journey has even begun.
A private flight offers a completely different experience. You depart from an airport of your choice, at a time that suits you, and only need to arrive 20 minutes before departure. You can board calmly and comfortably. There’s time and space to give your children the attention they need, so they feel safe, relaxed, and excited for the journey. That makes the entire experience much more pleasant for the whole family.
Child-Friendly Service On Board Your Private Jet
At Global Aviation, we aim to make your flight a truly unforgettable experience — starting with safety and comfort. For babies, a Maxi-Cosi can be securely fastened to a seat, and children under the age of two may sit on a parent’s lap. Toddlers, young children, and older kids can enjoy their own comfortable seats on board the private jet.
During the flight, we ensure that your children are well entertained. Of course, you’re welcome to bring your own toys for younger children. Depending on the aircraft type, we can also arrange onboard entertainment such as children’s movies or music. Some private jets are equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing you to use your own phone, tablet, or laptop. And, depending on the circumstances, a visit to the cockpit may even be possible.
Whether for a holiday, a family visit, or a business trip
Whether you’re heading off on a sunny holiday, visiting family or taking your family with you on your business trip — Global Aviation will get you to your destination. You choose the aircraft that suits your journey. Turboprops and light jets are ideal for shorter distances and can land on smaller runways — perfect if you’re traveling to a location without a major airport.
If you’re traveling with a larger family or simply want more space, a mid-size jet is a more comfortable option. These jets feature a stand up cabin, giving you and your children extra room to move around during the flight.
Guidelines for flying private with children
The same rules for traveling with children apply to private flights as they do to commercial ones. This means that your children will need their own ID card or passport, depending on your destination.
Are you traveling as a grandparent, sibling, or another adult accompanying a child? Make sure to have consent forms signed in advance by both parents or legal guardians. These may be required at border control.
Although flying by private jet is generally more flexible, it’s good to know that children under the age of two may sit on your lap. Children over two require their own seat. Of course, we take this into account when selecting the most suitable aircraft for your journey.
