Holiday Travel, Elevated: Why More Travelers Are Choosing Private Jet Charters This Season

Written By Jetsetter Marketing Team | 10.22.25

As the holiday season approaches, airports across the country are about to fill with long lines, crowded gates, and unpredictable delays. For many travelers, that has become part of the holiday routine. But for Jetsetter clients, the experience looks entirely different and infinitely smoother.

At Jetsetter Charter Jet Service, we specialize in redefining what it means to travel during the busiest time of year. Whether you are flying across the country to visit family or escaping to a winter getaway, private jet travel offers something commercial airlines simply cannot match: control, comfort, and convenience.

1. Your Schedule, Your Terms

When you fly private, you choose the time, not the airline. No more racing to make a 6 AM boarding call or waiting hours for a delayed flight. With Jetsetter, you decide exactly when you want to depart. Our team coordinates around your preferred schedule, ensuring every detail fits seamlessly into your plans.

Running late from a meeting or family event? Your aircraft waits for you, not the other way around.

2. Access to More Airports and More Destinations

One of the biggest advantages of private jet travel is access. While commercial airlines serve around 500 airports in the United States, Jetsetter connects you to over 5,000. That means you can often land closer to your final destination, whether that is a mountain cabin in Aspen, a vineyard in Napa, or a beachfront home in Naples.

Private terminals (FBOs) also make the experience far more comfortable with no TSA lines, no chaos, just a quiet lounge and direct boarding within minutes of arrival.

3. Stress Free Holiday Travel

The holidays should be about family, not frustration. Flying private eliminates the stress of lost luggage, overbooked flights, and crowded terminals. With Jetsetter, your bags are always on board, your seats are guaranteed, and your experience is personalized from start to finish.

Our ARGUS rated operators and hand selected fleet ensure you are flying on some of the highest pedigree aircraft in the world, from light jets like the Citation CJ series to heavy jets like the Challenger 300 and Gulfstream GIV.

4. Comfort That Feels Like Home in the Sky

Private jet interiors are designed for relaxation, productivity, or both. Stretch out in spacious leather seating, enjoy curated catering, or connect to WiFi and get work done en route. Every flight is tailored to your preferences because luxury should feel personal, not generic.

5. Start or End the Holidays the Right Way

Whether you are flying to reunite with family or bringing loved ones together for a New Year’s celebration, Jetsetter makes every trip memorable from the first moment you step onboard. Arrive refreshed, on time, and ready to enjoy what matters most.

Because at Jetsetter, holiday travel should not be stressful, it should be seamless.

Insurance Versus Addendum

General Insurance Information

All interstate moving companies are required to assume liability for the value of the goods which they transport.

However, there are different levels of liability and consumers should be aware of the amount of protection

provided and the charges for each option. Basically, most movers offer four different levels of liability under the

terms of their tariffs and pursuant to federally approved Release Rates Orders which govern the moving industry.

These four levels (options) are described below.

Option 1: Released Value

This is the most economical protection option available. This no-additional-cost option provides minimal protection. Under this option, the mover assumes liability for no more than 60 cents per pound, per article. Loss or damage claims are settled based on the pound weight of the article multiplied by 60 cents. For example, is a 10 pound stereo component, valued at $1000 were lost or destroyed, the mover would be liable for no more than $6.00. Obviously, you should think carefully before agreeing to such an arrangement. There is no extra charge for this minimal protection, but you must sign a specific statement on the bill of lading agreeing to it.

Option 2: Declared Value

Under this option, the valuation of your shipment is based on the total weight of the shipment times $1.25 per pound. For example, a 4000 pound shipment would have a maximum liability value of $5000.00. Any loss or damage claim under this option is settled based upon the depreciated value of the lost or damaged item(s) up to the maximum liability value based on the weight of the entire shipment. Under this option, if you shipped a 10 pound stereo component that originally cost $1000, the mover would be liable for up to $1000, based on the depreciated value of the item. Unless you specifically agree to other arrangements, the mover is required to assume liability for the entire shipment based on this option. Also, the mover is entitled to charge you $7.00 for each $1000 (or fraction thereof) of liability assumed for shipments transported under this option. In the example above, the valuation charge for a shipment valued at $5000 would be $35.00.

Option 3: Lump Sum Value

Under this option, which is similar to Option 2, if the value of your shipment exceeds $1.25 per pound times the weight of the shipment, you may obtain additional liability coverage from the mover. You do this by declaring a specific dollar value for your shipment. The amount you declare must exceed $1.25 per pound times the weight of the shipment. The amount of value that you declare is subject to the same valuation charge ($7.00 per $1000) as described in Option 2. For example if you declare that your 4000 pound shipment is worth $10,000 (instead of the $5000 under Option 2), the mover will charge you $7.00 for each $1000 of declared value, or $70.00, for this increased level of liability. If you ship articles that are unusually expensive, you may wish to declare this extra value. You must make this declaration in writing on the bill of lading.

Option 4: Full Value Protection

Many interstate movers offer a fourth level of added-value protection, often referred to as “full value protection” or “full replacement value”. If you elect to purchase full value protection, articles that are lost, damaged or destroyed will be either repaired, replaced with like items or a cash settlement will be made for the current market replacement value, regardless of the age of the lost or damaged item. Unlike the other options, depreciation of the lost or damaged item is not a factor in determining replacement value when the shipment is moved under full value protection. The exact cost for full value protection may vary by mover and may be further subject to various deductible levels of liability which may reduce your cost. Ask your mover for the specific details of its plan. Under these four options, movers are permitted to limit their liability for loss or damage to articles of extraordinary value, unless you specifically list these articles on the shipping documents. An article of extraordinary value is any item whose value exceeds $100 per pound. Ask your mover for a complete explanation of this limitation before your move. It is your responsibility to study this provision carefully and to make the necessary declaration.

In addition to the above options, your mover can also sell you, or procure for you, separate liability insurance if you release your shipment for transportation at a value of 60 cents per pound per article (Option 1). Then, in the event of loss or damage which is the responsibility of the mover, the mover is liable only for an amount not exceeding 60 cents per pound per article and the balance of the loss is recoverable from the insurance company (up to the amount of the insurance purchased). The mover’s representative can advise you on the availability of such liability insurance and the cost. If you purchase liability insurance from or through your mover, the mover is required to issue a policy or other written record of the purchase and to provide you with a copy of the policy or other document at the time of purchase. If the mover fails to comply with this requirement, the mover becomes fully liable for any claim for loss or damage attributed to its negligence.
