Private aviation offers clients a sense of control — but booking a charter flight doesn’t guarantee a seamless travel experience. Failing to ask your charter broker the right questions ahead of time can cause unexpected delays and costly last-minute changes.

As an Aviation Advisor for Apollo Jets, which provides on-demand luxury private jet charter services through the largest network of private jet operators, Michael Palagonia has seen what can go wrong and learned what it takes to ensure a high end air charter experience.

In this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, Michael shares what too often gets overlooked in planning private air travel, as well as his tips for getting ahead of challenges and making sure everything runs smoothly from wheels up to touchdown and beyond.

Tune in to hear:

  • Small mistakes can turn into bigger problems when flying privately
  • The two challenges that are out of any air carrier’s control — and the best ways to respond to them
  • Questions to ask around luggage capacity, departure times, catering and more
  • Why it’s critical to know your terms around cancelation, wifi and pets
  • How to plan for holiday, peak season, and major event travel (especially to and from hotspots like New York and Mykonos)
