First time private flyers are not looking back… and neither are we. Those very first steps into that jet really do leave a mark, not only is the flight faster, easier, cleaner and safer but also exciting and memorable.\n\nNot to mention… more than compliment your social media! 📸\n\n## Sky high prices… or not?\n\nThese private flights have, and still are seen as an option to only the most fortunate amongst us, however this is changing. Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that a jet could have viably replaced your last RyanAir flight to Marbella.. But you would be surprised. \n\nThe access to this luxury travel option is evermore pointing towards what the industry calls “Empty legs”. 40% of all private flights have no passengers onboard (an empty leg). 🤯 Madness you may say? But hear me out, aircraft operators must return most jets to their airport of origin or to the next charter location, this means fuel, crew and all the costs associated with flying a jet. The mentality here is why not fill it? Even close to raw cost price! \n\nDownside to empty legs; fitting in with their schedule. A little like catching a moving taxi instead of calling one. 🍀\n\n## My Plane - Your Plane\n\nThe next step up from chartering these luxury aircrafts is owning one. They are by no means cheap, but the industry has a fix for that too; fractional ownership, you’re not going to be using your new jet 24\u002F7 so why not spread the costs and joyful experience with loved ones, business partners or complete strangers? 🧠 This system offers a brilliant alternative to buying a jet to have it sit in a hangar most days, and could be a worthwhile investment if chartered out whilst sitting idle. \n\nEither way, your jet will be putting smiles on faces, or dollars in your pocket with little downtime. Get the most out of your jet onboard and off. ⚖️\n\nWhen everything seems to be against you, remember that an airplane takes-off against the wind, not with it.\n\nThanks once more for reading.\n\nLM\n","2022-10-14","October, 14 2022",{"id":18,"name":19},"d04yit39wgss8kkpkdabg9jb","Travel",[],[22,30,37,44],{"id":23,"title":24,"uid":25,"link":26,"image":27,"alt":28,"date":29},"tjlt7bxfz9rxbde9bhremdrj","In Between Appearances: Cinematic Villa Rentals in Cannes","in-between-appearances-cinematic-villa-rentals-in-cannes","\u002Flogbook\u002Fin-between-appearances-cinematic-villa-rentals-in-cannes","https:\u002F\u002Ffmvibcqia.filerobot.com\u002Fmedia\u002FIn%20Between%20Appearances.webp","article-preview-image","2026-04-02",{"id":31,"title":32,"uid":33,"link":34,"image":35,"alt":28,"date":36},"j7ebewrfkky9831fknlhksts","Race Weekend: Six Luxury Villas Within Easy Reach of Monaco for the F1 Grand Prix","race-weekend-six-luxury-villas-for-monaco-for-the-f1-grand-prix","\u002Flogbook\u002Frace-weekend-six-luxury-villas-for-monaco-for-the-f1-grand-prix","https:\u002F\u002Ffmvibcqia.filerobot.com\u002Fmedia\u002Faerial-view-above-monaco-french-riviera.webp","2026-03-25",{"id":38,"title":39,"uid":40,"link":41,"image":42,"alt":28,"date":43},"eah9vsby8474kcwmeudy7xmi","The Broker's Black Book: How We Choose Our Charter Private Jets","the-brokers-black-book-how-we-choose-our-charter-private-jets","\u002Flogbook\u002Fthe-brokers-black-book-how-we-choose-our-charter-private-jets","https:\u002F\u002Ffmvibcqia.filerobot.com\u002Fmedia\u002Fabove-board-private-jet-ready-for-boarding.webp","2026-02-05",{"id":45,"title":46,"uid":47,"link":48,"image":49,"alt":28,"date":50},"i5kwpd4e0w7skgozzgoja8ce","Laps of Luxury: Poolside Perfection Across the Mediterranean","laps-of-luxury-poolside-perfection-mediterranean-villas","\u002Flogbook\u002Flaps-of-luxury-poolside-perfection-mediterranean-villas","https:\u002F\u002Ffmvibcqia.filerobot.com\u002Fmedia\u002Flaps-of-luxury.webp","2026-01-22","2025-02-13T15:13:01.930Z",{},{"ROOT_QUERY":54},["null","__typename",55,"seoRedirects({\"filters\":{\"from\":{\"eq\":\"\u002Flogbook\u002Fthe-ups-and-downs-of-private-jets\"}}})",56,"social",57],"Query",[],["null","__typename",58,"documentId",59,"Discord",9,"Instagram",60,"LinkedIn",61,"Twitter",62,"Facebook",63],"Social","zq200iviupbvrtkvyy8187a3","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Ftothebluemoon\u002F?hl=en","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fcompany\u002F85414514\u002Fadmin\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Ftwitter.com\u002Fto_the_bluemoon","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Fprofile.php?id=100090484542674"]
