A large section of air travelers who are in some way disillusioned with commercial flights are gradually making a shift to on-demand jet services. But selecting the type of jet that is most suited for their requirements is something that most of these travelers need guidance about.

There are a number of popular jets that are available, including the Beechjet 400XP. This particular jet is a light jet with an eight-seat configuration and a private lavatory compartment. This jet is cost efficient, providing the privacy that many passengers look forward to. It is quite comfortable and especially suited for short trips.

This aircraft belongs to the mid-sized jet category. The Lear 60 aircraft is ideal for six people with luggage, and can easily fly Chicago - Las Vegas non-stop without having to halt for refueling. Out of all Lear Jets, the Lear 60 possesses the biggest cabin.

The Falcon 50 is another jet which first originated in France and is currently used around the world. It is known for being a super mid-sized jet with a tri-engine design. It is also recognized for its long range (3,600 nautical miles) and can ferry up to nine passengers and luggage, comfortably from New York to Los Angeles non-stop.

The Citation X also falls in the super mid-sized jet category that is famous for its speed and performance, which makes it one of the ideal options available. The typical configuration of the aircraft can ferry up to two pilots and eight passengers and this jet has a coast-to-coast non-stop range.

A whole lot of people now prefer private jets to travel from one destination to another in the shortest time span. Several service providers are now emerging in this market with facilities especially tailored to suit the private jet fliers. It is no hidden fact that regular commercial flights are quite exhausting at times and there being no other viable option earlier, had to be endured through.

But today, most high-flying businessmen, corporate leaders, celebrities and, for that matter, even common travelers with enough money are going in for private jets for business as well as private trips. The private jets are known to serve far more airports as compared to their commercial counterparts and as such schedule around the individual who happens to book them. For people who do not like the idea to put their pets in crate below the main cabin of a commercial aircraft, the private jets let them accompany their pets even inside the cabin. Going by the emerging trend, private jet flying is poised for a take-off in a big way and it is hoped that air travel will undergo a revolutionary change in the near future.
