Traveling by private jet with family, pleasure, advantage or hassle?
Until which point in time are pregnant women allowed to fly? How do you organise a plane trip with your children according to their ages?

These are all questions that are legitimate to ask yourself before opting for business aviation with its blond heads.

What are the advantages of the private jet with the family?
Having your family travel by jet will allow you to offer your loved ones several advantages such as being flexible, saving time when boarding and disembarking, avoiding virus contamination due to cramped spaces or crowds of travellers, taking advantage of a tailor-made service in terms of diet, comfort etc. Nevertheless, here are some things to know according to the condition and age of each person.
What are the advantages for pregnant women to travel by private jet?
The comfort of made-to-measure
The jet option is almost ideal for mothers-to-be. Indeed, in terms of comfort, long queues will be nothing but a bad memory, as will the crowds of impatient passengers and the stress it can generate. It is also possible to organise ground transfers with a private chauffeur service whose vehicle will be best suited to the comfort of each person. On the plane, tailor-made is the key to a successful trip: pregnant women can enjoy a more intimate space, particularly comfortable seats and sometimes a full recline for long flights.
The adaptable catering service
The on-board catering service is also totally adaptable to the desires and appetite of the mother-to-be as well as to any possible contraindications for a particular diet.
Can pregnant women travel on private jets?
