Remember the days when limousines were few and far between? Remember when you used to see one and wonder who was inside? With the darkened glass you couldn't see, but it was bound to be a pop star, wasn't it?

Nowadays, of course, everyone uses a "limo" – from stag and hen nights to school children attending their end of year ball. Oh, and the occasional pop star too!

Transportation by limousine is still luxury travel, but it's reached the masses.

Now, for true VIP travel, you need to look elsewhere. Look to the skies – for private jet hire or private helicopter hire. Who's in that small jet? Which pop start, sports star, or entrepreneur?

Many celebrities have to use private jet charter to escape the attention, as well as the queues, security hassles and general inconvenience of using a commercial airport. Using a private jet means that they can travel at their own time of choosing, possible to and from more conveniently situated airports, with their own trusted people, and, best of all, it can save them time.

If private jet hire can do all that for so-called stars, then it can do it for you too. Road limousines have come within the compass or ordinary groups of people, and VIP travel by private jet can be the same. Indeed, it is becoming more and more important for business people to consider a private jet for their optimum method of transport, covering a lot of miles in an efficient use of time, while at the same time being able to carry out business in the privacy of their own private jet charter flight.

Most people no longer enjoy the experience at a commercial airport, but travelling by private jet can enable you to use smaller, more private airports, or even using a large airport, but away from the glare of the crowds, and avoiding long queues, security checks, hassles and baggage delays. Private jet hire can bring luxury travel to you, and, as a business person or as a private individual, you can bring in your colleagues or friends to make the cost more efficiently spread.

Normal year-on-year growth in private jet hire use has been bumped up by spikes of activity in the face of terrorist threats. Private jet hire companies have noted that it is not just top company executives who are travelling in this way, but other senior staff too.

Maybe the biggest luxury of all these days is our own time. Private jet charter can give your more time. That's because you'll spend less time checking in, or being security checked; you'll spend less time in customs and baggage halls; and you'll have the same time on board - but you'll be able to use that time more comfortably, more cost effectively with your business associates.

From new limousine to old limousine! Many private jet hire brokers offer services beyond the flight itself and can provide transport by road limousine to and from your airports to ensure that you really are experiencing the height of luxury travel every inch of your journey.
