If you have the money to stay at one of the luxurious St Lucia all inclusive resorts (or really anywhere in the Caribbean and beyond), chances are you have the money to fly a private charter jet.
If you haven’t thought of this option yet, you REALLY should.
Private charter flights are not necessarily astronomically priced, and often can be almost as affordable as a commercial airline flight.
This is especially true if you are somewhat flexible in your schedule. On an “empty leg” flight prices are typically comparable to a first class ticket from any major commercial airline.
They will usually offer far more room than your traditional sardines-in-a-can airline flight, quicker turnaround times, and that touch of exclusivity that will make your trip so much more memorable.
Private charters also have access to many more airports than the standard commercial airlines, allowing you to travel to many more destinations more easily.
Pay a little more for a complete custom booking and you can choose when and where you fly (no more red-eye flights with half a dozen stopovers to reach your destination!).
Our list of the top private jet charter companies.
#1-Luna Jets
LunaJets claim to fame is their rock bottom pricing. One of the more established aviation brokers (est. 2007), LunaJets is the largest independent private jet broker in Europe.

The CEO and founder is Eymeric Segard who spearheaded the company towards Argus Broker Certification. LunaJets is one of only 4 Argus Certified Charter Broker Members which means the company has regular onsite inspections by an independent third party service. This ensures that LunaJets meets or exceeds the ten strict standards set forth by Argus Broker ratings.
