The flying speed of a private jet varies dramatically depending on the type of aircraft, however many smaller jets are slower than commercial airliners. The time saving of flying privately is made on the ground. With minimal check in times and no delays waiting for luggage, flying by Seabourn Private Air is usually much faster than using a scheduled airline. Also on longer flights Air Traffic Control (ATC) may be able to offer private jets many more direct routes than scheduled airlines. This is because most private jets have a higher rate of climb and can fly higher than scheduled airlines.
