Part of the appeal of private travel is a cabin arranged around you. This guide explains how catering and cabin requests work on charter and how to make sure your preferences are met.
Catering on charter ranges from simple refreshments to fully bespoke menus, sourced by the operator or a specialist caterer. You can usually request specific dishes, dietary preferences, and particular drinks, and it is important to flag any allergies clearly.
Bespoke catering needs lead time, so the earlier you share your wishes the better the result. For short notice flights a simpler selection may be all that is practical, which your advisor will explain.
Cabins can be prepared to suit you within the limits of the aircraft. Temperature, seating arrangement, and entertainment can often be set to preference, and larger aircraft may offer bedding for rest on longer flights.
What is possible depends on the aircraft type and its configuration, so it is worth discussing your priorities so the right aircraft is chosen for the way you want to travel.
If you are marking an occasion, many requests can be arranged with notice, from flowers to particular refreshments or a quiet cabin set up the way you like. Sharing the details in advance gives the crew time to prepare properly.
The key is lead time and clear instructions, which allow the operator to deliver the experience you have in mind.
If any passenger has mobility needs or requires special assistance, tell the operator when you book. Some aircraft are easier to board than others, and ground teams can arrange support at the private terminal.
Raising these needs early lets the operator choose a suitable aircraft and prepare the right help at each end of the trip.
The more the operator knows in advance, the more closely the flight can be tailored to you. Note your catering wishes, any dietary needs, and any cabin or accessibility requests when you get in touch.
