Research the carriers in your area. It's helpful to know what type of aircrafts they utilize so you can determine how many passengers they can accommodate at one time. Your initial point of contact should be the company's Charter Sales or Group Planning department where staff can assist you in finding the proper resources like charter aircrafts or passenger service flights.

Have your request ready when you make that initial call. As a valued customer, it is the goal of these departments to make planning your flight easy, convenient and cost-effective. Give all of the necessary details to ensure you get the price that is right for you, based on the routing you plan to take. If you are a group planning a trip, be clear on the number of people you want to take, what the purpose of the trip is, the approximate time of travel if possible, and nature of the group.
