"Hi everyone. I'm Russ Handler, travel expert. Did you know it's a lot easier than you may have thought to lease a private jet. In fact, it's quite simple. One way you could do it is, do a little leg work. Go ahead and get in your car and drive to your local airport, for instance, this one behind me. This is Albert Whited Airpark in St. Petersburg, Florida. Now leasing a jet is also easier done, and I recommend doing it over the Internet, it'll save you a lot of time. There's several ways to do it. You could outright lease the vehicle, and all the equipment, and all the crew, and that is definitely the best way to get things done. You could also do a time share, as well. And if you're doing a time share, depending on your travel, that means you could fly between four to six weeks out of the year, or less or more, depending on the arrangement. Another way you could do it is, if you are a pilot or have a certified pilot and a certified crew, you could go ahead and just rent the aircraft, itself. But my recommendation, get online, do your homework in advance, and definitely go with a charter, because of the fact that you'll get everything you need for one simple price. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it."
