To deal with uncomfortable seating, you have the option of upgrading the section you are sitting in. Although this will often cost extra.

Temperature

 

Controlling your temperature and temperature of the environment around you is something that is hugely difficult on public transport and can lead to you feeling uncomfortable. You really are limited to changing the clothes you are wearing and taking along a cold or warm drink. Although fans and gel hand heaters can also be used.

 

With private transport, you have a lot more freedom over this. This is because as can use the client control to increase or decrease the temperature as you see fit. Something that can make your journey a lot more comfortable.

Entertainment

Lastly, making a journey can be boring, especially if it’s one that you repeatedly do. That is why many people ensure they have some form of entertainment while they are travelling to keep them comfortable and alert.

  1. Ha, I wish I could afford to take my own private transport. However, I don’t think I’m there yet! Very true about getting to your mode of transportation early, I can always get a better seat!

  2. Well, I’m not sure everyone who doesn’t travel by private plane is an idiot but it certainly would be a nice way to go when you can. As far as your tips for making yourself comfortable, bringing your own entertainment and comfort items certainly does make the journey better. And having a neck pillow is so important for not getting that horrible neck crink that always happens when you forget it.

  3. I’d like to be able to hire my own jet to take me to wherever I want in the world. I also think that sometimes it’s a good idea to have a variety of different entertainment options available. Whether it’s bringing a book, having music, or writing pieces available, I know that I like to have options when I travel.

  4. This jet looks stellar! I don’t think I’d have any troubles getting comfortable on this flight. Great tips for staying entertained. Also, I’m one who hates cold flights, I wear tons of layers so I’m not shivering the entire time and get that AC off my face, it dries my skin out! Ha 🙂

  5. I have realized the boon of a travel pillow – it is so comfortable to just catch that little nap while traveling. Temperature is another thing that I have learnt to deal with. Always carry a shawl to battle the cooler temperatures and wear layers in case it get hot – you can always remove some.

  6. I carry my neck pillow for flights. Gadgets for music too is a must carry for me. And some comfort food for munching along the way. Sometimes the list gets longer.

  7. These are all very good tips! I always carry a neck pillow with me when flying, but now there are so many too choose from! A shawl is also a very good idea to dealing with fluctuating temperatures.

  8. Well, carrying neck pillow, ear plug and a shawl or a scarf is something one should not miss whether you are traveling in a private or public transport. One can make his/her journey comfortable in-spite of problems in both spaces.

  9. These days travel with private jet is the new trend thing. I guess it getting more popular and may be more affordable for the years to come. Now it is still quite expensive and only the rich and famous is using it.

  10. Wow, I wish I can afford to travel on a private transport, hopefully soon If I get the chance. Anyway I always bring something that makes my long travel journey comfortable like a small neck pillow and listening to a refreshing music. Through this, I feel comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

  11. I would definitely say temperature is my biggest problem, I am either cold or carrying a pack of unnecessary clothes around! Even in hot countries due to AC … ahhh, the sweet troubles of travelling 🙂

  12. The fanciest private transport I’ve ever traveled in is a van, but maybe one day I’ll be able to fly by jet hahaha Meanwhile I agree with everything you say, having your own vehicle is great. Stop wherever you want, change the temperature, door to door… all great!

  13. I personally prefer public transport since in addition to being cheaper, it also offers me the chance to interact with the locals. But different travellers have different priorities and those who value comfort should certainly avail themselves of the discounts on offer.

  14. comfort – for sure is really important. privacy to some extent is needed but if travel does not expose you to a variety of people, it is somewhat incomplete.
