Private Charter Flight ID Requirements

There are many ways in which charter aircraft operations differ from commercial airlines, but one way that usually remains the same is with regard to passenger identification. The best charter jet flights require two forms of ID before passengers can board the airplane. This isn't just to protect the private charter jet operation, it's also designed to prevent identity theft and misuse of your charter membership. The best charter jet operations do allow you to transfer your membership privileges to anyone you choose, but the identification requirement is designed to insure that those who do use your privileges are authorized by you to do so. Depending on the flight, you may encounter additional security requirements, and there are FAA regulations that govern travel with firearms and other hazardous materials. You may need to carry additional paperwork based on your luggage or any cargo or samples you bring with you on the flight.

Charter flights require two forms of ID, but if you are traveling in a heavy jet to an overseas location you will need additional paperwork such as your passport, visa, or diplomatic papers. Military members should carry a copy of their orders, leave forms, or other paperwork. For some international flights, clearing customs may be required even if you don't intend to leave the airport. International security situations may require an inspection of the aircraft. In some ports, running a drug-sniffing dog is a routine matter, but some may misinterpret the routine as some kind of special investigation.
