• "Business jet" is the term used for any private jet rental, whether the purpose is business or pleasure.
  
• As with boats, jet rentals are cheaper with the cost divided among more passengers.
  
• A weekend ski trip to Vail from Los Angeles is $13,000 on a Learjet with a capacity for eight people — price per person, $1,625.
  
• Put eight people on that plane to Puerto Vallarta and they'll only pay $1,000 apiece
  
• Other advantages of renting a business jet include parking near the plane, no check-in lines, no security screening and of course, no other passengers.
  
• Other amenities to consider: gourmet meals, Internet connections and privacy.
  
• Some jets even have bedrooms.
