Harry Connick Jr. and Private Jet Charter Benefits
In a recent Business Jet Traveler interview, Harry Connick Jr. revealed many of the reasons flying by jet is so appealing to him, citing the time savings as the most valuable benefit, but also the convenience of private jet travel since private jets can land in airports traditional airlines simply do not service.

After all, this is a man who wears many hats, including:
- American Idol Judge
- Actor
- Musician
- Singer
- Composer
- Performer
- Author
- Father
- Husband
- Philanthropist (as a driving force behind the Musicians’ Village in New Orleans to help bring music back to The Big Easy after Hurricane Katrina devastated the region)
So, what kinds of jets does Harry Connick Jr. prefer? According to the interview, the types of private flights he takes vary according to the network or studio he’s working for, but usually take place on a GV, Hawker 800XP, or a Citation X.
