While this may seem out of reach for most families, seats on private planes could be a lot more affordable than you think - costing just a few hundred pounds.

Website sells empty leg seats, which are empty flights that have to operate to get the planes from one place to another.

This also includes an open bar and full meal service - so while pricier than some flights, is only a few hundred more than economy services.

Even cheaper is a flight from London to Brussels next month, costing £4,500 for eight passengers - working out to £562 per person.

The same flight in July costs as much as £528 - so not much difference for your own private plane experience, when meals and drinks are included.

There are other routes across Europe which are slightly pricier, including to Venice and Majorca, although they also come with your own personal flight attendant.

You can also rent out an entire Ryanair plane, but it's much pricer, costing m ore than £4,000.
