How to order private jet catering for departures from LAJ

The aircraft type sets galley limits before the menu is written. A midsize cabin with a single oven requires mains that reheat in sequence; a large cabin with full galley allows plated service. Lead time is typically twenty-four hours for a full order, though same-day requests are absorbed when the production schedule permits. To order private jet catering, send your departure slot, passenger count, and dietary restrictions; you receive a private jet catering quote within two hours. Late changes are worked into the run if the delivery window has not closed. Crews are briefed on oven capacity and refrigeration per type.
