Charter on Tuesday switched its product brand to Spectrum and the recently bulked-up company ? now the dominant cable-TV and Internet service provider in Southern California with more than 3 million customer homes -- is sending strong signals that it intends to be less flexible than its predecessor.

Charter service refers to a group of people who have contracted the use of a vehicle for a certain amount of time, with a detailed itinerary, at a fixed rate.

To charter a flight means you are paying for a private plane service. Much like taking a private cab, you are in charge of where you're traveling and when you're making the journey. This means private flying is flexible, compared to scheduling a trip on regular public airplanes.
