Private jets are faster, safer, and more luxurious than regular flights. You can access a private flight by owning an aircraft, chartering on-demand flights, or joining a private jet card program.
While each option has its perks, today we will explore the ten benefits of private jet cards.
Private jet cards allow you to pre-purchase your flight hours. This convenience makes budgeting easier as you can set aside travel funds at a fixed rate at the start of the year. Therefore, you won’t need to plan for prices rising throughout the year due to outside influences.
When you choose a flight, you pay a fixed hourly rate, which saves you money in the long run. Instead of extra fees that come with on-demand flights, you can count on your rate to remain the same. For example, you won’t need to pay a repositioning fee for one-way flights in specified areas.
Even though you have already bought flight time, you still have flexibility in how you use your hours. The amount of flexibility varies from program to program. However, here at Jettly, we allow users to carry over their hours if they don’t use them by their expiration. You can also upgrade or downgrade your flight choice for an adjusted hourly deduction rate, so you still control what types of planes you use.
Most importantly, you have cancellation flexibility within a set time frame. So, you won’t lose any money if you cancel your flight before the cut-off time of your specific program.
When you purchase a private jet card, you also receive rewards and discounts from your chosen program. These may include discounts when you buy hours in bulk, price matching, rewards program participation, and membership gifts.
If you need a flight, your jet card streamlines the process to save you time and effort. For example, you can easily select your next flight with a click of a button instead of filling out paperwork and going through the payment process of on-demand flights.
Jet card programs offer a huge fleet of aircraft available when you need them and to any place you need to travel. For example, at Jettly, you can access over 23,000 aircraft. This availability also means that several people can travel simultaneously from different places, such as for multi-employee business trips or family meetups.
Through your jet card program, Flights undergo extra safety checks and procedures to guarantee you have the most reliable flight. You also can access information about the flight crew and their training for additional peace of mind.
In addition, you have the added safety that comes with a private flight, such as minimizing the risk of exposure to illnesses from unknown passengers.
At times, jet programs will upgrade you to a better flight because of operational reasons or availability. For example, one report found 30% of all jet card member flights were upgraded. This means that you don’t have to worry about delayed flights or cancellations. Instead, you should have access to an upgraded flight if there are delays with your original aircraft.
Your private flight comes with benefits to make your experience as comfortable as possible. While each program varies in travel perks, here are a few standard bonuses:
In addition to in-flight perks, many programs also offer services for when you reach your destination. Some of these services may include:
