FAQs

Private jet charter prices span a wide range depending on aircraft category, route, repositioning, and demand. Use the calculator above for an indicative rate specific to your itinerary, or request a personalised quotation from a charter advisor.

On-demand charter carries no capital outlay, no annual fees, and no commitment — you pay only for the flights you take. Fractional ownership and jet cards make sense above approximately 50 annual flight hours. Below that threshold, on-demand charter consistently produces a lower total cost of flying private.

Yes. Every quotation includes federal excise tax, fuel, catering allowance, and standard handling. International handling, de-icing, and route-specific items are itemised transparently before booking — never added afterwards.

A round-trip holds the aircraft for the full duration of your stay, including any applicable overnight and duty fees. A one-way booking releases the aircraft on arrival and quotes only the outbound sector — often producing significant savings, particularly when paired with an empty leg in the opposite direction.

Privé Jets confirms charters within hours of request, and same-day departures are feasible on most routes. For peak periods or specific aircraft preferences, booking five to seven days ahead provides the broadest selection and the most favourable private flight price.

No. Privé Jets is a dedicated private jet charter service — every flight is quoted on demand. A membership programme is available for clients flying above 25 hours annually; details are on our membership page.

When you confirm your flight one week in advance, your Privé Jets advisor actively searches the network for a better option against your locked membership rate — an upgrade to a larger cabin, a more suitable aircraft type, or a lower rate through network optimisation. Members who book a week ahead achieve savings of up to 18% on their confirmed hourly rate. If no better option is available, you fly at your locked rate with no adjustment. There is no penalty for booking in advance and no obligation to accept an alternative aircraft.

A private jet card membership is a prepaid access programme that gives you a fixed block of flight hours at a confirmed hourly rate. Unlike on-demand charter, where pricing varies per trip, a jet card membership locks your rate in advance — giving you cost certainty and priority aircraft access across a verified network.

Private jet membership cost depends on the tier you select and the deposit level. Privé Jets offers three private jet card programs starting from a deposit of $100,000, with hourly rates from $6,062. Each tier is structured around a specific annual flight hour profile — a dedicated advisor will recommend the right programme based on your itinerary patterns.

A private jet card requires a deposit rather than an asset purchase — there is no share to buy, no monthly management fee, and no depreciation exposure. Fractional ownership ties capital to a specific aircraft type and commits you to a multi-year contract. For clients flying under 100 hours annually, a private jet card membership consistently produces a lower total cost and greater aircraft flexibility.

No minimum annual flight commitment. Your deposit funds your flight hours at the confirmed rate until the balance is used. Unused balances are subject to the terms outlined at enrolment — a charter advisor will walk through these in full before you commit.

Yes. Privé Jets membership is available for use across all 50 US states and internationally. International segments are subject to applicable taxes and surcharges, which are itemised transparently before every booking.

Jet charter is usually more expensive than flying commercial. However, when you add the extra costs of flying with a commercial airline with parking fees, cost of time wasted, hotels, etc., you will find that private jet charter is a more sensible way to travel than you may have expected.

When you travel by private air charter, you save time by arriving closer to your ultimate destination eliminating the need for overnight stays and check-in and security lines.

Privé Jets’ Jet Card Programs provide you the flexibility of flying whenever and wherever you want. Unlike fractional jet ownership programs, our Jet Setter Program and 25-hour cards allow you to only pay for the time you fly. There are no acquisition costs, no monthly maintenance fees, and no long-term commitments. Additionally, our programs give you the flexibility of choosing the ideal aircraft for each trip. With fractional jet ownership, you do not have unlimited use of the aircraft and your air travel has to be coordinated with the number of hours purchased at the beginning of the contract obligating you to predict your aircraft usage for the next five years and locking you to a single private jet model.

We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, checks, and wire transfers.

Privé Jets is there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We understand that emergencies give no advance notice, so our team of advisors is always available for YOU regardless of the day or time.

Privé Jets is often able to book private air charter flights within just four hours’ notice. However, the sooner you call to reserve an aircraft, the better because flights are subject to aircraft and crew availability, particularly during peak travel times of the year, such as major holidays and sporting events.

You can cancel or make changes to your itinerary up to 48 hours prior to your private flight unless a different condition is set for a specific flight. If you need to cancel or make changes within 24 hours of your flight, we will pass on any incurred costs.

Privé Jets builds a personal profile for each client to ensure all air private charter flight experiences are tailored to the individual’s preferences and requests. Personalized service and strict attention to detail are cornerstones of our success at Privé Jets.

At Privé Jets, we understand that the client is the most important asset of our company. Therefore, we do not set a limit on catering or any special services you may need. We can arrange almost anything you could want for your private charter flight.

Taxes are already included but segments fees are not. This fee is charged per passenger on each leg, and does not exceed $20 USD per passenger.

Yes. Taxi time is charged at 12 minutes per leg.

For standard travel days, reservations are required at least eight (8) hours prior to the scheduled departure time. Itineraries departing before 10:00 AM (local time at the point of departure) must be confirmed before 6:00 PM (local time at the point of departure) the day prior. For international flights, additional notification requirements may vary from destination to destination. On peak travel days, reservations are required at least seven (7) days prior to the scheduled departure date.

Yes.

Yes.

There is a total of 30 peak days in a year.

Round-trip itineraries are defined as those trips that begin and end at the same airport, average at least the daily flight time minimums for each day of the trip, and can be completed within the constraints of a crew’s duty time.

A minimum of two (2) hours per day are billed for each aircraft requested on each day. Additionally, portions of any itinerary involving an interim stop other than the stop at the final destination (i.e., a “leg” or a “segment”), will be billed at a minimum of one (1) hour for each aircraft requested.
