Private jet seats and charter
Tell us your route and date. We check for seats on scheduled private flights and price the whole aircraft alongside, all-in, so you can choose.
Thanks. Your advisor will email any seats flying your way, plus whole-jet options, each priced all-in.
No seat is held and nothing is charged until you say yes and sign.
Request a quote without signing up, paying upfront or committing to anything.
Quotes include the 7.5% federal excise tax, segment fees and the usual extras, itemized.
The same person handles your trip from the first request to landing.
Every flight is run by a certificated air carrier, or its foreign equivalent.
Two ways to fly
Seats are only sold on flights set up to sell them, so they follow set routes and timetables. The whole aircraft goes where you need, when you need. One request and we check both.
By the seat
Pay for the seats you need on a private flight that is already scheduled: a small cabin, a private terminal and a fixed departure time.
The whole aircraft
The aircraft is yours for the trip: your airports, your departure time, your passengers and your luggage, anywhere in the world.
Where it flips. Add up the seats your group needs and compare that with the price of the whole aircraft. Past a certain headcount, the jet costs less per person. The calculator finds that number for your trip.

Per-hour figures are typical US charter estimates before federal excise tax and fees. Your quote is for a specific aircraft and itinerary.
How it works
Route, date, headcount, and whether a seat would work for you.
We look for scheduled seats on your date and ask Part 135 operators to price the whole aircraft.
Your advisor emails the choices side by side, each with the aircraft type and a price that includes tax and fees.
Approve an option, sign the agreement that names the operating carrier, and meet the crew at the private terminal.

Safety and standards
We are the broker: we find the aircraft, agree the price and manage the details. The flying is done by FAA Part 135 air carriers, or their foreign equivalents, which hold operational control of every flight.
Before you pay, you know the operator, the aircraft type and which third-party audits the operator holds.
US on-demand charter must be flown by a certificated air carrier with FAA-approved training, maintenance and operating procedures.
ARGUS (Gold, Gold+, Platinum), Wyvern (Wingman) and IS-BAO (stages 1 to 3) review operators’ safety programs, records and procedures.
Federal rules cap how long a crew can be on duty and require rest between trips. Late changes are planned around them.
Your agreement shows the operating carrier before you pay, so you know exactly who is flying you.
FAQ
The short version of what people ask before their first private flight.
Yes, on flights that are set up to sell individual seats, such as semi-private scheduled services and public charters. They run on set routes and timetables. An ordinary charter is sold as the whole aircraft, which you can share with your own guests. We check both for your trip.
A seat is priced per person on a scheduled flight. A charter is priced for the aircraft, so the cost per person falls as your group grows. For one or two travelers a seat is usually cheaper; for a larger group the whole jet often is.
Flight time, positioning, the 7.5% federal excise tax on domestic flights, the per-passenger segment fee, landing and handling fees and crew costs. Extras you choose, such as catering or Wi-Fi, are itemized, and possible charges such as winter de-icing are shown as estimates.
No. A quote costs nothing and you can simply walk away from it. Payment terms appear in the charter agreement, which you read before you book.
The operator does: an FAA-certificated Part 135 air carrier for US trips, or its counterpart abroad. Buy a Jet Seat arranges the trip, and the operator, named in your agreement, flies it.
On many charter aircraft, yes, with the operator’s approval. Seat flights set their own pet policies, often with a limit per cabin. Mention pets in your request and we will only offer options that accept them.
Yes, all three, in the US and worldwide. For a multi-city trip, list the extra legs in the notes and your advisor will price the whole itinerary.
It depends on the aircraft. Light jets suit a soft bag or two per person; larger cabins take golf bags and skis more easily. Seat flights publish their own limits. Tell us what you are bringing and we will match the aircraft to it.
