Vaunt will now have a premium tier priced at $7,495 annually while the entry-level price is increasing to $1,995.
Vaunt, the empty-leg membership arm of Volato, is expanding with a new premium membership and rebranding its current offering.
Vaunt Cabin Plus will now be the top option, while its entry-level membership is now Vaunt Core.
“The launch of Vaunt Cabin Plus represents a new chapter in our mission to democratize private aviation,” said Vaunt President Nicholas Cooper.
He added, “These membership tiers deliver value to our members and are designed to support the growth of our recently announced third-party operator program while increasing our flight inventory for members.”
Core now offers up to four passengers access to light jets.
Members receive unlimited access to Core Flight waitlists, the ability to purchase one Core Flight Priority Upgrade per year, and standby access to Cabin Plus Flights.
Vaunt Cabin Plus offers larger aircraft accommodating five or more passengers.
Cabin Plus members also receive the ability to purchase one Cabin Plus Priority Upgrade per year in addition to one Core Priority Upgrade per year and access to the same booking process.
Vaunt Core memberships are $1,995 annually.
Vaunt Cabin Plus memberships are $7,495, with a special launch offer available within the app.
Existing Vaunt Core memberships may renew their memberships through the end of November at the original launch price of $995, the original price when it was launched last year.
Members pay the annual fee, but there are no further flight fees.
However, it is a lottery system, so you list and wait to see if you get the flight.
Vaunt also added Version 2.0 of its mobile app.
The company calls it a “refined, sophisticated design built for scalability and an ambitious growth roadmap.”
Volato announced in September that it had transitioned management of its HondaJet fleet to FlyExclusive. This offered jet card members several options but not refunds specified in their contracts.
It has been warning members of the refundable Insider jet card that it may not have the funds to refund their unused balances, and if it does, refunds will not happen until 2025.
Recently, Vaunt added FlyExclusive light and midsize jets to the empty leg app.
Volato hopes to continue its business as a technology company and expand its empty-leg membership app.
