Funds don’t expire, but deposits are non-refundable.

Airacer is selling its new jet cards in increments of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 hours.

There is no price difference between 10 and 20 hours of service.

There are also no joining or membership fees.

You can use more than one aircraft on the same day.

Bermuda, select Caribbean destinations, and Mexico are included with a 15% surcharge with a 180-minute daily minimum.

Ultra-long-haul rates can be used for flights between North America and Europe, as well as between Asia and Europe.

You get a $250 per-flight catering credit.

Jet card clients also get car service transfers.

Wifi is guaranteed for domestic U.S. flights.

Deicing is extra.

Downsides include a 120-minute daily minimum for light and midsize jets.
