In our comparison of over 65 variables for private jet cards and prepaid programs, we cover a wide range of key differences. Some may be very important to you, and others won’t matter. Here are questions to ask yourself and the vendors before you sign on the dotted line:
Some programs are focused on North America, while others are global in scope. Not all U.S. programs offer national coverage, and coverage to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Canada also varies.
You’ll want to choose a program where the aircraft type accommodates the typical number of travelers in your party.
You’ll want to make sure you are looking at programs where the planes can fly you nonstop, where possible. Some programs have long-flight discounts.
While most jet card programs allow pets, there may be additional fees and some programs have age restrictions for minors traveling alone.
Most programs have peak days with higher rates and longer booking windows. There may also be blackout dates and stricter cancellation terms. Peak Day rules can make it seem like joining a different program.
Some programs with lower published rates charge a minimum of 2 hours per day when you use a plane, which might make that 40-minute hop pretty expensive. QUICK COMPARE FLIGHT PRICING enables you to compare estimated flight costs between providers and programs.
Sometimes you might want a larger or smaller plane. Conditions vary by program and vendor.
Some jet card programs offer extensive lifestyle programs, while others offer bare-bones or no programs at all.
While private aviation travel is statistically safer than flying by 12-to-1, some programs offer options that guarantee newer planes.
Not all private aircraft have WiFi. Some providers guarantee WiFi, while others don’t.
Smaller planes have less space to accommodate baggage and oversize bags, and the range of aircraft depends on the combined weight of passengers and luggage. Make sure the aircraft type you are considering can get you to your destination nonstop.
If so, you will want to take a closer look at jet card providers that have fractional or owned fleets.
Ask about how your money is held until you actually take the flight, as well as ownership, size, and company history.
Some programs allow multiple aircraft to use at the same time, others don’t, while some restrict it to non-peak days. If you are buying a program for multiple family members or your business, this could be an important factor in choosing the right program.
