To get the best price for your private jet trip, you’ll need to use a charter broker with excellent industry contacts and impartiality.
You will only receive a competitive price from an honest broker. This is because it is the broker’s job to find you the best private jet charter cost. If they have a vested interest, this simply isn’t possible.
If the broker has an exclusive relationship with an aircraft owner or operator, they receive an increased percentage every time they manage to rent out the aircraft.
This broker would be incentivized to give you any deal – even if it’s not good value. And by law, the broker must disclose their relationship with the operator to you.
The right broker will be looking out for you and representing your best interest. In order to achieve this, they need to maintain a healthy relationship with a network of operators.
As years progress and these relationships become stronger, the broker will be able to secure better prices by default. Plus, they’ll develop a thorough understanding of where to obtain certain types of aircraft.

Making a Last-minute Booking
Our Jet Card Membership is excellent for making last-minute bookings because your funds are pre-loaded to your account. This makes the process of securing the aircraft quick and easy. Jet card members approve of flights right from their smartphone.
But, even if you’re not a member, using a charter service is still a very cost-effective option.
A lot of customers seeking a private jet charter for the first time think they can save money by booking directly with the operator. This is rarely the case. Brokers receive a discount from operators and they have access to many competing operators bidding for their business. A good charter broker will always pass on the savings to their clients while delivering safe, reliable aircraft options.
Be Flexible
We’ll do everything we can to get you your perfect aircraft. But, if you’re looking for the most cost-effective option, you’ll want to retain some flexibility.
For example, you may have your eye on a certain jet that you’re fond of. But, if there are only three or four passengers flying, it may be cheaper to secure a smaller aircraft.
If your travel dates aren’t set in stone, this can be a major plus. On some occasions, our team may be able to secure an empty leg flight for you. This can save you even more money on your private jet charter.
Keep an open mind that you should never book a private jet based on cost alone. Safety, quality, and reliability are more important. It is good to be cost-effective, but never book a flight based on cost alone.
