Private jet charters are special for some clients and
an every-day occurrence for others. But this begs the question of when it truly
makes sense to take a private jet charter over other forms of air
transportation.
Private Jet Charters – Best value for use between 0-500
hours per year
Fractional Ownership – Higher cost for use under 50 or over
150 hours per year
Full
Ownership – Higher cost for use under 500 hours per year
But there are also specific reasons for travel that make
a charter the best option. Let’s explore these and see when it makes the most
sense to take a private jet charter.
Private Jet Charters for Business
Private jet charters are often used for business travel and
trips, whether for a meeting, conference, or convention – it is a convenient
way for your CEO, CFO, or founder to travel.
A private jet charter saves time, delivers
flexibility, and a higher quality of service than first-class or business
class, without having to deal with depreciation, maintenance costs, or owning only one plane like you would with fractional or full
ownership.
However, one of the biggest reasons that
corporate leaders and business professionals prefer to use our On
Demand private jet charters is
because of the image it projects. It shows success to your clients and
competition and is a great way to reward you or your team’s hard work.

says traveling for work has to be work? Enjoy the flight with Vault Aviation.
For Vacation
Private jet charters are also popular for vacations, as
it cuts down on travel time, lets you begin your relaxation earlier, and gives
you more vacation overall.
And even though vacations are supposed to be fun and
peaceful, a break from work, they can also be stressful. Vault
Aviation and our On Demand charters can greatly
reduce the stressors involved with travel, vacation planning, and logistics.
Because with a private jet charter, you are fully in control with the
flexibility, personalization, and seamless travel you and your family deserve.
Additionally, you get to begin your family time sooner
with a private jet charter, as your vacation begins as soon as you arrive on
the tarmac. With a private jet charter, you gain privacy, time, and value – all
while being able to personalize your trip any way you like. It’s truly a
win-win.
For Special Occasions
Honeymoons, anniversaries, reunions, birthdays, and more
– nothing makes a special occasion that much more special than starting it off
on a private jet charter. The occasion is meaningful – so your transportation
should be too!
The luxury that a private jet charter provides cannot be
matched even by the top commercial private suite – as they still have to cater
to the others on the plane as well. But with a private jet charter, you are the
only priority, and your event is the singular focus of your crew and your Vault
Aviation team.
For your next special occasion, make it a memorable one with
a private jet charter to your favorite city, a sentimental location, or a new
and exciting surprise!
Private Jet Charters – Because Your Time is Valuable
When you fly with Vault Aviation on one of
our On Demand private jet charters, it portrays
a successful image in business, gives you more time on your family vacation,
and makes your special event even more memorable.
Private jet charters make sense in many ways and for many
situations, as they offer more value, faster travel, convenience, flexibility,
privacy, and less stress.
Plus –
nothing makes flying more fun than having the entire experience catered to you!

a Champion on your next trip.
Some people
think that flying first
class is better,
others heartily disagree and think having your own private jet charter takes
the cake. But Vault
Aviation loves all
kinds of flying – that’s why we made it our livelihoods!
And that is precisely
why we want to settle the age-old question once and for all:
Which is
Better, First Class or Private Jet Charters?
We looked into five areas – flexibility, luxury, price, customization, and time to see who takes the cake, and which luxury air travel will be named the winner of this debate.
First Class VS Private Jet Charters: Flexibility
Private Jet Charters: The flexibility of a ‘private’ anything is
one of the strong points for the industry, so you can imagine that this first
fight will be quite one-sided. The beauty of a private jet charter is that you
can choose to leave when you want, to go where you want, on what you want, and with whom you want. You can also change
those plans or your itinerary easily and without the problem of commercial
airplane schedules and timelines interfering. This seems to make flexibility a
hearty point for private jet charters.
First Class: Though first class offers some wiggle room, you still have
very little flexibility as you aren’t the one directing the plane. Even if
you’re the only first-class passenger (or the entire first class is part of
your party) you still cannot change the planes plans, schedule, of course,
because there are hundreds of others in the back who also paid for tickets.
Winner: Ultimately,
first class gives very little flexibility, as there are others on the plane
that need to be considered:
1 – 0
for Private Jet Charters
First Class VS Private Jet Charters: Luxury
Private Jet Charters: Private Jet Charters are often considered
the peak of luxury, but that depends on which plane you
choose, as well as
the company, amenities, and service. Private jet charters can vary greatly in
these luxury areas, meaning that sometimes the luxury of a private jet charter
will exceed that of first class (as Vault Aviation thinks it should) but
sometimes, unfortunately, it doesn’t – especially with sub-par private jet
brokerage companies.
First Class: First class seems to have rather consistent luxury
across many airlines, or at least a consistent baseline or minimum required.
But there are still always others to contend with, which can drastically lower
the perceived luxury. Additionally, the best private jet charter will always
out-luxury the best first-class commercial flight. This makes the winning point
difficult to award…
Winner: Due
to the inconsistencies in luxury in both categories, plus the fact that the
worst and best are often private jet charters, both will receive a half point:
1.5 –
.5 for Private Jet Charters
First Class VS Private Jet Charters: Price
Private Jet Charters: Private jet charters tend to be the less
cost-effective way to travel due to their privacy, luxury, and flexibility. Usually,
private jet charters aren’t chosen for their inexpensive price tags.
First Class: First class between major hubs within the US can often
be found for under $1,000, which makes them the economical choice for flyers who
want a little more luxury for a little higher price. Therefore, the winner
seems clear when it comes to price – though maybe not true value…
Winner: First
class is more cost-effective for single flyers, as well as non-intercontinental
flights:
1.5 –
1.5 for a draw
First Class VS Private Jet Charters: Customization
Private Jet Charters: Customization is another area in which
private jet charters shine, as you can choose the entertainment, vibe, food,
occupancy, interior, service, and more when you book a charter. This is mainly
because you have all the control, instead of the commercial airline having it
all.
First Class: First class might have better menu options, but you
(again) still have to be aware that others are on the plane, in your section
and not, so you cannot have the same level of control and customization as you
can on your very own plane – even if it’s only yours for that particular
flight.
Winner: Hands
down, when it comes to customization, private jet charters are the winners:
2.5 –
1.5 for Private Jet Charters
First Class VS Private Jet Charters: Time
Private Jet Charters: Private jet charters were made for speed –
no, they don’t necessarily fly any faster, but that doesn’t mean they don’t
save you time. In fact, private jet charters can save you time in lines,
security, boarding, taxying, take-off, landing, taxying again, more lines, and
even land you closer to your final destination since there are more private
airstrips than commercial ones – meaning less traffic, and less time wasted
even after you’re out of the airport.
First Class: First class might have more comfortable waiting
lounges, but it still takes just as long to get to your final destination. And
sure, you can board first – but that just means you wait on the tarmac even
longer – that’s hardly a perk!
Winner: By
saving you time before, during, and after your flight, private jet charters
clearly know the value of your time:
3.5 –
1.5 for Private Jet Charters
And There You Have It – 3.5 to 1.5 – Private Jet Charters Win Out Over Even First Class
If you would
like to take the next step in flexible, luxury, customized air travel, then call Vault Aviation today – our team is standing by to find you the
perfect jet at the perfect price point. Or, check out our MAX Jet Card for even more offers and benefits.
We saw a problem
with the Private Jet Charter industry, not only in how it was run, but problems in how their reward programs or ‘jet
cards’ were handled as
well. So, just like we coined and improved On Demand Jet Charters, we also created an improved private jet card
that gets you MAXimum flexibility, MAXimum security, and MAXimum value.
And we aptly dubbed it the MAX Jet Card. Learn more about the benefits exclusive to our Vault Aviation MAX Jet Card below.
Access to All Cabin Classes & All Aircraft
No more
trying to fit 8 people on a 6-person jet because that’ll all that’s available.
And no more having to use a Heavy for a trip that should be done with a more
comfortable Midsize.
The MAX Jet Card guarantees that we will be able to get you
the cabin
class you want,
the aircraft size you need, and all without the hassle of a multi-company
runaround. Because Vault
Aviation is full
service, meaning we do it all – you merely need to show up.
Fixed Hourly Rate Maximums
Some of our
clients think this sounds strange – after all, why would you want to have a set
maximum? Because then there are no surprises. We have fixed hourly maxes, and
we make sure you know exactly what they are.
This means
you will only ever pay that amount or less, not the other way around. This also
helps us guarantee you get the best rates, as we negotiate these maximums
before you ever take off with the private jet owner or company.
No cost
surprises, ever.
Free Cabin Class Upgrades When Available
Just because
we get you the best rate, doesn’t mean you cannot have the best flight
experience. In fact, whenever available, Vault Jet negotiates you to have a cabin class upgrade (if desired by the client) for free.
This means
you will never have a jet that is less than you expected, and you will always
be blown away by the cabin class you get, either by it meeting your original
specifications, or by it going above and beyond.
Think of it
as the inverse to our rate maximums – you’ll never get a higher price than you
were expecting, and you’ll never get a lower cabin class than you were expecting.
We think that’s the perfect mix.
Never Any Blackout Dates
Vault Aviation guarantees that we will never have ‘blackout
dates’, after all, what’s the point of having the freedom and flexibility of a
jet card if you cannot use your flights or funds when you want?
This was one
of the largest issues we encountered with the Jet Card programs from other
companies, and this is the largest issue we decided to fix.
Guaranteed Mechanical Recovery
If there is a
mechanical issue – that isn’t your problem, it’s ours. And that means you will
not be delayed or have your flight canceled due to mechanical issues or
staffing. We will always find you another jet to get you where you need to be,
when you need to be there.
One of the
benefits of private jet charters over full or partial ownership is the fact
that you don’t have to deal with mechanical issues – and we think Jet Cards
should offer that same benefit.
Never Any Membership Fees
At Vault Aviation, we think membership fees are unfair, and we
think our clients shouldn’t be treated unfairly. That means our MAX Jet Card will never have any hidden fees, yearly
payments, or membership fees.
Instead, you
merely load your card and use it. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? We don’t think Jet
Cards need to be complex to be good.
Always Available, Guaranteed
Vault Aviation puts our clients first, which means we put
communications with you first as well. If you need us, if you have a change or
an issue or even just a question – we will be there to help.
The Vault Aviation team is a family, and we believe in treating our clients like
family as well, that’s why we have the best reviews in the industry, and the
best guarantees to back up our promises.
Your Funds Never Expire
Some Jet
Cards make you use your funds in a certain time period – but your cash never
expires, so why should it once it’s within your jet card account? We thought
that sounded like a scam, and unlike many private jet charters, we don’t try to
trap you into business with us. Instead, we treat you so well, we know you’ll
come back.
That’s why we
made your funds never expire on your MAX Jet Card because your money shouldn’t lose value just
because it ages.
Your Balance in Your Account is Fully Refundable
Along the
lines of ‘expiring funds’, another major issue in the Jet Card industry is that
your funds are locked in, or held hostage, once you load them into your account
or onto your card. Often, you aren’t allowed to withdraw your own funds, or, if
the company lets you, the charge you a fee – for your own money!
Vault Aviation never charges fees, and never holds your
money hostage on your MAX
Jet Card. Instead,
you can refund your balance at any time, add more, add less, or use it for
other purposes.
That just
made sense to us.
If refundable
balances, no fees, guaranteed availability, and no blackout dates make sense to
you as well, then maybe it’s time you ditch your old private jet charter
company and try Vault
Aviation and our MAX Jet Card
program instead.
Vault Aviation loves to travel, and though we have some staples that we
try to visit every year, there are always new destinations to add to your
bucket list.
Of course, no matter where you go, you should always go
in the comfort, style, and value of a private jet charter with Vault Jet.
In case you are having trouble deciding where to go this
summer vacation – check out our list of the top 6 private jet charter destinations
for the sunny months and fly like a champion this summer.
Take a Private Jet Charter to Las Vegas & Live It Up
We love Las Vegas for more than its gambling and over-the-top reputation. What we actually love most about Las Vegas is that it’s in Nevada, and Nevada gets hot in the summers. This makes Las Vegas the perfect setting for the ultimate pool parties.
Aren’t into the party scene this summer? Check out these additional places to visit:
MGM Grand
Grand Canyon
Bellagio Fountains
Fremont
Street
See it All in Iceland This Summer
Maybe we missed the mark with Las Vegas for some of our private jet charter guests who are looking for more natural beauty and less man-made structures. If so, then Iceland is the perfect summer destination for you!
With the summer solstice boasting 24-hours of sunlight,
the summer is a great and unique time to visit this beautiful country. And
don’t let the name scare you, Iceland is actually mild in the summer, with
temperatures reaching between 55 and 70 degrees throughout the summer months.
Check out these great areas, cities, and landmarks in
Iceland:
Reykjavik

Fly to Bali for a Summer You’ll Never Forget
Bali isn’t just for honeymooners and
backpackers any more – it is quickly becoming one of the premier summer
destinations in large part to its picturesque beauty and natural wonder. Bali
has beaches, entertainment, temples, and natural beauty, as well as resorts,
nightlife, and some of the most striking sunsets in the world.
Pile on top the fact that Bali has mountains, reefs,
volcanoes, and forests and it almost seems like this Indonesian area has it
all.
Check out Benoa Beach, Legian, Tanah Lot Temple, Uluwatu
Temple, Ubud Monkey Forest, Seminyak, and Mount Batur to get the most out of
your time in Bali. And, of course, get there on a private jet charter from Vault
Aviation to complete your perfect summer holiday.
Take a Private Jet Charter to Maui, Hawaii
If Las Vegas is too wild, Iceland is too tame, Colorado
is too close, and Bali is too far for you this summer, then consider a private jet
charter to Maui as you perfectly balanced getaway.
With over 30 miles of beach, a relaxed atmosphere, and
the serene beauty we all crave on vacation, Maui is the perfect Hawaiian
destination.
Whether you want to lay on a beach reading a book or try
surfing or snorkeling in Molokini, Maui is a great place to explore for the
adventurous and the leisurely alike.
Make sure you visit:
Haleakala National Park
Iao Valley
Molokini
Kaanapali Beach
Seven Sacred
Pools
Enjoy Salt Lake City This Summer
Our final private jet charter summer destination is none
other than Salt Lake City, Utah. Surprised?
You shouldn’t be!
Salt Lake City is beautiful in the summer with beaches,
mild weather, and just enough tourism to make your time simple and seamless.
From their gardens to the Hogle Zoo, Salt Lake City has so much more to offer
than most think.
Go hiking, cave touring, and camping or go shopping,
spa-hopping, or on a restaurant tour – there is no ‘vacation-style’ that Salt
Lake City cannot accommodate.
And with the convenience of a private jet charter flying
you in and out of the city whenever you want, you won’t have to waste time in
the airport lines or worry about over-booked flights.

Vault
Aviation is not just
your number one in On Demand private jet charters, we are also your number one
in luxury, comfort, and style.
But we get it – you’ve heard the same song and dance
every time, a company promises to be the best, talks a big game, maybe you even
believe them, but then they fall short when it really matters, every time.
Luckily, we don’t just talk a big game, and we don’t try
to convince our clients that we are
good, because we don’t have to. We let our results,
our flights, our reviews, and our value speak for themselves.
But, if even our glowing reviews from C.J. Anderson, Brady Quinn, and other past and present
clients don’t make you a believer, we bet we know what will – our safety, service, and personalization.
What is True Luxury?
Luxury can mean many different things to many different
people – but that’s the entire point of Vault Aviation and our On Demand model for private
jet charters, isn’t it?
You choose what
you want – and you tell us what means luxurious to you.
Vault Aviation isn’t about telling you what you have to
do, when you have to fly, where, or even in what manner. Instead, we happily
hand that power over to you or your assistant, so you can experience the exact
flight you want.
Maybe you prefer a jumbo jet, maybe you want certain
finishes, amenities, dining options or interior features.
Whatever your
preferences – your Vault Aviation team will meet them.
True Luxury is Full Personalization
True luxury
is having your private jet charter On Demand – wherever, however, and whenever
you want it.
With the Vault Aviation On Demand model, you get to fully
personalize and fully customize every aspect of your trip, from the dining and
the drinks to the amenities and the take-off or arrival-times. Your preferences,
not ours, are ultimately what is important – because that’s what On Demand
means!
Full personalization means you can choose any menu you
want and have it prepared exactly how you want. You can choose your companions,
your size jet, travel time, dates, hour – anything you want.
But, of course, true personalization means that if you don’t want to choose everything if you would rather relax and let someone else sort out the details, then just point your Vault Aviation expert in the right direction and we’ll do the rest!
True choice is
true luxury, and though big airlines or companies try to keep up and give you
‘choices’, they just can’t beat the quality of private.
True Luxury is Amazing Service
Vault Aviation is known for going the extra when it comes
to our clients and the service we provide. From speedy and knowledgeable
replies, to always getting them the best value for the jet charter they want,
you simply cannot beat our customer care and service.
This is a large part of our luxury, because without
amazing customer service – are you really being indulged? Are you really being
given the royal, lavish treatment that you deserve when you fly privately?
No.
No matter how grand the aircraft or how personalized your
trip happens to be, if the service isn’t superb, then neither is the flight.
True Luxury is ‘Above-and-Beyond’ Safety
At Vault, we
take safety as seriously as we take your satisfaction and our service – meaning
it is paramount.
Vault Aviation exclusively charters aircraft that have
been audited by The Aviation Research Group US (“ARGUS”) or Wyvern. ARGUS
audits operator maintenance records, flight histories, insurance coverage,
frequency of inspections, as well as a program’s ability to exceed FAA standards.
This means that ARGUS is the top rank of safety for
private air travel, which is why Vault measures every charter against their
standards.
For operators of our flights, we use ARGUS’ four-tier
rating system:
Does Not
Qualify
Gold
Gold Plus
Platinum
Each operator we work with provides us with their latest
records before each and every flight, ensuring that they’re fully cleared
before you ever get on the runway. Prior to flights, we will request an ARGUS
TripCHEQ as well, to make sure that the not only the operator, but the aircraft,
crew, and trip meet ARGUS standards too.
There are no
cutting corners with safety when you fly with Vault Aviation.

clients like they’re a part of the team – and we treat our team well. Fly Like
a Champion with Vault Aviation for Your Next Private Jet Charter.
On Demand private jet charters might seem like something of a buzz word lately, but it’s actually everything that Vault Aviation stands for – which is exactly why we created it, of course.
Vault Aviation saw a serious gap in the private jet charter business,
and with our previous experience working in the industry long before ‘On Demand’ became
a thing, we thought we could do it better.
We wanted to listen to what our clients were saying,
really listen, and change to meet and exceed their needs. Instead of being a
company that looked first to profits and second to people, we decided to switch
those two around and see if it worked better.
And it did.
What Does ‘On Demand’ Really Mean?
Our unique On
Demand private jet charter model essentially gives you every
benefit that full jet owners experience, but without all the maintenance, exorbitant
costs, and depreciation.
Thanks for the Featured Snippet, Google
With no membership fee or upfront costs, our On
Demand program lets you pay for each flight on a
trip-by-trip basis. That means you don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars
sitting in your ‘private jet account’, but instead, you can simply pay as you
go.
On Demand Charters | Your Luxury Taxi + Concierge
Think of us as your luxury taxi in the sky – or, more aptly, your
limo in the sky. You essentially have three options:
Full Ownership: You could buy a limo, but the value of that
vehicle is only going to go down.
Fractional Ownership: You could partially own that limo, and
therefore only be responsible for part of the depreciation and maintenance, but
then you can’t use it whenever you want.
Charter: You could call the limo company whenever you need it, pay
for that specific trip, and then have the company take care of the rest –
guaranteeing you always have a limo when you want it, without paying for any of
the depreciation or maintenance.
No sharing, no depreciation, and no hassles. That’s the beauty of chartering
just about anything.
But the difference between charters and On Demand charters is
that we take care of everything, not just the flight. We become your personal
concierge from your front door to your final destination.
How Do On Demand Private Jet Charters Work?
Essentially, it comes down to the fact that our team at Vault
knows a lot of people in the industry, and we use those many relationships to leverage
aircraft operators around the world. This means we create a micro-market for
each and every charter trip you ask for.
Rather than using some outdated ‘fixed-price’ model that chains
people into high prices and lowers personalization capabilities, our On Demand model does the
opposite and actually lowers prices by promoting competition on your behalf.
And that’s what allows Vault to offer the best market price for every
flight we charter.
Our process is designed for ease and simplicity:
First, simply give your Vault Aviation expert advisor
your trip details such as needed dates, times, destinations, and guests, as
well as any personalized touches.
Second, our experts will reach out to 10 to 20 different aircraft
operators for price quotes and assessments.
Third, we’ll use a proprietary process to identify the
true market price for the flight and use that to compare.
And finally,
after identifying the true market price, Vault will approach the operators to
secure the proper plane which aligns with the true market price and your
specific needs.
We believe that our clients deserve value, control, and choice, which is why your Vault Aviation expert advisor will present you with multiple different flight and aircraft options. These choices will consist of varying cabin classes and price points, so you can make your own choice and keep control.
Don’t want the hassle? Just tell us, and we’ll use our
knowledge to choose a great private jet charter for you that will meet the
wants and needs you’ve previously communicated.
And because we’re experts in the field, Vault will make
strategic recommendations to help you choose the best aircraft for your trip.
Isn’t It Time Your Private Jet Charter Gave You True Control?
Vault Aviation is all about letting you decide – decide your flight,
your plane, your guests, food, times, and more. Of course, you can choose not
to choose as well, and then we will take care of everything without you having
to lift a finger.
That is what we mean when we say we are your premier On Demand private jet charter. Plus, you will
never have to deal with ‘expired hours’ or nonrefundable deposits.
We saw problems in the private jet industry, and that’s
why we decided to make private aviation simple and personalized, just like it always
should have been.
Our On Demand model gives you
the most flexible way to fly privately. And because we understand that every
client is different, we work hard to tailor the experience to meet your
specific needs – no cookie-cutter flight plans here, ever.
So, whether you fly once a year for vacation or once a
week for business, Vault Aviation’s On Demand model is the
solution to your private jet charter needs.
Sometimes your assistant (or even yourself) might feel a
little flustered when chartering a private jet. After all, you want the best – the
best value, the best aircraft, the best
service, safety, company, experience, and more!
But when everyone is claiming to be the best, where do
you start?
You start with these 5 questions and things to look for.
Because a little research can go a long way in giving you (or your assistant)
the peace of mind you deserve for your next private flight experience.
1. Look at the Reviews
This might seem so simple it’s unnecessary, but in
reality, only two main types of people leave reviews – those that are extremely
happy with the service, and those that are extremely disappointed.
Though this isn’t a science, a company with many good
reviews probably offers great service, a company with many poor reviews
probably offers relatively poor service, and a company with very few reviews,
probably offers unspectacular, or ‘average’ service.
Of course, there are other options that can affect
reviews, and there will always be anomalies, but being able to hear from others
about their experience is a great first step when you are considering
chartering a jet from a company you do not yet know.
Ask About Satisfaction Guarantees
Having a phone, email, or even a face-to-face meeting?
Ask your private jet charter company about their satisfaction guarantees, their
reviews, and their loyal customers.
Sometimes just coming right out and asking is the best
way to get clear answers, and you should never feel shy or embarrassed for
asking a company about their caliber of services.
2. Look at the Pricing
No, we don’t actually mean you should look at the numbers
(though that can also be a good indication of if the company is worthy of your
business or not). What we actually mean is, are you able to see their pricing?
Are they willing to quote you? Is this quote backed by
anything or just a ‘guess’ by them? How open are they with you about their
pricing and how variable it might be?
Working with a company that communicates clearly and transparently is important, especially when it comes to such luxury businesses like private aircraft.
Ask About Clarity
It is absolutely okay for you, or your assistant, to ask about pricing, flexibility, or ask any clarifying questions about their fees. In fact, any company that seems surprised or wary of you asking completely normal and valid pricing questions is probably not very upstanding or transparent.
We think that flying should be easy, seamless, and
luxurious, and that doesn’t start once you’re in the air. We think that the
uncomplicated, seamless process should begin right when you call us, and that’s
why we will happily (and clearly) give you a breakdown of any numbers you want
to know.
3. Look for a Safety Page
Does the company explicitly talk about their safety
measures, practices, standards, and codes?
This answer should always be ‘yes’. Because no matter how
grand the company seems, or how great their service or pricing is, safety
should always be your (and their) number one priority.
And though all companies have some measure of safety
standards, you should be made aware of these standards in a meeting, through
written communication, or through their direct webpage.
Any company that seems less-than-forthcoming about its safety
standards and practices isn’t a company you want to fly with.
Ask About Safety Concerns
If you are made aware of a private jet chartering
company’s safety standards, but still have questions – that’s okay!
You should be able to ask about any and all safety
concerns you have and have them answered clearly, quickly, and honestly.
Some people are incredibly comfortable with flying
privately, others are not, but most of us fall somewhere in between. Choosing a
private jet company that puts safety first is the best way to ease the
potential stress of flying on a smaller aircraft.
4. Look at the Perks
What benefits, perks or advantages does your private jet
charter provide? Do they offer a loyalty program, jet card, or free available
upgrades? Are they full-service and On Demand? Are they willing to go above
and beyond to meet your every need?
If the answers to any of the above questions aren’t
satisfactory, and again, clearly laid out for you, then maybe you should take
your business to a company that appreciates you and treats you as such.
For example, Vault Jet is full-service (meaning you
don’t have to call multiple companies to get to your end destination) and On Demand (meaning we will take you
wherever you want, whenever you want, on whatever jet you want, with whichever
amenities you want, and whoever you want).
Fixed hourly maximums so you’ll never be surprised by a
higher price
Free cabin upgrades when available
No blackout dates
No membership fees
Guaranteed availability
Guaranteed mechanical recovery
Funds that never expire
Fully
refundable balances for any funds you don’t use
Now that’s what we call some serious
benefits.
Ask About Membership or Card Benefits
If you can’t find any benefits or membership/card perks
in the company’s information or on their website – it might be time to continue
your research elsewhere. But it can’t hurt to ask the question anyway.
Though we doubt any company would keep their benefits
hidden or difficult to find, asking about what they can offer you is a fast and
sure way to get all the information without having to search through their
webpage or their brochures.
Of course, now that you’ve seen the many advantages of Vault Jet’s MAX Card, the other companies have a tall
order to beat.
5. Look for a Thought Leader
This is something that many private jet companies fail to
see the value in – sharing their knowledge with their clients and industry.
Vault Aviation has years of experience as well as a rich history in the
industry. But we don’t want to keep all of our expertise and knowledge to
ourselves.
Instead, we want to be your trusted go-to source for
information on all things dealing with private jet charters, private aircraft,
or popular destinations. That’s why we do exactly what we’ve done above – write
and publish educational articles to help your next private flight experience be
the very best it can be.
Ask About Experience & History
Hopefully, your potential private jet chartering company
will have an ‘about us’ section to help you understand their company, but if
they don’t, ask about their experience, their expertise, and their history.
There is nothing wrong with wanting the backstory of the
company you will be flying with, especially if you hope to stick with that
company for many flights and avoid doing all this research again and again.
Learn about what makes their company unique, what their
story is, and what’s important to them? Do they work with any charitable
organizations? Do they have a passion for a particular area? And who comprises
their team? What experience do they have?
Our co-founders Weston Hull and Paul Taskalos not only
manage the day-to-day of Vault Aviation, but also still work in private jet
charter sales, and continue to find the best options for our clients year after
year.
Ask Us Anything, Vault Aviation is Here to Serve You
If you want to put us to the test against your current
private jet chartering company, then give us a
call today. We know we’ll surpass your expectations.
Private air travel seems to gain more and more popularity
each and every year, but there are still position changes in regard to what the
best private flight option is.
For example, in the beginning, full ownership reigned, as
owning your own, personal private jet was the picture of wealth, success, and
decadence.
However, soon after the initial emergence of private
aircraft, partial, or fractional, ownership gained more popularity, because the
maintenance and cost of a private jet were often too steep for the casual
flyer.
But fractional ownership still had some issues, mainly,
you only had access to one plane and that access was shared.
That’s when private jet charters began running the game,
and soon this was upgraded again to create On Demand private jet charters.
The On Demand model tried to keep all the pros of the
previous models while mitigating or doing away with the cons altogether – and
it worked. But not all options are right for all flyers, let’s find out which
private jet option is best for you.
Full Ownership of a Private Jet
This is where the majority of our minds go when we talk
about ‘flying privately’, but a lot actually goes into fully owning an asset as
large and expensive as a private aircraft.
The advantages for owning your own private jet are pretty
straight forward; first, you fully own it, so you have all of the control over its
use, amenities, and more, and second, owning a private jet is a status symbol
that is hard to match.
Additionally, if you fly over 500 hours a year, ownership
is probably your best bet, as it has relatively low costs at high levels of
use.
But most strengths are weaknesses in certain situations,
and that is true of full ownership as well.
Full ownership means you have one aircraft to fit
all of your various flight needs (unless, of course, you have a whole fleet of
jets of assorted sizes and classes at your disposal). This means you cannot
have multi-departures at one time and have zero availability during maintenance
periods.
Also, you have to take the same jet for a quick business
meeting a couple of hours away as you do for a 10-hour flight with all your
family and friends. Meaning you either have a huge jet that is sometimes nearly
empty for short hauls, or a small jet that has to take multiple trips to bring
everyone to the final destination.
Finally, there are often repositioning fees, a high
initial cost, and depreciation to worry about when you are the full owner.
Fractional Private Jet Ownership
Fractional ownership might have been brought into the
limelight by Warren Buffett, but this form of private air travel was the
standard for many years if you didn’t travel enough to make full ownership viable.
Fractional
ownership can best be explained as a timeshare for a fleet or a single aircraft,
but, because it is similar to a timeshare, it has similar issues to a timeshare.
Mainly, the
issue is right in the name: sharing.
What if you
and one of the other ‘shareholders’ want a particular jet (or the only jet) at
the same time? You are both paying large amounts for your fractional ownership,
but you cannot both use the same aircraft at once.
That means that one of the fractional owners will have to deal with a dreaded ‘blackout date’ or possibly use another jet if any are available through the company.
However, the positives of fractional ownership outweigh
the negatives for some flyers, namely, the sharing of responsibilities, cost, and
maintenance. This is an especially alluring option if you do not fly privately
often, as there is a lower cost with low utilization.
On Demand Private Jet Charters
Private jet charters have been around since the very idea
of owning a private jet, however, their practices have undergone some dramatic
improvements in recent years with the addition of the On Demand mentality.
In large part, the improvements are due to private jet
brokerage companies getting their strategy, customer service and inventory
aligned with the needs of the industry and their clients. However, just like
all the options above, there are potential downsides if your brokerage company
is not well-connected.
If your broker is not well-connected or full-service, you might need to book through
multiple operators – costing you more time, effort, and potentially money. This
is why you should always work with a full-service broker who can meet all of
your needs in one location – like Vault Jet.
With Vault, you only need to make one call and we can
have you airborne in as little as two hours! Additionally, you can choose every
aspect of your flight and customize it to match your needs or wants.
And you’ll never have to wait again, or deal with
black-out dates, as we have connections throughout the industry and can always
find you a jet that meets your needs, even on busy travel days!
Many of the pitfalls of ownership are avoided with On
Demand charters, such as the depreciation of an expensive asset, maintenance
costs, contracts, time commitments or paying for hours you won’t use, the lack
of flexibility in aircraft, and more.
Additionally, private jet charters have the lowest cost for flyers between 50-500 hours a year, which covers the
majority of flyers.

The choices are laid out, but the winner is clear – Vault
Aviation and our On Demand private jet charters are the way
to fly if you are anywhere between a rare-flyer and a daily-flight.
Let us show you the difference and Fly Like a Champion
with us!
Commercial flights are doing their best to keep up with the
private jet charter trend – but how can they when they focus on quantity and we
focus on quality?
Even first class can’t stand up to the individualized,
time-saving comfort that private air travel provides, and that’s just the tip
of the iceberg!
From convenience to stress-relief, quality and value to
privacy and image, flying privately versus on a commercial flight will make you
actually look forward to your time in the sky.
And with all the time you’ll save avoiding the waiting,
lines, security, taxying and more waiting, you’ll actually arrive at your final
destination even sooner.
Did you know that you can save hours of time when you fly
privately?
How? Because you get to skip the lines – the baggage
line, the check-in line, the security line, the boarding line, on and on it
goes. But all of those lines aren’t just annoying, they waste your time too.
Vault Jet knows how important our clients’
time is, which is why we would never dream of wasting it.
Instead, you walk straight from your car to your jet and
take off right from there. Simple, right? It’s almost like that’s how it was
meant to be.
What’s More Convenient Than Flying Private?
Convenience means you don’t have to worry about all the
logistics of private jet ownership or commercial airlines rules and regulations
– instead, you get to set the rules, the times, the whole travel experience.
Don’t want all the responsibility? Just tell our team
what you want, what you like or don’t like, and we can plan your private jet
charter experience for you.
However you want it, as involved or hands-off as you
prefer, we can make it happen.
A Focus on Quality Over Quantity
Vault Aviation focused on
each of our clients and each of their flights like it’s our only priority –
because, well, you are!
We don’t have to get 366 people on and off a single flight, turn
the plane around, and do it all over again. And because we don’t focus on just
sheer quantity – or getting as many people to as many destinations as possible
– we are able to focus on quality instead.
The quality of your service, the quality of your flight,
and the quality of your aircraft – that’s our
main focus.
The Flexibility of Private Jet Charters
If something changes and you can no longer make your
commercial flight – even if you are first class – it doesn’t matter, they will
leave without you. But with a private jet charter you are the only thing that matters.
If one of your guests is running a little late, if there
is traffic, or if your plans change, we can accommodate much better than even
the best commercial airline, because we are focused on providing you the very best service, not you plus
the other 365 people on your flight.
Individualization to a T
Do you want lobster as your main course during your
flight or a grilled cheese? Are you more interested in a quiet flight to read
or listen to music, or do you prefer it to be a party?
Our team of experts will find the perfect plan for
whatever your private flight needs and desires are. We’ve crafted everything
from corporate meetings in the sky to vacations that begin even before you
arrive at your destination.
That’s the beauty of private air travel, it isn’t just a
flight, it’s whatever you want it to be.
It’s All in the Name – Private Jet Charter
Privacy is important to many of our clients, and being on
a plane with 300 or more people, even if you’re separated by that little ‘class
curtain’, doesn’t give you much privacy at all.
This is why many opt for cabins instead of just first class,
but why rent a cabin when you could have the entire private jet to yourself
instead?
Quality Time with Your Travel Companions
If you are traveling in a group, whether for business or
pleasure, your time together is valuable. Wouldn’t you rather get to spend time
with your friends, family, or collogues in a relaxed, comfortable setting
instead of crammed into too-small seats for a too-long flight?
Stretch your legs, enjoy the company, and fly like a
champion instead of a chump next time with Vault.
No Commercial Airports? No Stress.
Some of the most frustrating places on Earth are the DMV
and airports. Unfortunately, we can only help with one of those – but luckily,
we can help with the one that you more-commonly have to deal with.
Because we have the ability to use private airports and
runways, you never have to go through the intense obstacle course that is a
commercial airport again. We make it easy for you, and we make your entire
travel – from ground to air to ground and your final destination – seamless.
Image – for Your Company, for Your Clients
There is something to be said about image and private jet
charters, and there is a reason that many higher-ups in business use private
air travel.
Of course, the perks are one of the reasons so many
prefer private jets to commercial flights, but the image it gives your
industry, your competition, and your clients is often just as important as the
comforts you get to enjoy.
Finally, a Flight Option You’ll Actually Look Forward to
One of the greatest benefits you gain from flying
privately is the enjoyment of the flight. Whether you have to fly for work, or
you choose to fly for fun, wouldn’t it be nice if you could enjoy the process
instead of dread it?
That is exactly what our client’s get when they fly with Vault
Aviation, and that’s exactly what we want you to experience too.

private air travel, along with all the accompanying benefits, easily knocks commercial
flying out of the sky.

benefits of a Jet Card plus the cost savings associated with our On Demand charter services.
