How to: book charter flights without sky-high membership fees, prepaid jet cards, blackout dates or aircraft restrictions.

Air charters have been made easy. Now you can make the most of your time and money, by only paying for flights as you need them. Plus, with no restrictions on aircraft and airports, you always book what’s best for you.

How does it work? This article will show you.

Spoiler alert: no jet brokers or jet cards are required.

1. You Are In Control

All private jet cards have restrictions. There are blackout dates, peak day surcharges, lead-in times, rerouting fees and more. But jet cards are not the only way to book charter flights.

Charters can be easier. Much like booking a commercial flight, you can use an online marketplace to search for the flights you need. Consider Airvel, the world’s leading booking engine for private jet charters.

You can use these articles to compare all the options available to you:

2. An Unrestricted Choice of Aircraft and Routes

Airvel’s online marketplace offers the widest possible choice of aircraft and airports. You can fly anywhere. There are no restrictions on aircraft. You book the most suitable aircraft for every flight – unlike a jet card you are not tied into a specific aircraft.

Every flight is different; destinations, number of passengers, take-off time, airport FBO, aircraft cabin configuration, flight duration, on-board amenities. Realizing the benefits of private air charters means booking flights on an individual basis. They should be selected and customized based on exactly what you need. That’s what you do with Airvel.

3. There Are No Up-Front Costs

Jet cards have convinced the air charter market that a prepaid membership is essential. There is no reason to prepay.

Jet cards start at USD 50,000 while a single charter flight may only cost USD 4000. These sky-high membership fees price many people and companies out of booking charter flights.

With Airvel you only pay for flights that you need. There are no unused or wasted jet card hours, nor any long-term commitment to flying on a private jet.

Book charter flights on an individual basis and there are various strategies for reducing the costs.
