Frequently Asked Questions
For most flyers, no. A OneFlight jet card requires a prepaid deposit starting at $100,000 before you take a single flight. Some programs add up to $15,000 in annual dues, and jet card pricing is re-rated annually. Unless you fly frequently on a predictable schedule, that is a lot of capital tied up in rates that can change. With Luxury Aircraft Solutions, you pay per trip with all-in pricing, nothing is prepaid, and a dedicated, human Charter Specialist handles every detail.
For flyers who do not want to prepay a jet card, Luxury Aircraft Solutions is a strong alternative. Every trip is quoted individually with all-in pricing, sourced from a network of 6,000+ vetted aircraft, and managed by a dedicated, human Charter Specialist.
According to OneFlight's website, its JetCards start at $100,000 with no membership dues. Its BAJCard starts at $100,000 with $15,000 in annual dues, and its Global BAJCard starts at $250,000 with $15,000 in annual dues. Its GemStone JetCard is by invitation only, with a $150,000 minimum deposit.
OneFlight advertises locked hourly rates. The company has also stated that jet card pricing is re-rated annually, so review your agreement to understand how and when your rate can change.
It depends on how often you fly. With on-demand charter, you pay the current market price for each trip and never prefund an account. For flyers who do not fly every month, that avoids tying up six figures in advance. Passport Members also receive preferred pricing on every charter flight.
Passport Membership is a subscription-based program that provides members with preferred pricing, access to empty leg opportunities, and priority service — without the capital commitment of fractional ownership or the prepayment of jet cards. It is designed for repeat private flyers who want member-level benefits while maintaining full trip-by-trip flexibility.
A dedicated, human Charter Specialist. Our technology handles logistics behind the scenes, but a real person builds your quote, answers your questions, and manages your trip from first quote to wheels-down.
Yes. You can request a quote from Luxury Aircraft Solutions for any trip at any time. Any remaining balance on an existing jet card is governed by your agreement with that provider.
On-demand charter can often be arranged with as little as 24 to 48 hours notice, and sometimes same-day for domestic flights. Booking further in advance generally provides more aircraft options and better pricing.
Reputable charter brokerages work exclusively with operators holding FAA Part 135 certificates and meeting strict safety standards. Luxury Aircraft Solutions vets every operator in its network for safety certifications, maintenance records, pilot qualifications, and insurance coverage.
