Hey guys, my partner and I have been searching for a year or so now to try and find a private jet service that was affordable for those of us that are making money but can't afford to spend what a fractional ownership costs or even fly with a card that has hours on it. Everything we looked into was way to expensive and not cost effective.
Recently I had a friend of mine tell me about a company that was in the works called jumpjet. The idea was to create a service that flew you privately from non-commercial airports for near what a first class ticket would cost. I, of course was like.....yeah..... right. Well at the beginning of June they flew 50 successful flights. They had so many more people sign up than anticipated that the reservation system could not handle the load. So they sent an e-mail out to everyone saying they would be refunding June's dues and would be pulling the system off line to re vamp it and they would be back on line again by mid august. They in fact did come back on line 2 weeks ago and will resume flights as of Sept 10th. I have booked 2 fights so far.
The system works like a commercial airline booking. You do need to plan 14 days in advance and be able to be somewhat flexible as there may not be a plane available to take you where you want to go on certain days. If there are other people flying to where you are going you will share the private jet with them but you will not stop anywhere along the way. All flight are direct. There is 3 levels of membership with the highest allowing a 5 day reservation booking time and the most amount of flight per month. Silver, Gold , Platinum and corporate are the different levels. My partner and I are attempting to establish a corporate membership but they are so green right now its still up in the air so we signed up for silver memberships. Go to the website and check it out. I think most of you will be surprised at what you read and how it works. The base membership requires a 3 month commitment at $2,500 a month. That price drops to $2,250 if you commit to 6 months and $2,000 if your commit for a year. Its billed monthly not all at once. For that level you get 1 to 2 flights per month and are allowed to take up to 2 or 3 people with you. You can add more people for an additional fee. There are no fuel surcharges or anything else. Everything is included in your monthly fee. Your name gets run through the TSA and once you are approved you are done for the life of your membership along with who you add to fly with you. You arrive 15 minutes before wheels up and you go. No security or BS.
A few of the catches are
1) There are only certain cites that they call "originating cites" that you have to live in or fly out of to be a member. Right now I think there are 30 or 35, but they fly to over 5,000 cities nationwide.
2) You can only fly within 1,800 nautical miles (about 2,100 regular miles) from your originating city, if you need to go further you can pay the additional fee.
3) If you don't use your flights within the month, you lose them. Its a use it or lose membership, the only exception to this is if you book a flight and cannot get one with a day or two of when you need to fly, you will then be re-reimbursed with an additional flight at the end or your membership or whenever you need it.
If any of you do sign up please reference my name as I will get some bonus flights for anyone that signs up using me as a referral. Anthony Pavone is my full name.
Even if you do not sign up or are interested, I still suggest checking it out as it fits right in with what this forum is all about. The founder is Wil Ashcroft and was the pilot for air-force one during the Regan admin. I've spoken to him on the phone a few times in the past couple weeks and this guy is on the ball. He was telling me everyone in the industry thought he was crazy and said it wouldn't work. He has so far proved them wrong with his 50 successful flights already flown and said he is in the process of figuring out a way to protect his idea so no one else can steal it. Don't know if thats going to work but we'll see. He also has yet to get flights off the ground again. My first flight is booked for Sept 13th and we are going up to our place in Utah and we will fly in to a small airport 10 minutes from our house vs. flying into Salt lake which is a 1 hour and 15 minute drive. My second flight is to Chicago in Oct. to a marketing show. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes for me.
