Backed Private Jet Booking Startup Wants To Be Uber In The Sky
02/08/2018
Fort Lauderdale based JetSmarter offers an amazing combination of value and convenience for travelers willing to share a small corporate jet with other strangers. Sometimes we have last minute flights we have to make and those prices are so expensive, plus car service and all of the other stuff that goes with it. JetSmarter prices as the date of this publication are a cool $9,000 per person per year. Many of the other key benefits of private air travel are also lost with the share-a-jet” model, but I'll leave those points for a future post.
How we are going to do it is the next Uber for Private Jet question, but we are taking baby steps to get there.” If JetSmarter is indeed able to make private jet travel more affordable, then that's going to result in a major evolution in the way we as ordinary consumers choose how to travel - which is certainly a rather exciting prospect to look forward to.
While it could secure empty legs for as little as $300 an hour, the cost to rent scheduled charter service on a jet runs between $5,000 and $15,000 an hour. Available flights appear in the app as a list by airports nearest you, and your Frequent locations” may still be set for optimal flight routes.
That includes single-seat bookings on established JetShuttle routes between major cities around the world as well as single-seat bookings on empty-leg flights, which the company includes in its JetDeals program. He founded JetSmarter in 2013. One-way private charters to New York started around $14,000.
We want to provide sports fans with a luxury experience to enjoy to and from the big game—and meet and network with great people on the way there,” said Ronn Torossian, Chief Business Officer of JetSmarter. JetSmarter has a shared flight program, as well, where you choose the location and allow others to buy the empty seats.
Yelp users haven't asked any questions yet about JetSmarter. If you decide to take the plunge with JetSmarter , you can get $2500 off using my exclusive code: MILLMENTOR”. Typically, your JetSmarter membership gives you 1 to 4 seats on these private jets for free.
Sure I've had seats at the dining table, which are honestly quite fine because I like to work on flights, (and there's free wi-fi), but I've also had other seats as well. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.
The JetSmarter business model involves a membership scheme. Another member initially said he was kicked out for complaining about the service, but later acknowledged that someone at the company told him the reason for his cancellation was lewd comments he'd made on a flight.
Founder and CEO, Sergey Petrossov (Forbes' 30 Under 30 Business Leaders of 2016), describes how the process of exclusive flight chartering was once prohibitive, non-transparent and archaically-managed, catering to a small group of clients with inefficient routing.
Jetsmarter chartered a replacement jet, a JetLinx Challenger 604, to take us out to Denver. All flights come with ‘white glove' service and you'll be whisked straight through security queue-free and onto the plane for a complimentary flute of bubbly. Some members claimed that their memberships were not renewed because they complained publicly about the service, and many others said they were afraid to voice their honest opinion, even in private chat rooms.
JetSuite is a private jet charter service that is affiliated with jetBlue. JetSmarter came into existence to provide a convenient way of travelling hassle-free through its ‘Uber for Private Jets' services. The idea behind this promotion is obviously to break the most hardcore frequent flyers out of their shell and show them what JetSmarter's charters are all about.
Jet Smarter has developed a system to make use of wasted private jet capacity, thereby making private air travel a more cost-effective operation. If the average flight was two and half hours and cost $10,000 an hour, JetSmarter's shuttle program would cost $260 million a year.
