Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about chartering a jet for the day.

A day charter is a round-trip itinerary where the aircraft stays at your destination and waits for you. You pay for the flight hours plus wait time, rather than booking two separate one-way legs which may require different aircraft.
Day charters are built for flexibility. We build in a buffer and can extend wait time with minimal notice. If plans change dramatically, we can also reposition a different aircraft for your return.
Standard complimentary refreshments are included on most jets. Premium catering — from specific restaurants or dietary menus — can be arranged at cost. We coordinate this during booking so it is ready at the FBO or onboard.
Yes. Multi-leg day charters are common for site visits or meetings in multiple cities. Each additional stop adds flight time and landing fees, but the aircraft remains with you for the entire itinerary.
