Backed Private Jet Booking Startup Wants To Be Uber In The Sky

How about flying in style in a private jet this Christmas? Petrossov said in a statement that the emergency flights were added to warrant members' safety and offer non-members another way to get out. JetSmarter partnered with XOJET, TMC Jets, and many other top operators so that you have the nation's largest fleet of private jets at your command.

For every seat purchased, you'll automatically be reimbursed in flight credit to book future flights and extra seats. Courtesy of JetSmarter Sergey Petressov, founder and CEO of JetSmarter. JetSmarter offers scheduled JetShuttle flights and last minute JetDeals.

Now, there's a service which allows you to book a private jet through your mobile - it's being hailed as the Uber of air travel. The app makes it easy for business and leisure travellers to book private jets via the JetShuttle service. We're the fastest growing private jet company right now, democratizing the private air industry.

JetSmarter has made traveling fun and frankly exciting for me. I check that app daily for travel inspiration. JetSmarter caters to the elite with their members only air travel and lifestyle community. However, from the outside looking in, it seems JetSmarter has finally made a breakthrough with the model and is experiencing amazing success.

Most of the flights are on Learjets? Flying private speaks for itself. Overall, JetSmarter has 50 routes across three continents, with a total of 3,000+ aircraft available for booking. With a modern age disruptive stance in private aviation, the private jet community is making flying charter easier.

With the JetSmarter Simple Membership (that is reportedly going away beginning October 1, 2017), you get two free seats on the empty leg flights they call Deals". JetDeals appear between one and two days before departure and are ‘empty legs.' When someone charters a private jet, that jet needs to go back to where it came from after it delivers the person to their destination, and that's how you get a JetDeal!

JetSmarter has been publicly endorsed by Kim Kardashian and rapper Rick Ross, who worked the company into his lyrics. The JetSmarter terminal is located outside of OAK International Airport at KOAK (Kaiser Air), hangar 4. Be sure to allocate extra time to find Kaiser Air if it's your first time because it can be confusing if you're taking an Uber.

I had never flown on a private jet before and was curious about what the experience would be like. Their customer service response was, "If you would like to cancel your booking there will be a cancellation fee of $1,000. Many have compared JetSmarter's model to Uber's ride-hailing services.

While flying private is an exciting experience, it's important to remember that choosing the right company involves understanding how the different operators work, what their business models look like, the differences between their membership plans, and what benefits they offer clients.

While that in itself would allow more people to experience flying in a private jet, Petrossov wants to further encourage the concept of jet-sharing, which, much like ridesharing, would further allow friends (or even strangers, for that matter) to band together, split the cost of the flight, and then fly in style to the destination of their choice.
