Frequent flyers often wonder whether to pre-pay for hours or book trip by trip.
On-demand charter
Pay for each trip. Maximum flexibility and no upfront commitment.
Jet cards and memberships
Pre-paid hours can offer priority access and fixed rates, but terms vary, so read the fine print.
Who benefits
Regular flyers with predictable routes benefit most; occasional flyers are better with on-demand.
Questions to ask
Check expiry, blackout dates, aircraft category guarantees and refund terms.
Do the maths before you commit
Estimate your annual flying hours, preferred aircraft class and routes. Compare the pre-paid hourly rate with on-demand quotes for similar trips. If the savings are small, flexibility may be worth more.
Key takeaway: Start with on-demand charter, then consider pre-paid hours once your pattern is clear.
