Top 10 Reasons to Charter a Jet
Below are ten reasons why chartering a jet through Starbase Jet Charter makes the most financial sense:
1. Charter versus commercial airline travel:
The cost for two adults and four children flying first class can cost the same as your own private jet flight purchased through Starbase. Given all the convenience of flying privately, jet charter becomes a viable option for travelers that once thought they were restricted to commercial air travel.
2. Charter versus fractional or prepayment options:
Charter through Starbase can save you on average 20-30% per flight hour when compared to fractional or jet card options. In fact, we’ll guarantee at least 10% in savings per trip when compared to other fractional and jet card options.
3. Jet availability:
Flights booked through Starbase experience no blackout dates and no lack of availability due to jet maintenance, which may often be encountered with fractional programs or smaller charter companies. This becomes of utmost importance during the holiday season and high vacation travel times.
4. Jet selection:
Starbase has a premier network of more than 2,000 jets to select from and are not restricted to a certain type of jet or jet class as with most fractional programs or charter companies that only have access to a limited fleet.
5. On demand, 24/7 access to a Starbase Flight Representative:
Starbase can provide flight quotes in as little as one hour to 15 minutes and jets can be made "tarmac ready" within two hours. When you call to reserve a flight, you’ll always be speaking with someone familiar with your preferences and ready to provide excellent customer service.
6. Deluxe Supplemental Services:
Starbase Jet Charter provides greater flexibility with no commitments, the best market rates and can be utilized alongside other jet services such as fractional ownership and prepaid card programs.
7. Leisure travel made easy:
Especially convenient for the leisure traveler who desires private jet service on an occasional or regular basis.
8. Increased flexibility:
Without the hassle of jet ownership, maintenance fees, crew costs and storage expenses, there are no extra expenditures to bog the experience. Simply contact a charter representative, reserve a flight and off you go.
9. High safety and quality standards:
Starbase upholds the highest safety standards with a Platinum Rating through ARGUS, and only utilize other jets from companies that are Part 135 and have excellent ratings through ARGUS or Wyvern.
10. Freedom of flight:
It makes sound financial sense to keep your money in your own pocket and not in the hands of a private jet sales associate. Paying only for the flight time used creates an experience that the savvy traveler will most enjoy.
5 Questions to Ask Before Purchasing Your Next Fractional Share or Jet Card
Do I absolutely need guaranteed access to a jet on 6 to 10 hours notice year round?
Today’s private jet options are drastically different than 5 or 10 years ago. Now, access to new, high quality aircraft are available world wide and more aircraft owners are willing to make their aircraft available for charter to help offset expenses in the current economy. All of the charter operators are connected through the internet to provide real-time availability of their aircraft and offer special deals on one-way flights. The jet charter market today acts much more like a virtual fleet so you can access any type of aircraft in the country. Bottom-line is if you usually know your schedule a day or two in advance and travel to common destinations, then Starbase can fly you in new, high quality aircraft at a substantial savings compared to any fractional or jet card program.
What is my personal or business financial situation going to be like over the next 2-5 years?
No one can say for sure what the economy will do over the next two to five years. Hold on to your capital and use Starbase on an on-demand basis. Pay as you go provides you ultimate freedom and allows you to increase or decrease your jet travel flights as your personal or business situation changes.
What could I do with the capital or deposit fee required to buy a fractional share or jet card?
Tying up hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in a down economy is probably not what your looking for right now, especially when the asset you’re buying is a depreciating asset and not providing you a return. Why not hang on to your money and only pay for your private jet travel when you actually need a flight.
Do I like personalized attention on every flight and knowing my jet company is working for my best interests?
Bigger is not always better for you. Hundreds of aircraft in the fleet is great, but only when it is proportionate to the amount of customers flying on those aircraft. Flying on private jets is about luxury, convenience and efficiency. You should not feel like a number when you call up to book a flight. Starbase provides personalized service with a dedicated Sales Professional to provide you the best options on each trip. Each Sales Professional is also backed up by our 24/7/365 flight coordination team to make sure every detail of your flight is handled. When you call Starbase, we’ll know who you are and we will not need to ask for your contract or company ID number
How would the ability to choose a specific jet for each flight affect my comfort on each trip?
Some flights might be 1 hour flights with only you on board. Other flights you may need to impress some important clients and fly them on Gulfstream or Challenger aircraft. While some programs allow you flexibility on the aircraft size, Starbase can provide your specific jet preference for each trip you fly.
