Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Flexjet jet card cost?
A 25-hour Flexjet jet card starts at $198,425 for the Embraer Phenom 300 ($7,937/hr). The Bombardier Challenger 300 card runs approximately $249,000 for 25 hours ($9,960/hr). These are base rates — add a variable fuel surcharge (~$400/hr) and 7.5% Federal Excise Tax for the all-in cost.
What is included in the Flexjet hourly rate?
The hourly rate covers the flight itself, crew, landing fees, basic catering, and repositioning within the service area. It does not include fuel surcharges (variable, adjusted quarterly), Federal Excise Tax (7.5%), or premium catering upgrades.
Are Flexjet jet card hours refundable?
No. Unused hours are forfeited when the card expires. First-time cards expire after 12 months; subsequent cards after 24 months.
What are Flexjet peak day restrictions?
Flexjet designates 45 high-demand dates per year. First-time cardholders get 10 full blackout dates and 35 flex days where departure may shift ±3 hours. Renewal cardholders face all 45 days as full blackouts with no availability.
How far in advance do I need to book a Flexjet flight?
Flexjet requires 120 hours (5 days) advance booking for both peak and non-peak flights. Cancellation requires 24 hours notice on non-peak days.
What aircraft can I fly with a Flexjet jet card?
Jet cards are available on the Embraer Phenom 300 (light jet, 8 passengers) and Bombardier Challenger 300 (super-midsize, 9 passengers). Interchange to other fleet types — including the Praetor 500/600, Gulfstream G450/G650/G700 — is available but primarily a benefit of fractional ownership programs.
How does Flexjet compare to NetJets?
Both operate owned fleets with ARG/US Platinum safety ratings. Flexjet jet cards start at $198,425 for 25 hours on a Phenom 300. NetJets cards typically start higher (~$300,000 for 25 hours). Flexjet requires 120 hours callout vs. NetJets 10-24 hours. Flexjet has more restrictive peak day policies (45 days, blackouts on renewals) while NetJets charges a surcharge instead of blacking out.
Is the Flexjet jet card worth it?
The Flexjet jet card suits buyers who want guaranteed access to a specific owned fleet without the capital commitment of fractional ownership. The 5-day callout time and peak day blackouts (especially on renewals) are significant limitations compared to competitors. Best for planned travel on a predictable schedule, not last-minute trips.
