Jumpjet, A New Private Jet Membership Service

Filed under: Wings

Ever since the start of Luxist.com a few years ago I have been following the rise of private jet flight for the masses. We've seen the rise of fractional services and small plane services increase dramatically and the newspapers have been full of stories of a future that involves flights that are more taxi cabs of the skies than cattle car bus rides.

A new service, Jumpjet, is about to start and it promises private jet travel for a low price. Jumpjet will offer flights on small planes from Citation, Lear, Gulfstream, Hawker, Boeing and others. The flights leave from private avaiation airports in the U.S. starting with 12 cities including New York, Boston, Miami, San Francisco and Seattle. Jumpjet will use a membership system with three levels, silver, gold and platinum that to allowed numbers of flights and guest allowances. Silver and gold members have to book two weeks in advance and platinum members have to book five days or more in advance. Monthly subscriptions start at $1,500 for silver members, $2,800 for gold members, and $4,000 for platinum members. Silver members can book two round-trip flights per month, gold members get up to three round trips per month and platinum members can take up to four round trips per month. Guests and pets fly free. The service officially starts on May 29 but those who join before May 1, 2007 will receive a bonus month of private jet travel for free. It sounds like a great idea for frequent travelers who want to avoid the often painful experience of commercial flight.
