In the past, private jet travel was the exclusive domain of travelers who had the means and desire to invest tens of thousands to millions of dollars in jet ownership, charter flights or private jet card programs. Jumpjet is a new private jet program that brings luxury "to the masses" with its unique membership model and modest advance reservation requirements. Here's how it works: you sign up as a Silver, Gold or Platinum member, with fees corresponding to increasing maximum numbers of flights per month you want to take and guest allowances you need. Silver and Gold members must book flights at least 14 days in advance and Platinum members must book flights at least five days in advance. Reservations are first-come, first-served with a maximum of one reservation per 24-hour period and a maximum of two reservations in the system at any given time.

Jumpjet private jet members may fly from any of Jumpjet's originating cities to nearly any jet-capable private aviation airport in the continental United States. Currently, Jumpjet's 12 originating cities include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles/Orange County, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C. Coast to coast flights are available exclusively to Platinum level members and require an additional monthly fee.

Monthly subscriptions start at $1,500 for Silver members, $2,800 for Gold members and $4,000 for Platinum members. A one-time administrative fee of $500 is due at sign-up. Silver members are entitled to up to 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.

Jumpjet's launch comes at a time when private aviation's advantages over commercial airline transportation are unprecedented in quality and scope. Jumpjet utilizes the private jet aircraft services of Private Flight Group, a premier charter company certified to meet or exceed Aviation Research Group U.S. requirements, the world's highest safety standards. So skip the security lines and baggage claim- get on board a Jumpjet.
