01 / Your itinerary
Start with the journey.
Begin with your departure and destination cities, dates, local times and guest count. Add each flight if you are returning or visiting several places. Your arrival deadline can matter as much as your preferred departure time; tell us which parts of the schedule are fixed.
You do not need to know airport codes. Our private charter planner lets you search by city. A nearby airport may offer a better fit for your ground destination, aircraft or itinerary. If your journey includes South Florida, our Miami airport guide explains three options worth discussing.
02 / The right aircraft
Fit comes before size.
Share luggage quantities and unusually large items, as well as cabin preferences such as working space, a lavatory or connectivity. Tell our team about pets and accessibility requirements early so the proposed aircraft and arrangements can be checked individually.
- Turboprops
- A category to consider for suitable regional journeys. Compare cabin, baggage and flying time as well as price.
- Light & midsize jets
- Explore these for a smaller party when the itinerary and payload suit the particular aircraft.
- Super midsize jets
- Another cabin and range option to compare when a smaller aircraft does not meet your priorities.
- Large & ultra long range jets
- Relevant when cabin space or longer journeys call for them. A category name alone does not establish nonstop capability.
Compare models in the range explorer, then use your route and guests to explore estimates. Published range is a planning reference: payload, weather, routing and airport conditions affect the operating carrier’s assessment. An illustration or suggested model is not a reserved aircraft.
03 / Understanding the price
Compare the complete quote.
Our charter estimates are indicative whole-itinerary ranges in USD and include our service fee. They help frame a budget; they are not operator-confirmed offers. Aircraft positioning, dates, availability, requested services and operating details can change the final price. Review the estimate’s listed assumptions and any unconfirmed taxes or charges.
When comparing written quotes, check the same itinerary and inclusions rather than the headline amount alone:
- Exact airports, flight dates, local times and all requested legs.
- Operating carrier, aircraft type, cabin configuration and guest capacity.
- Baggage allowance and any confirmed cabin or ground services.
- Total price and currency, taxes, fees and possible extra charges.
- Payment deadlines and cancellation, change or substitution terms.
A return is not necessarily priced at twice a one-way estimate. The aircraft and crew schedule, time between flights and positioning can affect the complete itinerary.
04 / Knowing who operates
A broker arranges. A carrier flies.
Juliett Jets arranges charter as a broker. The authorized operating carrier operates the flight and makes the operational decisions. Understand which company is operating your aircraft and which agreements apply before confirming.
For U.S. charter, the FAA advises checking the operator’s legitimacy and asking to see its Air Carrier or Operating Certificate to verify charter authorization. Its consumer charter guidance explains what to ask. A pilot’s qualifications, a polished website or an attractive price are not substitutes for the carrier’s authorization.
05 / Choosing the arrangement
When an empty leg fits.
A regular charter is sourced around your requested itinerary. An empty leg is an existing one-way repositioning opportunity with a particular route and departure window. It may offer a lower price when your plans fit, but the schedule can change or the flight can be withdrawn.
Consider how flexible you can be, how a cancellation would affect your journey and whether you need a separately arranged return. A displayed listing still requires availability and price confirmation.
06 / From request to departure
Know what happens next.
Choose an option and continue to the enquiry form to review your travel details. Our team can then clarify preferences and seek a confirmed proposal. Sending an enquiry does not book a flight or collect payment.
Before committing, review the carrier, itinerary, total price, agreements and payment instructions. Once the arrangements are confirmed, check the departure facility, arrival instructions, identification requirements and contact for any changes. An FBO—fixed-base operator—is the airport facility often used for private aviation; use the exact address on your confirmed itinerary.
