Private jet travel in the US becomes more accessible with new options

Flying on private jets in the U.S. has become more accessible. Options now include fractional ownership, private charters, and jet card memberships, allowing more people to enjoy private air travel without needing to own a jet. Fractional ownership lets multiple individuals share the costs and usage of a private jet. Owners pay for their share of operating expenses and receive a set number of flying hours each year. Private charters offer hourly rentals of various aircraft, with costs ranging from $3,000 to over $13,000 per hour, depending on the jet size. Public charter services, like JSX, provide a unique option by offering per-seat tickets on private jets. These flights feature amenities similar to private travel but at prices comparable to business class on commercial airlines, making private flying more affordable.
