As jet charterers ourselves, we were fed-up with the brokers' services, namely:

• The transaction not being transparent.
• Brokers acting like middlemen or principals.
• Brokers buying wholesale and selling retail to us.
• The high charter prices we were being charged.
• Not receiving the full price savings possible.
• Not seeing the much cheaper empty-legs.
• Not seeing the actual offers made by jet operators.
• Not having the choice of jets best-suited to our needs.
• Not contracting directly with the jet operator.
• Not having a charter agreement to protect our interests.
• Not knowing the brokers' commission or mark-up.

Jet-Guest is very different from other brokers. Here's how:

• Jet-Guest is completely transparent in our dealings on your behalf.
• Jet-Guest is a true charter broker that works exclusively for you, the charterer, not the jet operator.
• Jet-Guest brings together you and the jet operator. It does not insert itself between the two principals.
• You are presented with all jet quotes received for your trip.
• Jet-Guest discusses the options with you and helps you make your decision.
• Jet-Guest negotiates on your behalf, and all savings and benefits are passed on to you.
• Jet-Guest achieves savings, often 50% under jet-card or retail prices.
• Jet-Guest tries to obtain all-inclusive charter prices for you.
• Jet-Guest's charter agreement (approx. 10 pages) includes many important terms that address your interests – unlike most brokers' contracts (2-3 pages), which do not.
• Jet-Guest works for a modest and disclosed commission of 8%.

Jet-Guest earns a commission of 8%(minimum $800 and maximum $8000), if you actually charter a jet. This commission is normally included in the charter price and billed to the jet operator.

• Jet-Guest requires no long-term commitment.
• Jet-Guest requires no fee or commission up-front.
• Jet-Guest charges no fee or commission, if you decide not to charter.
• Jet-Guest is paid only when the jet is paid.
• By using Jet-Guest’s service and website, you agree not to "go direct" to any jet operator and they agree not to "go direct" to you for any trip circulated on our website. For more details, please review Jet-Guest's terms of service.

Jet-Guest’s pays the utmost attention to safety.

• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires all operators and jets to be certified under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 135 setting standards for aircraft maintenance and operation, pilot duty days and training for charter operations.
• Jet-Guest provides a pro-forma charter agreement stipulating many safety requirements not found elsewhere. See items: 2-Crews, 3-Safety of Operations, 4-Regulations, 5-Certifications/Insurance, 16-Confidentiality, 21-International Operations. The charterer is free to use or amend any terms of this template, including those relating to safety.
• Jet-Guest  can request independent safety audit reports from Aviation Research Group/US (ARG/US) and Wyvern. For more detailed information about the independent safety auditing companies, please visit their websites by clicking the above links. Jet-Guest itself does not audit the safety of jet operators.

A true broker brings two principals together, i.e. you and the jet operator.

• A true broker brings two principals together.
• A true broker does not insert itself between the two principals.
• A true broker represents the interests of you, the Charterer.
• A true broker shows you all jet quotes received.
• A true broker passes on all savings to you, the principal.
• A true broker works for a disclosed commission.

• A true broker doesn't buy “wholesale” and sell “retail” to you.
• A true broker doesn't hide the identity of the jet operator.
• A true broker cannot offer jet “upgrades.”

• Do you offer any charter upgrades? If so, how is that possible?
• Do you buy wholesale and sell retail to me?
• Do you and your company work exclusively for jet charterers?
• Do you or any affiliates work for jet operators, manage or maintain jets?
• Will you show me every jet offer you receive for my trips?
• Will you let me choose the best jet for my needs?
• Will you pass on all savings and benefits to me?
• Will the jet operator and I appear as principals in the charter?
• Do you have a charter agreement protecting my interests?
• What is your commission?
• Where is your commission shown in your standard agreement?

Jet-Guest’s system is designed to be quick and convenient.

• Review our simple, 4-Step Process.

Jet-Guest works only for those wishing to charter jets.

• Jet-Guest does not represent jet operators or owners.
• Jet-Guest is not affiliated with jet operators or owners.
• Jet-Guest does not buy, sell or maintain jets.
• Jet-Guest provides a pro-forma charter agreement with many clauses that address your interests with the option for you to add specific requirements.
• Other brokers use contracts that contain no clauses protecting your interests.
• Other charter brokers have affiliates and affiliations that operate, buy, sell and maintain jets.
• Other brokers' contracts hold you financially responsible for almost everything that happens with the flight.

Jet-Guest sends your Quote Request to approximately 1,700 U.S. and 2,300 international companies operating approximately 15,000 aircraft.

• You stipulate from where and at what time you wish to fly.
• Jet-Guest typically receives more than 20 jet quotes for each trip inquiry.
• Jet-Guest sends you a spreadsheet of all quotes we receive on your behalf.
• Jet-Guest will discuss with you the pros and cons of each quote.
• Other brokers do not let you know all the jets available for your trip.
• Other brokers show you only the jet that maximizes their profit.
• Jet-Guest lets you choose the jet best suited to your needs.

You decide what hour, what day and what airport you depart and what airport you land.

• However, if you do have some flexibility on departure time, day and airport, it helps us to negotiate lower prices.

Jet-Guest’s charter agreement establishes as principals you as the charterer and the jet operator as your counterpart.

• Other brokers hide the identity of the jet operator.
• Other brokers insert themselves in the middle of the transaction.
• Other brokers insist you sign their flight contract and they have a secret agreement with the jet operator at different terms and lower prices.
• Jet-Guest calls its charter agreement "pro-forma" because you, as a principal, are welcome to change it in any way you see fit.
• Jet-Guest acts as a true broker like a real estate broker.

Jet-Guest's pro forma charter agreement has many clauses addressing your interests, e.g.:

• Fly the jet only when it is safe to do so.
• Fly you in strict accordance with FAA rules and regulations.
• Pass an independent safety audit process before departing.
• Fly the most direct route possible.
• Have insurance and name you as additional insured.
• Include the maximum possible charges in the charter price.
• Be paid only after take-off not days before the jet operator has performed.
• You have the right to make changes to Jet-Guest’s pro-forma charter and/or have it reviewed by your counsel.
• Contracts from other charter brokers have hardly a sentence protecting your interests.
• The terms and conditions of contracts provided by most brokers and jets protect their interests only.

Jet-Guest has achieved savings of 50% over middlemen/brokers and retail or jet-card prices.

• We have saved approximately $10,000 per trip for our own personal charters.
• Visit our Prices page for a rough idea of savings. These are asking prices, which we negotiate.
• We also seek empty-leg flights that can be chartered at a fraction of the regular cost.

Jet operators and other brokers typically require full payment by wire transfer or credit card when the jet is booked.

• Jet-Guest's charter agreement provides you the charterer choices:
  
  
  • To use a credit card as a payment guarantee for specified amounts on specific dates.
  • To retain the charter money until two business days prior to the departure date.
  • To wire transfer the charter price into Jet-Guest's Trust Account until after take-off.
  • To send a certified check to Jet-Guest's Trust Account for payment after take-off.
  • To wire transfer directly to the jet operator.
  • To wire transfer to the escrow account of an escrow service, for payment after take-off.
  • To debit a credit card after take-off.
• Jet-Guest requires no long term commitment.
• Jet-Guest requires no money up-front for its service.

• Jet-Guest is paid its commission only after the jet takes off.

Jet-Guest cuts out the middleman.

• Jet-Guest makes chartering a jet easier and less expensive for charterers.
• Jet-Guest enables jet operators to interface directly with charterers.
• Jet-Guest's charter agreement is clear and fair to both parties.
• The jet operator is a principal in the transaction with the charterer.
• Every concession the operator makes helps entice a charterer to fly private.
• Concessions the operator makes don’t go into the pocket of a middleman.
• Through good service and prices, the operator can establish a brand directly with the charterer.

Jet-Guest is particularly sensitive to special needs charters, particularly for the elderly, the sick and for pets.

The principal reason we charter for our own personal use is:

• To avoid my partner’s mother battling her way through the commercial airline system.
• To transport some of our nine dogs to and from Aspen four times a year.
