Towards the end of the year, you might find yourself flooded with offers from various fractional and jet-card companies that tout significant savings and other incentives. My advice? Do not rush into making such an important decision. You don't have to necessarily hold off on making a deal, but you must do your homework. This includes taking the time to thoroughly understand your needs and budget, identifying the best program for you, shopping around, understanding the cost and, of course, reading the fine print. The cost of making the wrong deal will far outweigh any year-end benefits and incentives.
For a more detailed look at year-end deals, download a PDF of my article, "“Year-End Private Jet Deals, Only Fools Rush In" here.
