Year-End Private Jet Deals – Only Fools Rush In

Around this time of year, private jet providers, often pressed to meet sales quotas, begin aggressively marketing year-end promotions that tout significant savings and other incentives. While I don’t think you should hold off on making a deal, my advice is to take your time and do your homework so that you make the best deal:

  • Take the time to thoroughly understand your needs and budget.
  • Identify the best type of program(s) for you (i.e. jet card, fractional, charter, etc.)
  • Shop the various providers for the most competitive offers.
  • Understand the cost and, of course, read (and negotiate) the fine print.

After all, the cost of making the wrong deal will far outweigh any year-end benefits and incentives.
