JetASAP: The Must-Have Charter App for Travelers Who Fly Private

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better...It got better.

BY TAYLOR JOHNSON

It seems that these days, there’s a mobile app for just about anything, and private jet charter is no exception. Between the myriad apps and services available, fi nding the best option that’s right for you is easier said than done. However, every once in a while, something comes along that’s a true gamechanger—and JetASAP is just that. Pre-COVID, chartering an aircraft was a pretty consistent affair, with charter supply being plentiful enough that good pricing could be found on a regular basis. Post-COVID, demand went through the roof, and fi nding a plane— much less at a good price—became a daily challenge no matter where you fl y. Between fi nding a fl ight or even an operator to contact directly and trying to understand if a given quoted price is a good value considering the route or time of year, chartering has become a complicated and confusing affair. That’s where JetASAP comes in. The company began as a free service that allowed fl iers to request live, humangenerated quotes from charter operators for submitted trip requests and then connect with them directly to ask questions or book. However, with skyrocketing demand and limited supply, JetASAP has responded by rapidly rolling out a whole host of new features to help fl yers navigate the often murky waters of the charter market. JetASAP has focused on the exact pain points so often encountered by beleaguered fl yers in order to provide a truly useful set of tools that makes the service a must-have. Specifi cally, the company has focused on four new features to help app subscribers take control of their travel.

JetRATE

In addition to allowing subscribers to post the aforementioned trip requests and receive live bookable quotes, the company has also spent the last few months perfecting JetRATE, its state-of-the-art pricing guidance model. Using both current and historical data to determine pricing trends for all categories of aircraft, a JetRATE value is provided automatically each time a trip request is entered based on route and aircraft size. Such guidance helps both new and seasoned travelers understand current pricing trends and book with confi dence, knowing that they’re paying current market rates. After all, today’s sticker shock may be tomorrow’s good deal, and understanding the difference is the key to not overpaying. The best part is that, just like with all of JetASAP’s services, JetRATE is always available to guide you, regardless of where you may end up sourcing or booking your trip.

JetSEARCH

Beyond JetRATE, the company also rolled out JetSEARCH, its comprehensive charter operator search feature that allows subscribers to quickly fi nd operators by name, location, aircraft size, safety rating or any combination thereof. JetSEARCH makes it a snap to fi nd operators with a specifi c safety rating and aircraft size anywhere in the U.S. in just a couple of clicks. JetASAP has also made it easy for subscribers to fi nd general charter operator availability, as well as timely one-way fl ights and value-priced empty legs. Previously, such information was the sole purview of industry insiders, but the company has democratized this information to make sourcing easier than ever before. Each listing includes buttons to quickly email or call operators to confi rm availability and pricing directly.

TripMATCH

As the newest addition to JetASAP’s services, TripMATCH makes things even easier for subscribers. The feature automatically matches subscriber trip requests and travel preferences with available operators. Subscribers are then alerted of any matches and provided with operator contact information to easily take the next step.

TripSUPPORT

Finally, yet perhaps most exciting, subscribers can now obtain discounted optional aircraft mechanical coverage and support via JetASAP’s exclusive partnership with Charter Flight Support. Much like travel interruption insurance found in the commercial airline world, Charter Flight Support covers you if your charter fl ight gets canceled due to a plane breaking, or what the charter industry refers to as an aircraft mechanical. In such a case, the company covers 100% of the price difference between the cost of your originally booked trip and the cost of any replacement fl ight.

As an example, if you book a trip for $15,000, and it gets canceled up to 10 days before you depart, Charter Flight Support’s team will immediately source a new fl ight for you directly, and if that replacement fl ight costs $30,000, Charter Flight Support will cover the extra $15,000. The best part is that the coverage cost is just a small percentage of your charter cost, and, in this case, only $450. JetASAP makes things even better by offering subscribers an additional 20% off standard rates, providing you peace of mind that you’re covered—regardless of where you book your trip. JetASAP offers a free seven-day trial so that you can experience all that the company has to offer before signing up. But sign up you will, because becoming a subscriber is one of the easiest decisions you’ll ever make if you fl y privately.

Regardless of whether you charter a few times a year or regularly, JetASAP is the one app you need before you book your next charter fl ight.

ISLAND LIVING

These three towns combine proximity to America’s busiest metropolitan centers with access to the outdoors, clubs, great schools and thriving social scenes.

Fisher Island One of America’s most exclusive zip codes (accessible class tennis and golf, a private beach club, an elementary school and its own helicopter pad. Key Biscayne You don’t have to live in the Florida Keys to experience the “keys” lifestyle. This beachy, laidback community connects to Miami by bridge, preserved open space and parks on either side. Palm Beach Islands These three islands—Peanut, Singer and Palm Beach—comprise more than 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean coast, luxury resorts and extravagant waterfront mansions. Palm Beach is now also one of the most popular destinations in Florida for people relocating from the Northeast.

MILLIONAIRE NEIGHBORS

Want to bump into millionaires (or billionaires), tech titans and power brokers in their jeans and T-shirts? Try these towns on for size.

Naples Naples is home to a higher percentage of millionaires and a higher average income per capita than almost any other city in the U.S.—and it has the waterfront real estate values to back that up. Windermere Oprah, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer have all called this swanky suburb home—it’s no wonder it has the highest per-capita income in Central Florida. It also includes its fair share of billionaires. You probably won’t know who they are, and that’s the way they like it. Star Island The name pretty much says it all if you want to live in one of Miami’s most exclusive private island neighborhoods between South Beach and downtown. Sean Combs, Emilio and Gloria Estefan, Don Johnson, Rosie O’Donnell and Shaquille O’Neal all own or have owned homes here.

WOW-WORTHY REAL ESTATE

Sometimes big things come in even bigger, more eyepopping packages.

Palm Beach The mansions on Billionaires Row along South Ocean Boulevard will make even a sultan swoon. Grandeur, opulence and over-thetop don’t even come close to the words we’d use to describe them—and they’re even better viewed from the water. Gables Estates This canal-front neighborhood just south of Miami’s famed Coconut Grove neighborhood is one of the most prestigious addresses in the U.S. with the architecture to match, from Spanish Mediterranean-style homes to sleek modern designs.
