About Private Jet vs First Class
A charter broker that compares private flights with first class honestly, and arranges the private option when it makes sense.
What we are
Private Jet vs First Class arranges private flights. We are a broker, not an airline and not an aircraft owner: the aircraft are flown by certificated operators, FAA Part 135 carriers in the US or their equivalents abroad. Our job is to find the right aircraft, price it completely and look after the trip.
Why compare at all
Most people considering a private flight already have an airline option in mind. The comparison they need isn’t a brochure; it is the whole journey, door to door, against the real fare for their date. We built this site around that comparison, including the cases where the ticket comes out ahead.
How a request is handled
When your request arrives, we look for suitable aircraft near your departure airport, check each operator’s certificate and any ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO audit it holds, and price each option all-in: flight time, the 7.5% federal excise tax on domestic flights, segment fees, and the airport and crew costs we can know ahead. If you share the fare you are comparing, we set the two side by side.
What you can expect
- The operator named before you book, and a written charter agreement.
- Aircraft from turboprops to ultra long range jets, for one-way, round-trip and multi-city trips, in the US and worldwide.
- A single advisor from first question to landing.
- No membership, no deposit and no obligation to ask for a quote.
- Pets aboard many aircraft, subject to the operator’s approval.
What we won’t do
We won’t claim private is always better, invent prices, or push a booking that doesn’t make sense. Your details are used to answer your request and arrange your flight, as the privacy policy explains.
