John Rusinak is managing member of Wings Jets, a private jet charter service provider. Here he talks about the difference between Select and Elite aircraft, and the current pricing for both.
When we are talking about elite aircraft, elite means all aircraft 10 years or newer. Select is all our jets, hand-selected for each client and each trip. So clients can choose a vintage aircraft if they want a jet that is five years old or newer or 10 years old or newer, or they can go with a hand-selected aircraft and go with the best-positioned one.
We have our published rates for flying on those aircraft or we also offer the best price. If one is well-positioned, then we offer the best price guarantee.
And once again, both of those are fixed quotes. So there’ll be surprises after the flight, regardless if we had to fly around a weather system for safety, even thought the flight took longer, so that the trip was smoother and safer. We would not bill for that extra flying.
Here are some of the pricing we offer (as of January, 2010):
Select Light Jets
