For many travelers, flying on a private jet is the pinnacle of convenience, comfort, and time efficiency. But if you’ve never booked a private jet before, the process might feel unfamiliar or even intimidating. The good news? Booking a charter with Odyssey Airways is seamless, straightforward, and tailored entirely to you.
Whether you're planning a quick weekend escape or a cross-country business trip, here’s a full breakdown of the private jet booking process, what to expect, and how to get the best out of your experience—with insights on private jet charter rates and key considerations.
Step 1: Submit Your Charter Request
Everything begins with a simple request.
At Odyssey Airways, you can start the booking process by submitting a charter request through our website, emailing our team, or calling directly. To provide the most accurate quote, we ask for a few key details:
• Departure and arrival cities
• Preferred dates and times
• Number of passengers
• Any special requests (pets, luggage, catering, etc.)
This helps us identify the right aircraft for your luxury travel destination and provide an optimized flight plan that works with your schedule and preferences.
Step 2: Receive and Review Your Quote
Once we receive your request, our team reviews your information and curates the best available aircraft options. You’ll receive a detailed quote that includes:
• Aircraft type and specs (e.g., seating, speed, range)
• Flight time and routing
• Private Jet Charter Rates, including any taxes or applicable fees
At Odyssey, we prioritize transparency. That means no hidden costs or surprise fees—just clear, competitive pricing for the experience you expect.
Understanding Private Jet Charter Rates:
Private charter pricing is based on a few key factors:
• Aircraft size and category (light jet, midsize, turboprop, etc.)
• Distance and duration of the flight
• Crew fees, fuel surcharges, and landing or facility fees
• Aircraft positioning (whether the aircraft needs to reposition to your departure city)
We also offer special pricing for empty leg flights—a cost-effective option for flexible flyers who want to travel one-way and don’t mind jumping on an aircraft that's already scheduled to reposition.
Step 3: Ask Questions and Customize Your Experience
This is where the Odyssey difference shines.
Unlike commercial bookings, your private jet experience is customizable at nearly every level. Our charter specialists will walk you through your options and answer any questions you may have:
• Want a light meal or full onboard catering? Done.
• Traveling with a pet? We’ll make the cabin cozy for them, too.
• Need airport transfers or hotel arrangements? We’ve got you covered.
You’re not just a passenger—you’re our client. And we’re here to deliver a stress-free, premium experience from wheels up to touchdown.
Step 4: Confirm Your Booking
Once you’re happy with the itinerary and quote, it’s time to lock it in.
To confirm your flight, we’ll send over a digital charter agreement for your review and signature. Most flights require payment in full at the time of booking to secure your aircraft and crew.
Accepted forms of payment typically include:
• Credit card
• Wire transfer
• ACH payment
Upon confirmation, you’ll receive your flight itinerary, FBO (private terminal) information, and all final logistics.
Step 5: Pre-Flight Coordination
In the days leading up to your flight, your Odyssey coordinator will stay in close contact to ensure all details are finalized. This includes:
• Passenger manifest
• Arrival time recommendations
• Weather and routing updates
• Any last-minute adjustments to schedule or service
We also confirm all airport logistics, including FBO selection. FBOs are private terminals used for charter flights, offering amenities like private lounges, VIP services, and expedited boarding with no security lines.
Step 6: Fly Stress-Free
When flight day arrives, your experience should feel effortless—and that’s by design.
You’ll arrive at your designated FBO just 15–30 minutes before departure. No TSA lines, no crowded terminals. Just valet-style parking, a warm welcome, and direct access to your waiting aircraft.
Our crew will be prepared with your preferences, and your flight will take off on your schedule. Whether you're flying for business, leisure, or a little of both, everything has been crafted to maximize your comfort and save you time.
Post-Flight Support
Once you’ve arrived at your destination, our service doesn’t stop.
Need ground transportation or restaurant recommendations? Your Odyssey coordinator is on hand to help. And if your return flight is part of a round trip, we’ll reconfirm those details, too.
Repeat clients also benefit from streamlined rebooking—we’ll already have your preferences on file and can expedite your next flight request.
Common Booking Questions
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 3–5 days in advance when possible, but Odyssey also specializes in last-minute flights, often booking same-day departures.
Can I change my travel time or destination after booking?
Yes, we offer flexible re-routing and scheduling options whenever possible, though changes may be subject to aircraft availability or additional costs.
Are there baggage limits?
Each aircraft has different capacity. Our team will help you select the right aircraft based on your baggage needs, whether you’re bringing golf clubs, strollers, or skis.
How do I know which aircraft is right for me?
We’ll match you with the right plane based on your group size, flight distance, luggage, and budget. From light jets to the Pilatus PC-12, our fleet is curated for flexibility.
