Why jet by the seat

Three ways one seat opens the whole sky.

You're not buying the aircraft — you're buying the seat. That changes the math, the route, and the door it opens.

01 · The economics

Pay for the seat, not the tail.

By-the-seat means you stop quoting a whole Citation Latitude for two people. You split the operating cost across the cabin — typically 60–80% under full-charter on the same corridor.

Indicative saving up to 75%vs comparable full charter
02 · The discretion

FBO boardroom, not a terminal queue.

You arrive at a private FBO, brief the crew, and walk to the stairs. No commercial lines, no published manifest, no connection. Shared cabin — discreet by default.

Touchpoint ~8 minFBO arrival to wheels-up, typical
03 · The access

Empty legs the operator flies anyway.

When a Part 135 operator repositions an aircraft, those seats are deeply discounted. We surface them by corridor and tail type, with indicative pricing before you commit.

Typical window 24–96 hrsopen-to-depart, route dependent

All seat pricing is an estimate, not a guaranteed fare. Final quote, tail, and operator are confirmed before any booking. Flights operated by FAA Part 135 carriers holding operational control.

How it works

From request to boarding stairs.

Shared seats and empty-leg seats work the same way from your side — one seat, one FBO, one boarding call.

  1. i.

    Tell us the seat, not the aircraft.

    Origin, destination, date window, party size. We check shared departures and empty legs across FAA Part 135 operators first.

  2. ii.

    Get three options in one quote.

    Shared scheduled seat, empty-leg seat, and a full-charter fallback — each with indicative price, tail type and operator standard.

  3. iii.

    Hold the seat, confirm the tail.

    Place a refundable hold. We confirm the operator (preferring ARGUS / Wyvern-rated), exact aircraft, and FBO before any payment clears.

  4. iv.

    Walk to the stairs.

    Arrive at the private FBO, brief the crew, board. Ground transport and return seat can be arranged in the same quote.

Seat alerts

Empty legs move in hours. Be the first to know.

Pick a corridor. When a matching shared departure or empty-leg seat opens, you get an alert with indicative pricing and tail type — before it lists publicly.

  • Route-aware: alert only on your corridor (e.g. TEB⇄SFL).
  • Direct to hold: one tap from alert to seat hold.
  • No spam: unsubscribe anytime; we never sell your data.

Discretion, by the numbers

A quieter way to fly private.

We stopped chartering whole aircraft for our East Coast runs. The seat corridor does the same trip for a fraction — and the FBO is faster than first class.

The empty-leg alert came at 6am. By noon we were wheels-up to Aspen. That's the part that feels like a different category of travel.

Questions

By-the-seat, plainly answered.

No. By-the-seat access is opportunistic — it depends on shared departures filling a charter and on empty-leg repositioning flights. Seat inventory opens and closes within hours, which is why we recommend route alerts. When no seat is available, we provide a full-charter quote in the same response.
A full charter means you pay for the entire aircraft regardless of how many seats you use. By-the-seat means you pay only for the seat(s) you occupy on a shared departure or an empty leg — typically far below full-charter cost on the same corridor, with the same FBO and operator standard.
An empty leg is a repositioning flight the operator must fly anyway — fixed windows, limited route flexibility, but the steepest discounts. A shared scheduled departure is a charter with extra seats sold individually, so you get a published window and can book one seat while others fill the rest. We surface both, labelled.
Passenger manifests are not published. You board at a private FBO separate from commercial terminals, with minimal touchpoints — typically under ten minutes from arrival to wheels-up. Flights are operated by FAA-licensed Part 135 carriers that hold operational control, and we prefer ARGUS or Wyvern-rated operators.
Choose a corridor (for example TEB⇄SFL or LA⇄LAS) and add your email. When a matching shared departure or empty leg opens, you receive an alert with indicative seat pricing and tail type. Seats fill fast, so the alert links directly to a refundable seat hold. Unsubscribe anytime.
