Why clients pick it, in its words

• Available 24/7: you speak to a person who knows your trip.
• Clear quotes: fuel, crew, landing fees and taxes are included, and likely extras are flagged before you book.
• Vetted operators: each aircraft is checked for AOC, insurance and safety audit.
• Independent: it acts for you, not for an operator, so it recommends the aircraft that suits the trip.

Ways to fly

The main service is on demand charter, with the whole aircraft on your schedule. Aircraft range from turboprops to long range jets. The site gives sample trips from a same day hop to Geneva to a long weekend in Mykonos. It has pages for aircraft, destinations, events, airports, guides and owners.

On board

You choose the departure time, the catering and who comes with you. You arrive at the private terminal shortly before take-off. Extras include catering to order, pets in the cabin, a chauffeur to the aircraft and Wi-Fi on most jets.

Where it flies

The destinations pages cover Riviera weekends, ski chalets and the Gulf, with flight times and airports for each. There is also an FAQ that answers which London airports you can fly from.

Quote form

The form lets you choose one way, return or multi leg. It lists nearby airports by distance, and has fields for flexible dates, passengers, aircraft and pets. The company says it replies personally, with no obligation.
