Questions
Before your first flight.
Clear answers to common questions about chartering a private jet.
Obtain written confirmation and check any outstanding conditions. A request or quote is not itself a confirmed booking.
Dates, airports, passenger count, luggage, routing and aircraft availability. Confirm what is included before you accept.
Follow the change and disruption terms in your agreement. The operating carrier decides on delays or diversions for safety.
Follow the departure instructions for your flight. Most domestic departures need about fifteen minutes at the named terminal.
Yes. JetNine is an indirect air carrier under Part 295 of the US DOT regulations. We arrange charter on behalf of clients with FAA Part 135 certified operators — we don't operate aircraft ourselves. The Part 295 disclosure is in every charter agreement, in plain English: it identifies the operator of record (the certificated operator, not us) and where liability sits.
Yes. Repositioning legs surface on a live board at 30–60% off the equivalent charter price. They're date- and route-locked — you take the flight as scheduled. If your dates and lanes are flexible, set a watchlist and we'll text when one matches.
