Which way to fly fits you?
Three questions. A rough annual picture of charter, jet card, fractional and per-seat flying, with the reasoning behind each.
A New York to Palm Beach round trip is about 5 hours.

Rough guidance from approximate US market figures, not a quote. Card and fractional pricing varies by provider and contract.
Side by side
The four ways, compared.
What you commit, how you pay and what to watch for. The hourly rates behind the charter numbers are in the aircraft guide.
| Feature | Charter | Jet card | Fractional | Per seat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Per trip, for the whole aircraft | A prepaid block of hours at fixed hourly rates | A share of one aircraft, plus a monthly fee and an hourly fee | Per seat, on a flight someone else schedules |
| Upfront | Nothing to request a quote | The block of hours, paid in advance | The share purchase and a multi-year contract | One ticket at a time |
| Typical yearly use | Occasional, up to about 50 hours | Roughly 25 to 100 hours | 50 hours (1/16 share) and up | A handful of trips |
| Schedule and route | Yours, door to door | Yours, within peak-day rules | Yours, with notice periods | Set by the seller |
| Watch for | Repositioning, daily minimums, crew overnights | Peak-day surcharges, daily minimums | Fees continue in months you do not fly | Schedule changes or cancellation by the seller |
