How To Save $184,000 When You Fly By Private Jet

From complimentary carbon offsets to free nights in luxury hotels and discounts on your caviar purchases, Sentient Jet’s 10^th annual Exclusive Benefits Guide offers the jet card provider’s clients around $184,000 in perks, freebies, discounts and upgrades. Since its entry-level program – 25 hours on a light jet – starts at $174,375, you could possibly tell yourself you are flying for free.

Of course, that’s not quite the case. Many of the offers are discounts, although they range from 20% to $20,000, and there is plenty of free stuff as well.

“Exceeding expectations has always been our priority, but so, too, has been rewarding the loyalty that jet card owners have for our services. Our new Exclusive Benefits Guide for 2023 reveals the thoughtfulness and dedication we put into both, with more than 40 partners, new and long-term alike, whose offerings and benefits add real value to the industry-leading private aviation experience we provide,” said Andrew Collins, President and CEO of Sentient Jet.

The rewards are wide-ranging.

At no additional cost, Sentient offsets 300% of carbon emissions for all of your flight hours via 4Air. The extra offsets account for non-CO2 emissions.

And when a private jet can’t reach that last mile, members get 60% off airport transfers aboard Flexjet Helicopters in New York, South Florida and London.

While you don’t have to worry about lost luggage when you fly privately, sometimes it’s just easier to ship your baggage, and there are discounts via Luggage Free, including 50% off your first roundtrip shipment.

When you do have to fly commercially, you can avoid the crowded terminals of Los Angeles International Airport with private terminal PS, which even has its own customs and immigration.

When you need to bed down, there are over a dozen hotel, resort and residence club partners, including Forbes 5-star Peninsula Hotels in New York and Chicago.

There are numerous partners in resort locations, from Anguilla and Aspen to Vail, with Bermuda, Kauai, Los Cabos, Napa, Newport, Rhode Island, San Diego, Savannah, Saratoga Springs, and Sea Island, Georgia in between.

Its partnership with Exclusive Resorts adds 300 luxury residences, villas and experiences in 75 more destinations, from St. Barts to Nantucket and Tuscany.

If you like the links, The Eden Club offers access to 100 top golf courses and dozens of member-guest events globally.

There are “ultra-luxury wellness and trekking” retreats, breakfast with Bobby Flay, private Kentucky distillery and California winery tours, visits to stud farms, fly fishing in Colorado and personal ski instructions.

There’s also plenty of retail therapy with discounts on luggage, cashmere blankets, ski and golf apparel, eyewear, home decor, premium headphones, timepieces, skincare and even floral arrangements.

And, oh, by the way, when you are ready to go, Sentient offers fixed hourly rates with guaranteed availability on as little as 48 hours notice. Its instant text booking enables you to reserve flights in seconds.
