I don't think I'm the right demographic for this kind of offer I just got from "Jets.Com."

Dear Friends, Fliers & Prospective Fliers:

When making a decision on who to turn to for your private flight needs it is very easy to be fooled by the glitz & glamour of some of our competitors.

A simple side-by-side comparison of Jets .Com vs Wheels-Up will show you exactly why so many fliers are choosing Jets .Com as their Citation Excel provider.

Wheels-Up.JPG

* Wheels-Up Membership fee of $29,500 first year and $14,500 per year after first year (Corporate Account)

** Wheels-Up Membership fee of $17,500 first year and $8,500 per year after first year (Personal Account)

*** Wheels-Up has no expiration date on hours purchased but you will pay a yearly membership fee if hours go past year 1

As you can see, not only are we over 20% less per hour for the same exact aircraft but we also do not charge any ridiculous and unnecessary fees for membership.

Membership fees that will get you invited to a party, or let you shake hands with a celebrity or pro athlete or will pay for a commercial on CNBC …. meanwhile the smart money has realized that in the first year alone you would get 12 extra hours of flying with Jets .Com for what you would pay Wheels-Up with their high hourly rate and that membership fee.

Please feel free to contact me via email or phone with any questions that you may have or to secure your JetCard hours.
