FAQs
Can Jet Members guarantee availability even in seasonal peak times?
​
We endeavor to always provide members with an option on every occasion but limitations can apply (e.g. slots/parking) and if the request is within the minimum booking notice period.
Please also consider if there is sufficient time to receive any applicable permits for take-off / landing (less than 24 hours, for example, can have restrictions), as well as any applicable laws which may be enforced, such as cabotage.

The easiest advice is to book as far in advance as possible.

Yes, crew are only able to operate a maximum of hours each day and be on duty for a certain number of days per week before mandatory rest periods are required. Duty days can be extended or reduced depending on the time the crew start the day, the time on the ground and number of sectors performed. For ultra-long missions an additional crew member may be required and should have an appropriate rest area on the aircraft.

For small groups 1-4 passengers 20 minutes, for larger groups it is worth planning 40 minutes. If the charter is greater than 19 passengers the airline will advise accordingly.
