You’ve heard of all-you-can-eat buffets. You’ve seen all-you-can-stream TV. Maybe you’ve even dabbled in all-you-can-sweat boutique fitness. But have you ever heard of all-you-can-fly private jets? No, this isn’t a billionaire fever dream — it’s Vaunt, a private jet membership that lets you live the high life (literally) for just $1,995 a year.

What Does Vaunt Offer?

Vaunt is a private jet membership service available to anyone willing to pay a flat yearly fee of $1,995. A Vaunt membership gives you access to unlimited, one-way private jet flights within the United States. And no, there’s no hidden fee for luggage, booking, or anything else. In fact, you can even take friends, family, and pets with you at no extra cost. 

Note that there are two types of memberships on offer: the Core Membership and the Cabin Plus Membership. At $7,495, the cabin Plus Membership is significantly more expensive than the Core Membership, but offers some advantages, including a larger pool of flights to bid on and the opportunity to jump the waitlist queue twice per year.

How Does Vaunt Work?

Vaunt might sound too good to be true, but there’s a very solid and easy-to-understand concept behind the company that should convince you. 

Vaunt takes advantage of the fact that private jets fly empty 30 percent of the time. Sometimes, it’s because passengers only need one-way trips, forcing the aircraft to fly back to its base airport empty. Sometimes, if a traveler charters a flight from an airport that’s nowhere close to where the aircraft is based, the plane has to travel there without any passengers. These empty flights are called repositioning flights. What Vaunt does is advertize these repositioning flights to its members, allowing planes to never fly without passengers. It’s a win-win for the private jet companies and for air travelers who can’t usually afford, or don’t want to spend a lot of money, on private flights.

Booking A Private-Jet Flight with Vaunt

All you need to do to purchase a membership and then browse the available private-jet flights is to download the Vaunt app. Once you’ve done that, you can start adding your name to the waitlists for the flights you want to take. You must add your name to a flight at least 24 hours prior to its departure – no last minute shenanigans. If you’re selected for a flight, a Vaunt concierge will reach out to organize all the details of your trip, and you’ll provide a $500 security deposit for incidentals, just like when you’re at a hotel.

Once on board one of the eight aircrafts in Vaunt’s fleet, you get served snacks and beverages, enjoy free WiFi, and you can take a nap in one of their large, cushy seats. You can even snore your way through the flight – there’s nobody else in the aircraft to silently judge you.
