See real prices on 4,000+ private flights and book the entire aircraft in the app. Every flight comes from a certified operator, with the total price shown up front. Empty legs are private jets repositioning one way with no passengers on board. The aircraft flies either way, so operators price the whole flight below a standard charter. More than half the flights on SkyAccess list 40% or more below a standard charter on the same jet. No empty leg on your dates? Request a private jet charter on any route, one way or round trip. You pay only after the operator confirms. Why SkyAccess • Live inventory: 4,000+ flights across the US, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean • Real prices: see the total up front, with no quote calls • The entire aircraft: every booking is the whole jet, never a seat • Route alerts: save a route and hear the moment a matching flight lists • Certified operators: FAA Part 135 in the US, with ARGUS and Wyvern ratings shown when held • Every size of private aircraft, from turboprops and light jets to heavy and ultra long range jets • Real people: chat with the operator and our team before and after you book • No membership, no jet card, no annual dues How it works • Search a route, or browse flights leaving today, this weekend or anywhere • Compare the aircraft, cabin photos, passenger capacity and total price • Request to book. The operator confirms the flight and final price before you're charged • Board at the private terminal the Bahamas, last-minute business trips out of Teterboro, Van Nuys and Dallas, groups sharing one aircraft price, and flights with their dog. Good to know • Who operates my flight? A certified operator flies every trip. In the US, that means an FAA Part 135 operator. • Can I pick the time? Empty leg times follow the original trip. A charter flies on your schedule. • What if the operator cancels? Our Worry-Free Guarantee gives you a full refund, and our team helps you rebook. Join 250,000+ travelers on SkyAccess. SkyAccess is an air charter broker, not a direct air carrier, and does not have operational control of any aircraft. All flights are operated by properly licensed direct air carriers, including FAA Part 135 operators in the US and licensed foreign air carriers abroad.
