Private jet charter: which operator fits your trip?
Villiers, Paramount, Stratos, and Jettly all price the same route differently. A 4-question match.
Disclosure: we earn a referral commission when you book. Routing reflects fit, not payout.
How the match works
| If your trip is... | Best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| International / 3500+ mi, 9+ pax | Paramount Business Jets | Strong heavy/long-range network, seasoned ops on intl permits |
| US transcon one-way, 4-8 pax | Stratos Jet Charters | US-focused brokerage with consistent empty-leg sourcing |
| Regional / domestic, any pax | Villiers Jets | Widest price-compare network, fast quote across 10k+ aircraft |
| You fly monthly+ | Jettly | Membership model reduces per-trip markup if you book often |
Rule of thumb: If you fly fewer than 4 trips/year, a broker (Villiers, Paramount, Stratos) beats a membership. If you fly monthly or more, run the math on Jettly or a jet card.
FAQ
- Why not just call one operator?
- Charter prices for the same jet on the same route commonly vary 15-35% across brokers because each has different aircraft commitments. One quote is not a market.
- What's an "empty leg"?
- A repositioning flight the operator has to fly anyway; they discount the seat. Only useful if your dates are flexible by +/- 1-2 days.
- Are these brokers or operators?
- Villiers, Paramount, Stratos, and Jettly are brokers - they source aircraft from certified operators. US flights should be on Part 135 operators; ask before you pay.
