Jet Linx Aviation recently augmented their jet card services with a new model of offerings and added value to simplify the way members fly .
New members join through a one-time membership fee of either $ 12,500 as a Club Card holder or $ 17,500 as an Executive Card holder , paying by the hour for utilization and also earning flight credit and enhanced Elevated Lifestyle Plus ( EL +) benefits the more members fly .
Some cost-effective differentiators for Jet Linx members include round-trip rates based on occupied flight time only , meaning no additional charges for pilot wait time , pilot expenses , or overnights ; one-way rates that charge for occupied flight time only as opposed to the common practice of charging for empty legs to get the aircraft home or inflating the occupied hourly rate to an amount that also reflects the cost of empty legs ; as well as members ’ access to Jet Linx ’ s entire fleet and every jet size , without penalty for the upgrade .
