Verdict
It suits a traveler who can move when a seat is actually posted.
The trade-off is availability. If the board is empty for your date, there is no seat to buy.
Flyjets scores 76 and ranks 9 in this set. The number is a weighted composite, not a star average.
Approach
The company wants the person who booked the jet to sell the extra seats. It is not a scheduled airline.
What they offer
- Peer exchange for seats on booked private flights. Launched in 2025.
- Jessica Fisher is founder and chief executive.
- Membership is required. The flight is still a charter someone else booked.
- Funds sit in escrow until the flight leaves, the founder said.
Score breakdown
Each criterion is scored out of 100 from public product facts. The composite weights customer experience at 30%, booking transparency at 20%, aircraft and airport access at 20%, flexibility at 15%, and safety standards at 15%.

| Safety standards | 78 | -9.0 |
Pricing
Early access to the exchange was priced at $1,500, and regular access near $2,100, in a May 2025 interview. That fee is not the flight.
| Plan | Price | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange access | $1,500 early, about $2,100 later | May 2025 interview. North America first. |
| The flight | Whatever the charter costs | The example given was a $20,000 super-midsize, then selling leftover seats. |
| Money | Escrow until departure | Stated by the founder. |
Best at / Poor fit when
Best at
- A charter client who wants a forum to sell empty seats.
- Someone who will treat the board as optional.
- Someone who can wait for escrow to clear.
Poor fit when
- A set departure that must happen.
- A first-time flyer who thinks membership buys the jet.
- Anyone who needs a thick, proven schedule.
