ASK A QUESTIONEvery quote is itemised in writing before you pay. You see (1) the aircraft operator cost — the flight hours charged by the certified operator; (2) our fixed broker fee, agreed in advance and never a percentage markup; (3) taxes and regulatory fees such as the U.S. Federal Excise Tax (FET), Segment Fees, VAT or foreign equivalents where applicable; and (4) airport and handling charges — landing, ramp, de-icing, overnight and international permits. Nothing is added later; if a fuel or handling cost changes between quote and invoice, we show you the delta from the operator, line by line.
A fixed broker fee, disclosed on every quote. We do not mark up the operator's price, we do not take a percentage of the flight cost, and we do not receive volume kickbacks that would incentivise us to book one operator over another. The fee is the same whether you fly a light jet or an ultra-long-range aircraft — our compensation does not change with the size of your invoice.
It depends on where you fly. U.S. domestic flights carry a 7.5% Federal Excise Tax plus a per-passenger Segment Fee. International legs are subject to departure and arrival taxes, security fees and, in some jurisdictions, VAT on the charter or on catering. Every applicable tax is listed as its own line on the quote with the collecting authority named — we never bundle taxes into a single opaque number.
Standard landing, ramp, parking and handling at the departure and arrival airports are included in the quoted price. Optional or event-driven charges — de-icing in winter, extended overnight parking, VIP terminal use, extra security or special catering — are quoted separately in advance and only added with your written approval.
No. There is no client-side commission, no service percentage and no card surcharge on top of the disclosed price. The number at the bottom of your quote is the number you pay — in USD, EUR, GBP or cryptocurrency — and it is the same number that appears on your invoice and receipt.
Yes. Use the instant estimate form at the top of the page to send an inquiry with your route, date and passenger count — our desk returns a live private jet charter price within minutes, 24/7. Indicative pricing is generated immediately; a binding quote with the exact aircraft and tail number follows shortly after.
Most domestic charters can be in the air within 4–6 hours of confirming. Empty legs can sometimes depart within the hour, and international itineraries usually take 8–12 hours to coordinate cleanly.
When a chartered jet drops off its passengers, it often needs to reposition somewhere else without anyone on board. We resell those legs at a steep discount — same aircraft, same crew, you just have to be flexible on date or time.
Yes — we operate worldwide across 5,000+ airports. Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and the Americas are all served from a single desk, with local handlers everywhere we fly.
We are an independent brokerage. Every flight is sourced from operators certified by ARGUS, WYVERN or IS-BAO, with crews we know personally. We share the operator and tail number before you book — never after.
We accept wire, card and cryptocurrency. For one-off charters payment is due at booking. Limitless Sky Reserve members can use deposited funds toward eligible charter flights. Corporate and family-office clients may request tailored billing arrangements subject to approval.
Yes to all three — that's the whole point of flying private. Tell us in the brief and we'll match an aircraft with the right cabin, baggage hold and catering.

A founder on a closing-week sprint needed to be in three cities in five days without losing a working hour. We routed a Global 6000 around her calendar — not the other way round.

THE WORLD WE FLY
Limitless Sky arranges private jet charter worldwide — from light jets like the Citation CJ3 for short European hops to ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500 for non-stop intercontinental flights. Every operator we book is certified by ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO, and we share the tail number, crew and safety record before you confirm. Read more on our fleet page or compare aircraft in our side-by-side comparisons.
When a chartered jet repositions without passengers, we resell that leg at up to 75% off the standard charter rate. Live availability is published on our empty legs page and refreshed by the minute. It’s the fastest, most cost-effective way to access a private cabin if you can be flexible on date, time or routing — the same aircraft, the same crew, a fraction of the price.
From the Mediterranean coast and the Swiss Alps to the Maldives, the Caribbean and Aspen, our desk plans full luxury travel itineraries built around a private jet. Discover routes in our destinations directory, explore signature city pairs in our routes index, and read trip notes in the Flight Journal.
Through our partnership with Blue Ocean Club and Limitless Sea, we craft superyacht journeys that begin in the air: a private jet to Nice, Olbia, Palma or St. Barths, a helicopter transfer straight to deck, then days aboard a fully crewed yacht in the Mediterranean or Caribbean. One advisor handles the entire arc — air, sea and ground.
Every charter includes a dedicated advisor coordinating ground transfers, hotel and villa bookings, in-flight catering, security, pet handling and last-minute schedule changes — 24 hours a day, in any time zone. Reach the charter desk directly on the contact page or read our FAQ for the most common questions.
For frequent flyers, the Limitless Sky Reserve offers transparent member discounts of 3%, 5% or 10% on eligible charter bookings, applied clearly on every quote. Deposit funds or earn status through flights and receive AI empty leg alerts, priority charter support and dedicated account management.
Monaco Grand Prix weekend, Cannes Film Festival, Art Basel, Wimbledon, the Super Bowl, ski weeks in Courchevel — for marquee events we hold aircraft, slots and ground arrangements in advance for repeat travelers.
