Manifest to Offer Fixed Hourly Rates for Private Air Charters as Part of Membership

Lifestyle Travel Club the First to Provide Guaranteed Rates for Private Charter Flights with No Deposit Required
February 22, 2023

DENVER--()--Manifest, the exclusive, lifestyle and travel club that provides custom-crafted getaways to unique destinations within the U.S. and abroad with the option of pairing trips with private plane service, announced today that the company will now offer guaranteed hourly rates for private charter flights – with no deposit required – as part of membership.

“Manifest has the ability to secure the best private charter rates in the industry – rates we guarantee to our members – without the costly up-front deposit.”

“Typically, to access guaranteed private charter pricing, consumers have to deposit $100,000 or even up to $500,000 with a jet card company,” said Jeff Potter, CEO of Manifest. “Manifest has the ability to secure the best private charter rates in the industry – rates we guarantee to our members – without the costly up-front deposit.”

Manifest offers two memberships: the Premier Level is $2,500 per year and includes $1,000 credit toward a charter or experience while the Elite Level is $5,000 per year and includes a $2,000 charter or experience credit. Fixed hourly rates for Premium Level members range from $7,000 for a light jet to $15,000 for a heavy jet. For Elite Level, fixed hourly rates range from $6,500 for a light jet to $14,500 for a heavy jet.

“Locking in a fixed hourly rate for private air charters means that Manifest members are less subject to the fluctuations in the market due to fuel costs or having their money tied up with a jet card in the event of volatile economic conditions,” added Potter. “We think this is an unparalleled value for luxury travelers with savings that will likely recoup annual dues in one trip.”

In addition to fixed hourly rates for private air travel, Manifest members also have unlimited access to a growing collection of curated experiences; a dedicated Member Services Manager to provide expert travel planning services for business or leisure travel; flexibility to travel commercial for Manifest experiences, which Manifest will also arrange; worldwide preferred access and pricing through Manifest partnerships in the luxury hospitality industry; and the joy of connecting with like-minded travelers. Manifest also has a one-year guarantee – if members are dissatisfied with the club or don’t use it, they will refund dues, no questions asked.

The Manifest experience is seamless for members – from private car transportation to/from the airport both at home and in-destination to the ease of private air travel; from high-touch service on the ground to pre-planned activities that reflect the soul of the destination, in addition to plenty of free time to explore members’ own interests. Manifest designs, curates and manages logistical components of planned activities for each experience, which range from three to seven days in length and range in price depending on the activity, location, and length of stay. A full list of Manifest experiences is available here.

More information on Manifest’s fixed hourly rates for private charters is available at www.manifestescapes.com/membership.
