Your Introductory Guide to the OPES JET Booking Process
Updated over a week ago

Welcome to OPES JET, your trusted partner in delivering a seamless and personalized private jet booking experience. Our commitment spans from your initial Charter Flight Request to the moment you board your chosen jet, ensuring a smooth journey at every step.


In this guide, we will walk you through the entire process, providing a clear understanding of what you can expect with each step.

Step 1: Discover Real Charter Offers for Better Market Insight

As you begin your journey with OPES JET, we offer real-time quotes and/or charter estimates for your flight requests. These offers are based on the current positions of available aircraft, and take into account seasonality, historic pricing, and market expectations to provide you with a comprehensive view of the market. This initial step lets you better understand the differences between the various private jet types and categories and their corresponding pricing.
This approach sets the stage for a smooth experience, giving you a clear picture of what you can expect when you continue exploring the charter market further.

Step 2: Customize your Journey by Sharing your Preferences

OPES JET is unique in more ways than one. We do not instantly generate hundreds of unusable quotations, but instead we first provide you with real-time market insights before helping you further tailor your flight requests to ensure you receive offers you really want to book.

Our marketplace has the ability to directly connect you to 8000+ private jets world-wide, so it is important to set the right requirements to highlight those operators who will truly want to do their best to exceed your expectations, and win your flight.

This helps save time, and ensures you the best available rates.

By following this unique approach OPES JET was able to achieve the industry's highest request to booking conversion ratio: averaging 35% in 2022.
The benchmark for charter platforms is an average conversion rate around 5%.

Ready to take full control of your private jet travel experience?

As a first-time user of our App, unlock your account first by completing the payment of our symbolic Retainer Fee. Once paid, we will remove your restrictions and your Flight Requests will be added to our charter marketplace where it can be viewed by the entire Private Aviation Network.

Step 3 : Retainer Fee: Enhancing Your Booking Experience:

OPES JET is an exclusive, by invitation only, private jet charter marketplace. When we accept a new member from our waiting list, we grant them a provisional membership to our private jet booking platform, while those who enter by invitation by a full member enter with inherent trust.
To ensure the authenticity of our provisional members and their charter requests, we've introduced a one-time retainer fee for the symbolic amount. To reciprocate this trust, we immediately reimburse the retainer fee in the form of OPES Tokens (store credit), which can be used to offset our 4% service fee on the next successful booking.

We would love to see everyone utilizing the incredible benefits of private jet charters, but unfortunately, private jet charter is simply not for everyone.

Please read this article for more information on our Retainer Fee and how it has elevated the quality of our platform, or simply click on the button below to proceed to Step 4.

Step 4: Bookable Offers from Operators:

Full, non-provisional members have complete access our entire marketplace and direct access to thousands of aircraft operators who are ready to compete for your charter flight.

Now that you have a grasp on what to expect from the market, and you have made a pre-selection of some preliminary offers, we can move forward with securing bookable offers directly from suitable operators. These offers have been reviewed by operators and can be instantly booked on our platform. Please note that all charter offers have a first-come, first-served basis, so if you find an offer that you like, you're encouraged to express your interest quickly to avoid losing it. The private jet charter market is a seasonal market, so especially during the summer period, aircraft availability and prices can change quite rapidly.

Step 5: Securing your Charter Booking

Payment of our Service Fee:

Once you've found the charter offer you really wish to book, you can initiate the booking process on our platform. Simply click the "book now" button on the offer of choice and pay the corresponding service fee. You can pay our fees using most credit cards, Apple Pay, or even by spending "OPES Tokens" (our internal currency) you had been awarded, or had purchased before.

Charter Agreement and Operator Payment:

After paying the service fee, the booking process is started automatically. The chosen operator receives a notification of your interest, along with your billing information to prepare the charter agreement and invoice.

The charter agreement is uploaded into the app, and you can access and sign this agreement directly in-app, while on the go, saving time and paper.


Different operators will offer different payment methods. Not everyone will accept all credit cards, and the processing fees may vary greatly between operators. The majority of operators will accept bank- or wire transfers without additional processing fees.

Charter Preparation & VIP Arrangements:

You can immediately begin to upload the necessary travel documents for your passengers and pets.
Our team will assist you to handle any details regarding VIP catering and transportation. Many operators might not have a dedicated team equipped to handle the needs of (U)HNWI's, which is why OPES JET will also assist your operator to avoid any oversights in the preparation of your flight.

Enjoy Your Trip:

With everything set, you're ready to commence your private jet journey. Relax and enjoy your travel in comfort. The operator will take care of all the operational requirements, while our team stays in close contact to ensure nothing is overlooked.
You will continue to receive any last minute in-app updates surrounding your aircraft to ensure you are always 100% informed right up until you land at your destination.

We take care of the details so you can focus on your journey and create lasting memories.
