We coordinate charter flights on private jets, helicopters and even cargo to nearly all major national events. We have the experience necessary to ensure a timely arrival and hassle-free transfer to your important event.
For the past 10 years, athletes, celebrities, the media and fans have trusted Stratos Jet Charters. We coordinate charter flights on private jets, helicopters and even cargo to nearly all major national events. We have the experience necessary to ensure a timely arrival and hassle-free transfer to your important event.
When flying to any high-profile event such as the Masters Tournament or the Super Bowl, private jet travel dramatically increases. To minimize the chance of a disappointment or an inconvenience, we recommend you plan your trip well in advance.
Flying into a city that is hosting a major event can complicate trip planning. Obtaining landing permits, crew visas and other items which normally take only a few days could be more challenging than usual. By booking your private flights a few weeks in advance, we can avoid any unexpected issues
Most airports that serve private jets don’t require departure and arrival time slots. However, that changes when Air Traffic Control anticipates higher than average demand. Unfortunately, most airports won’t confirm airport slots or aircraft parking until close to the day of the event. We recommend that you book your charter flight and confirm your departure and arrival times at least three to four weeks prior to the event. This will help ensure a smooth travel experience.
Due to the increased private jet traffic into the airport, aircraft parking becomes limited. This means that it may not be possible for the aircraft to remain on the ground while you are attending the event. Passengers should be prepared for additional charges for the aircraft to reposition to a nearby airport while you are in attendance. This can further complicate the coordination of your departure after the event has ended.
Pilots are required to conduct all flight related operations operations during the 14-hour period. This includes positioning the aircraft to your departure location. If your plan is to attend the event and return home in the same day, this can be a major consideration. To avoid leaving an event early, pilots can “rest” for 10 consecutive hours before returning to duty. Talk to you charter agent about options to ensure that you can attend the event on your time.
During any heavily attended event, availability for hotel rooms and ground transportation services becomes limited. Often times, hotel rooms will require non-refundable deposits or may become non-cancellable. Once you arrive at the airport, you rely on local ground service providers. Stratos can help you arrange local transport, but as the day of the big event nears, be prepared for a lack of availability.
A mile of highway will take you a mile, but a mile of runway will take you anywhere. Whether you travel domestically or internationally, Stratos is the only private jet company you will ever need. We have the experience that can unlock the most remote reaches of the globe or simply fly you home to your family at a moment’s notice.
Give us your most demanding, complicated travel itinerary and we’ll give you unsurpassed efficiency, meticulous coordination, and an exceptional travel experience. Place your trip in our hands and we’ll reward you with outstanding service, safety, choice, and peace of mind.
Every charter flight review on this page was submitted by a real Stratos Jets customer. In the interest of transparency, we never change reviews or use incentives to influence these reviews.

As charter brokers, we do more than simply book your charter flight. At Stratos Jets, our air charter associates are highly trained personnel capable of matching our clients with the appropriate aircraft for their travel needs. Once we determine how many passengers you’re travelling with and how far you’re flying, we can determine which category of aircraft you require. There are many options available. The most common aircrafts hired for private charters include:
After that, we can help you narrow down the selection of recommended aircraft based on budget, desired cabin amenities, airport requirements, luggage capacity, as well as aircraft age and performance capabilities.
At Stratos Jets, air charter safety is our number one concern. One of our key policies is to increase consumer education. This ensures our clients are able to make informed decisions. We also work with our aircraft providers to ensure their safety training programs meet and even exceed our air charter safety requirements. To make this happen, Stratos Jets is an ARGUS Certified Broker. This means that our brokerage firm is:
There are no additional costs per passenger. At Stratos Jet Charters, we base our private jet rental prices per hour, not per guest.
If you would like to estimate the cost of a private jet charter, use our Stratos pricing estimator page. It lists the most common estimates based on destination and aircraft type. And you can always enter customized data to get an estimate for a specific destination.
We do charge for some of our additional concierge services, such as in-flight catering and entertainment, hotel bookings and ground transportation. We know our clients’ time is precious, so we offer the value and convenience of “one-stop-shopping” through our Trip Support team. When you book a flight with Stratos Jet Charters, we can take care of all the logistics, including booking hotels, meeting spaces, limousines and tickets to special events. That way you can relax, and enjoy your trip.
Also, since we charge per hour, not per passenger, there are travel bargains to be found with our Empty Leg Flights. Many of our private jet rental flights are one-way, and then we need to move the aircraft to a new destination. To reduce the costs of flying an empty aircraft, we offer discounts to travelers with flexible itineraries. Clever passengers will sometimes split the cost with their fellow travelers, thereby reducing the cost for everyone on the flight.
If your plans need to change, we will do everything in our power to accommodate the changes. One of the benefits of hiring Stratos Jet Charters is that we have much more flexibility than commercial airlines and can provide many more air charter services.
We have two teams that can help you. Here is a brief description of each:
This is the initial contact team. They evaluate your travel needs to identify the appropriate aircraft type for your travel plan. Pricing is determined by aircraft availability, its position related to the intended departure location and the position of where the aircraft needs to be after performing the customer’s flight.
Once the aircraft has been selected, Trip Support works with the customer, the air carrier and all concierge service providers to organize all of the travel details. Trip Support is responsible for coordinating:
In reference to last-minute itinerary changes, any changes would go through the Trip Support Team.
Our customers often have demanding flight itineraries that can change quickly. They’ve come to appreciate knowing there’s an entire team of people focused on organizing all the details of their trip. Stratos Jet Charters wants to provide our clients with consistently outstanding air charter service and an impeccable safety record.

Always great to work with you guys.
Catherine L.
Worked with Kerry Hill and as always, she delivered excellent service. First date departure had to be delayed due to a mechanical issue with the aircraft and she kept me well informed. When the revised departure date came, she worked continuously to get a hangar for the aircraft in order to help avoid costly de-icing then next morning. Can't say enough good things about Kerry and Stratos Jet!
David R.
We had a great experience. Our normal broker is equally as professional and good. So we would be happy to try you again as we would our previous broker.
Guy D.
We had quite a number of issues booking this trip, which resulted in add'l work and follow up for me. As broker these issues should have been handled / caught prior to making a proposal. I believe I had to sign 4 different revised quote sheets for this trip! Also the final signed sheet stated we would land in LFMD on the return leg. Hence we booked transportation for pick up at LFMD. However flight landed in LFMN. This caused add'l stress and expense for no reason. I have only now seen that the last itinerary link showed an arrival at LFMN - but I never opened this one since all previous ones, including the contract reconfirmation showed LFMD. As for the aircraft itself: it was one of the oldest ones I have ever flown. The door / separation to the toilet / luggage area was broken (not the lock but the entire frame!) and the toilet was not accessible due to a lot of "stuff" (amenities, water bottles, etc.) being thrown in / stored in the area. Overall cleanliness was not superb either. Finally, the catering we requested was not available / not complete. Breakfast (eggwhite and sausage!!) was cold and wet and the fruitplatter had molded grapes; no ice bucket, nor champagne glasses were present. On the return leg, fruitplatter was nice but again no ice bucket nor champagne glasses were present. As a matter of fact, the soft drink container was not even replenished w new ice!! So overall - yes, we flew from A to B but the service experience was disappointing.

Nice, easy and prompt communication. Pleasure working with your team

Simon Crhistian did a great job.

I always enjoy working with Stratos Jets. They have a great operation that is seamless.
Dan F.
Great flight, always professional and nice aircraft!
Susan R. C.
Wonderful pilots, clean airplane, smooth flight… what’s not to love?
Sarah S.
I had an exceptional time with outstanding service and crew!
Robert D.
From the first quote and phone call to departing the plane and follow up, service was outstanding! Frank (our point of contact) saw to every question and requirement we had with professionalism, courteousness, and speed. I am very used to hiccups and miscommunications when traveling, but with this trip there were absolutely none. The flight crew was friendly, accommodating, and very good at what they do. The flight was probably the smoothest I've ever had. I know that depends on a lot of factors, but it definitely added to the experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use Stratos Jets in the future.
Claus K.
Hi Steve and Joel and Sandy,
Wanted to say thank you for the quick refund. It’s nice to work with you. Very professional.
Bye and best regards to the U.S.,

Andy S.
I will continue to recommend Stratos to friends and business associates. Kyle Jones, the lead on my account, offers exemplary service and always with a smile (I think - I can't see it but I can sense it!). Great work The FBO @ SNA was complimentary of our flight crew for the curtesy they showed with noise abatement - sadly, this practice must not be typical.
Jim Hensley
The passengers we flew had a great experience and were pleased with the flight. Jim Hensley American Jet Charter, Inc
Rich P.
Everything went very smoothly and we were pleased with everything on the trip.
Benjamin Harrison
I have worked with Joel and Stratos Jets for several years and it has always been a pleasure. Most recently they booked a flight from St Petersburg, FL to Sanford, FL to Niagara Falls, NY with us on our Citation CJ1. The experience, as always was flawless and realtime feedback and communication meant the ASAP flight went without a hitch. Thank you Joel and team, I look forward to many more years of business with you.
Gene A.
Joel and the team at Stratos Jet Charters were great. Even on short notice, Joel was able to charter a plane for me in California and made sure that it was a smooth process the whole trip. He was readily available when I had several last minute changes to the itinerary. Highly recommend.
Bryan W.
From beginning to end the process was easy and seamless. While we were flying on an older mid-size jet, the interior had been recently updated and was really nice. We will definitely use Stratos again.
Kathleen L.
Yes, will highly recommend and will use your service again. The captain and co pilot were friendly and helpful. They did an excellent job getting us to Chicago and back to Virginia home safely. Frank did an excellent job answering all my questions and kept me up dated on everything. Thank you again, Kathleen L.
Mathieu C.
Kyle from Stratos Jet was great to deal with... quick responses....great service....great prices....A+ experience
C. Mason
Two thumbs up!
Scott D.
We had a great experience, particularly with Steve and the booking process, as well as with flight, which was fantastic. We would highly recommend Stratos. Thanks again!
Jeff P.
As always, Stratos has the best selection of aircraft and crew. Zach is amazing to work with.
Elisha K.
Thanks for all your updates. I could get used to this.
John K.
Zach was pleasant, knowledgeable, efficient and a delight to deal with. I have usually used another broker but Zach won the charter for your company Joel. Well done.
Joe F.
Yes, Joel is the best guy you could ever hope to charter with!!
John H.
Glenn made booking easy and was on top of every detail throughout the process. The flight itself was flawless. Many thanks.
Al W.
Absolutely wonderful,....would recommend this to anyone [if they can afford it], real value….worth every penny!! Absolute comfort,.. courteous,... simple booking,...true luxury,.....best possible trip home from Florida !!
Caron P.
From start to finish, our experience with Stratos was totally professional, made very simple and the ultimate in how charter travel should be booked/enjoyed! We know it takes an entire team behind the scenes but all credit to Joel for his 'personal' touch and for making our return trip to New York a very memorable one indeed!!! We have used several charter companies worldwide over the years but Joel and his team beat them all!!!
Robbie Nelson
Kyle and the entire Stratos team's coordination and communication is top notch and we look forward to working with you all again!
Jim M.
The full experience was seamless and efficient. Our requests were handled immediately and to our full satisfaction. The administration, equipment and crew were all top notch.
Rick H.
Easy to book with a lot of options regarding the type of aircraft needed
Kimberly S.
Great experience with Stratos Jet Charters! Superior knowledge and outstanding customer service! Went above and beyond to make sure our flight was perfect. Highly recommended for anything from a short turboprop trip, to a transcontinental flight.
Orian D.
The service, follow up, and support was fantastic. Stratos made our family trip a success and we were all able to be together without the hassles of traveling. I would definitely recommend them! Thanks!
Gary C.
This trip was unusual in that on the return there was a tropical storm that hit our area. Joel stayed in constant contact with me and flight operations so there was never a time that I was uninformed. I have no hesitancy to recommend Joel, a pilot himself and in charge of Stratos, to others seeking a charter operator.....in fact I have done just that.
Beau H.
Great job Steve!
Vicki B.
Ricky was awesome and everything went smoothly. I will certainly use your services again should a need arise. Thank you for everything!
Sage L.
Anthony is amazing. He goes above and beyond every time anyone in my family has booked a flight through Stratos. He makes sure all of our needs are met and walks us through every step. After flight is booked he checks on us every step of the way to our destination and back.
Adam S.
We had another great trip with Stratos. Booking was very helpful and provided us with a beautiful aircraft. The pilots were great and flight attendant was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Thank you!
Jim Hensley
We appreciated the trip you allowed us to fly. Everything went well on the trip and your customer enjoyed the flight on our King Air.
Dave R.
We have used another broker and they too have been very good. I have enjoyed the two trips that I have booked with you and I have booked a third next month
Stephen K.
Anthony, couldn't have been better. Elegant and effortless. Delightful crew and immaculate plane. Thanks for helping us with this and I am sure you will hear from us in the future.
All the best,
Steve
Ahmed A.
Stratos Jet Charters is always professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them. They care about their customers and work hard to keep you happy and comfortable the entire flight.
Dave P.
Passenger stated that the jet's interior was shoddy and showed that the jet wasn't well taken care of. Said crew was nice. Stated no coffee available although I had specified de-caf to be provided and followed that up with company client services requesting same.
Rio L.
As usual, Anthony made the entire experience wonderful. He was expeditious in finding options for our trip and maintained continuous communication. The flight and support he provided were excellent.
Christopher M.
I got quotes from several companies. Glenn at Stratos was the only one who took a personal interest, understood our needs, and kept in regular contact. The jets selected were perfect and were competitively priced.
Carol K.
Competitive pricing and unbelievable customer service, from inquiry to post flight. They make it happen and make it easy. I will not competitive shop again because I have found the best price and service with Stratos.
Laura C.
Good morning, Joel. I have been in the customer service business for 30 years as a realtor and previously customer service manager for a performing arts hall. I am very critical when it comes to customer service as so many companies who pride themselves being excellent fall short. I feel when it excels, it should be pointed out to their superior.
Falling short is certainly not the case with Kyle Jones and Leslie Jackson. This is my first experience with chartering a private plane. My 94 year old father and 92 year old mother are going to their favorite place in the world, the Beau Rivage hotel in Biloxi MS at Christmas time. A charter flight works so much better than the hassle of traveling commercial today.
Kyle was on top of everything for me and when I would send him a question via email the response was rapid fire. The same goes for Leslie. I don’t think it was more than 5 minutes before a response came back. Their friendliness, professionalism and knowledge is above par and you are extremely lucky to have them on the Stratos team.
My father insists he will be going again next year and I hope he is correct. I will contact Stratos for their traveling needs and hopefully work with both the wonderful Kyle and Leslie again.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and a happy New Year.
Laura
Steve R.
I was pleased with the way Heather assisted me. She followed-up throughout the process and during the flight.
James S.
I/we had never used a private charter previously. Compared to flying commercial, this was a stress free walk in the park. Danny Morejon was responsive and reliable, making sure that all of the parts were in the right place. I do have some significant complaints about side services (catering and car rental) but, may be out of Stratos control. Other than that, the flying experience and coordination were wonderful.
Angie Wessinger
The entire process was smooth with Stratos Jet and the communication from all team members was great!
Mike S.
My family has flown with you dozens of times. Everything, from booking, to the flights, to the follow-up shows that you care about your customers. I would definitely recommend Stratos & have already done so.
David A.
In every aspect of my travel experience my trip was perfect. My exchanges with Anthony we're great, the planes we're beautiful and on time
Guy S.
we are pleased with the pricing and servicing we are getting
Eric Sanchez
I love the team and especially working with Kerry. Always a pleasure
Rick H.
We have used Stratos for the past two years to handle our travel plans and enjoy the ease and attention to detail our trips have been handled with.
Caroline L.
This was our first experience chartering a jet, and it was wonderful! I reached out to 40 private jet companies. We chose Stratos because Daniel went above and beyond from day one. He was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable about the aircraft. We weren't even sure what we were asking for in the beginning. We just had a checklist we were looking for. Daniel took this and helped us find the perfect aircraft for the trip. Daniel over-communicated and helped all along the way. The trip was so smooth. I can't recommend Stratos (and Daniel) enough. Thank you for such a wonderful and stress-free experience!
Myra B.
Every aspect was professional, courteous, and reliable.
Leonid S.
Perfect experience.
Drew K.
I had the pleasure to work with Joel on a last minute trip needed to transport several professional athletes to an event. Joel was fast-acting and completely professional every step of the way. He sent constant updates to make sure our trip needs were met every step of the way. I would recommend Joel and Stratos to anybody looking to book private jets who also values professionalism and accountability.
Matt S.
amazing experience.
Chris B.
None. My experience with Strosjets honestly couldn't have been better
Duane I.
Experience with Stratos was fine. Flight crew was both professional and personable. Aircraft was in top shape.
Nancy S.
Kyle B.
This service was unmatched and couldn’t have been better!
James Mead
I like the new summary sheets you are sending, information is the key and they work. Have always loved running for you guy, you make it easy. Thank you for all you do and it is our goal to keep the relationship growing. Thanks Team! Jim
Paula D.
I have not arranged or travelled by private jet except to Lanai in Hawaii. My husband and i usually fly first or business so to ensure a good service and safety i contacted 4 brokers to ask for quotes, Randy Schuette provided more than a quote, he explained the whole process and his reassuring knowledge and attention to detail was the reason i used Stratos. The trip advisory team were then very informative, and responsive. The plane was beautiful and the pilots were very friendly. I would definitely recommend Stratos and look forward to using your services again.
Christina H.
Kevin is great to work with. I'll call him again. the aircraft crew were great. Thank you for making this trip so easy for us.
Kim H.
I have never met Anthony, but based on his efforts over the years, I would hire him sight unseen. Best customer service. Period. I've gone with other carriers who promised lower price and got stranded. He's always found a way to accommodate even when challenges occur. Top notch.
Justin M.
Peace of mind!!! My family and I just completed our first charter on a private jet with Stratos. My wife and I have been on a few of our friend’s charters before and I fly regularly on my company's aircraft but this was the first charter of our own. Stratos and specifically Joel Thomas made my wife and I feel that we were in great hands throughout the planning, selection and ultimately flight process. Family loved it!!! Great experience.
Bruce M.
The flight itself was fine. Glenn was in communication with me frequently but shortly before my flight the Tail Number changed to a new plane and I was not given a new itinerary with the correct arrival point. We flew into Modern Aviation but I expected to be a Hawthorne Aviation. My ride was at the wrong location and I had to adjust that myself after landing. She was livid at the lack of notification on the change. It wasn't a pleasant ride home.
Karen B.
Our experience was magnificent. Everyone at Stratos was on point and helpful with any and all questions we had for our trip. Glenn Walters was exceptional attentive. Your services are highly recommended.
Jason Bercan
Its always a pleasure working with Stratos Jets. I work with Joel and Kerry a majority of the time and my experiences have been great. The communication is clear and we work through every scenario available to provide the right aircraft for each mission. I look forward to continued growth of our relationship together.
Søren Bisgaard
As the operator, this client showed great brokerskills. Precise emails and everything was provided shortly after requested. Would love to work with StratosJets again soon.
Leah L.
Top notch experience, pilot was amazing, plane was great, service was phenomenal. No complaints at all.
Tonio B.
The Stratos Jet Charters team provides a seamless & excellent experience from beginning to end. They are a forward thinking company that puts the customer first and never disappoints with any trip or itinerary. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Jonathan E.
Joel and Stratosjets made my last minute flight to the Masters possible. Price was competitive and services was second to none. Joel and his team responded to each call and SMS in a matter of seconds. They took care of every detail from flight, to transport and everything in between. Jonathan E. Owner of Mercedes-Benz Dealership
Sean L.
Very fast quote ~ excellent pricing, strong safety rating. Trip was excellent.
Nathalie R.
We needed to book a same-day plane for employees and tools to provide urgent assistance to a customer. Zach was effective, proactive and cooperative in providing a solution, precise information and updates. Would recommend Stratos Jet anytime! Thank you!
Paula W.
It's all good !
Robert C.
Everything was done in super fashion. Anthony the scheduler, Anthony and Terry the pilots were fantastic!
Brian H.
Service was incredible. Joel and Stratos was fantastic. Had a delayed special occasion and they went out of their way to make everything perfect. It was a surprise trip and could not have been easier to work with and very helpful in getting all arrangements made for in-flight. Beyond a 5 star. Thank you all for making a special trip a truly MEMORABLE one for us!!!
Emily E.
Once again, Stratos Jets provided perfect travel service with competitive prices! We needed to move a family member with memory loss and agitation from Boston to Houston on very short notice. Joel set everything up within 24 hours- a beautiful private jet, cars and drivers at both ends of the trip, a security detail plus catering. I am completely impressed with this company and will use them whenever I need private jet service. Thank you, Joel!
Karen W.
Randy was so helpful during my scheduling of this trip and kept me informed. I will recommend Randy to all of our associates. Thank you for your service
Julie T.
I've had 3 round trips with Stratos and except for a little fog on one leg everything was always great! The pilots were all awesome! StratosJets is a very dedicated company to make sure everything is safe and sound.
Jessica Kirby
As always, we enjoy working with you all. We all strive to accommodate the clients needs as best as possible, on our end and your end. Looking forward to many more trips with you all in the future.
Eric Sanchez
Always a pleasure to work with the Stratos Jet crew. You all have great communication with us which makes our life as an operator easier. Great job from Kerry, Sarah, and Trip Support as always.
Karmin M.
Kyle was most helpful in planning this trip for my parents. From when we arrived at the FBO, until they made it to their final destination point, everything was perfect. The pilots were very kind, knowledgeable, and polite. I would highly recommend the Stratos Jets.
Sue B.
MY agent did a great job. Due to the immediate nature of the flight, we didn't compare to others but he was very quick to respond.
Todd C.
Incredibly responsive, great service, sourced a great plane, would definitely recommend to friends.
JR Chlamon
Very good communication and timely responses for flight details. We work with alot of brokers and your level of expertise and communication is a breath of fresh air from what we typically see. Thank you again for your business and we hope to continue our relationship with your organization! JR
Betsey S.
This was our 6th trip with Stratos/Simon Christian. We will do this again w/ you next summer. I've sold you to friends i believe who also will be booking with you/Simon Christian. thank you for everything..
Taylor Morell
One of the more detail oriented, organized brokers and brokerages to work with. Didn't matter who I coordinated with, between broker and trip support personnel, they treated us with respect and professionalism each and every single time. Looking forward to welcoming your clients on board again soon!
Gaetano C.
Everything was very good, however, I am disappointed that I was quoted one price and was charged another.
Rick H.
As always the flight and booking process was handled with ease and professionalism. Our pilots were very personable and the aircraft was exactly what we were looking for.
Brandi P.
Always a pleasure working with Stratos Jets. Never have had a bad experience.
Kristof Catteeuw
Transparant, smooth, easy working with the entire team
Cathy L.
Would definitely recommend Statos Jets. Always know Kerry Hill is doing her best for us.
Henry N.
WE were told to go to First Aviation Services terminal at Teterboro but our plane was at another terminal so we wasted over 45 minutes trying to find our aircraft and our agent was not at all helpful. In fact he told us someone was coming to pick us up and they never came and we had to find someone to help us get to the terminal our plane was located at. The agent asked us for our rental car info but when we landed in Naples the rental car was not at the terminal and we had to find a ride over to the other side of the air field to get our rental car. The flight was great but the handling of the pre and post flight were below normal and not what I am used to when I fly private.
