US-based lifestyle and travel club Manifest will now offer guaranteed hourly rates for private charter flights, with no deposit required, as part of its membership.

“Typically, to access guaranteed private charter pricing, consumers have to deposit $100,000 or even up to $500,000 with a jet card company,” says CEO Jeff Potter. “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,” adds Potter. “We think this is an unparalleled value for luxury travellers 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 travellers. Manifest also has a one year guarantee; if members are dissatisfied with the club or don't use it, they will refund fees, no questions asked.

The Manifest experience is seamless for members; from private car transportation to and from the airport, both at home and at the destination, to the ease of private air travel and pre-planned activities 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.
