Welcome to "Other Air Travel"

There is considerable interest in forms of air travel that do not necessarily earn miles and points. This forum is the place to discuss them. Potential topics include:
  • Private jets, owned or leased by the individual or business
  • Private jet shared ownership programs, also called Fractional Jets. NetJets is one example.
  • Companies that lease excess space on private jets, perhaps thru annual membership fee. For example, JetSmarter is a membership program that allows members to fly on empty legs of private jets (JetDeals) and seats on scheduled private jet shuttles (JetShuttle).
  • General rental of private aircraft, with or without crew provided
  • Private jet charter programs of major carriers, like DL Private Jets, that might or might not carry FF program miles and elite status
  • One time charters for private groups, like the MegaDO flights
  • Flight schools and flying lessons
  • Helicopters (often airport service, so this would belong in destination fora except for discussion of operators that span regions and general issues, plus sightseeing helicopter flights)
  • Commercial flights into space, any type of vehicle
