Fly Vaunt 17+

I was skeptical of the service at first, but after taking a flight on one of the jets in their fleet, I must say I am impressed. Service is great, snacks and drinks provided, very efficient. This is hands down the best option for flying empty leg flights. I look forward to renewing my membership if summer travels go well. Totally worth the money, too many good things to say about Vaunt.

I bought this membership two days ago then got on a waitlist for a flight, when the flight time came it was cancelled. Then joined another waitlist & got bumped twice and the only way I could get in first position is to pay $995. Can no longer reach my salesperson he’s gone radio silent and I had to track down a number for Volota to get a call. Also left messages on social media finally had someone named “Tim” call back his reply was so bland and he conveyed that I was oversold & under delivered by the rep. I got a refund because I’m not paying a membership fee to keep paying again to be in position for the flight. In addition if you are a new member you get bumped by existing members that are recruiting more members so once this thing gets going the only way to actually fly will be to pay the fee that you are only allowed to pay once a year. So it will be good in the beginning but unless you are referring or held your membership you can probably fly once a year if you live in a city with a lot of members. This program will ultimately end up breaking and the only people that will lose are the new members like a pyramid scheme.

You pay a yearly fee to get on a waitlist to maybe get a flight out of where you are to a random place that you can select so a pilot doesn’t have an empty plane while in transit for their real paying customers. And then how do you get home? “We recommend booking a commercial flight for your return journey, as all Vaunt flights are currently one-way.”

I can only see this being good for people who want to have the experience of riding in a private jet and have a lot of free time and extra money. Keep in mind you’ll also be paying return commercial fare. When the ad says “ Unlimited private flights for $995.” It’s misleading at best.

Their copy makes it seem like you get to use a private jet service for travel but you’re really only paying for their filler flights that may or may not be where you really need to go.
