Our role in your Seattle charter
We are a charter broker. We act as your agent to find a suitable aircraft and operator for your trip, and we pass your request and details to the operator. We do not own or operate aircraft and we do not exercise operational control over any flight.
The flight itself is operated by an air carrier holding FAA Part 135 authority. That operator has final authority over the aircraft, crew, routing, and schedule, and its own terms govern the flight.
Quotes are estimates until confirmed
Prices you see on this site are estimates. They are built from aircraft class, hourly rates, and typical trip length, and they are meant for comparison. They are not an offer and they are not a booking.
A trip becomes real only when the operator confirms aircraft availability and pricing in writing. Until then, the estimate can move because of aircraft position, crew duty limits, fuel, airport slots, or demand. We will show you the confirmed number before you commit.
Payment, changes, and cancellation
Payment terms come from the operator's charter contract, not from us. That contract sets the deposit, the due date, accepted payment methods, and what happens if a trip changes or cancels.
Cancellation charges are also set by the operator's contract and often depend on how close to departure you cancel. Review that contract carefully. Once you and the operator sign it, its terms control the money and the trip.
Taxes, fees, and what the price includes
Quoted prices generally include the flight and standard crew costs, but they may not include everything. Federal excise tax applies to domestic air transportation, and airport fees, landing fees, handling, de-icing, catering, and ground transport can add to the total.
International trips may carry customs, immigration, and overflight charges. We list known fees where we can, and the operator's final invoice shows the actual charges. Ask us to itemize anything you are unsure about before you book.
Operational control and your safety
The operator is responsible for dispatching the flight, assigning a qualified crew, maintaining the aircraft, and complying with FAA regulations. Its pilots make the go or no-go call on weather, runway conditions, and aircraft performance.
That authority matters around Seattle. Density altitude at Boeing Field is forecast at 1,200 ft in July and 1,800 ft at 115F, and aircraft performance is judged against real conditions on the day. If the operator delays or cancels for safety, its contract sets what you are owed.
Limits on our liability
Because we arrange rather than operate, we are not liable for the operator's acts or omissions, for delays, diversions, cancellations, or for injury or property damage during the flight. Those fall under the operator's contract and its insurance.
Our total liability to you for any claim related to the brokerage service is limited to the commission we earn on your booking, to the extent the law allows. Nothing here removes rights you have that cannot be waived. Questions about these terms can go to us before you book.
