For seat buyers - to buy seats

If you need to travel on a certain day you can use the search facility on the home page by selecting your route (departing and arriving airports) and date of departure. You can choose to look at returning flight too. If you find a seat select the seat numbers you like using the seating plan map to guide you and click ‘Buy Seat(s)’. The seats and their cost is added to the ‘Itinerary’ located floating on the top right hand side of the page. You can continue browsing for seats - you won’t loose your seats, however they will be cleared if not purchased 10mins after you added them.

More than one way to buy a seat

In order to help make private jet travel affordable we’ve provided a couple of ways to buy seats. This excludes chartering your own aircraft of course.

Fixed Price For Seats - you pay the price you see.
Fare Share Price For Seats - the cost of your seat(s) is shared equally amongst all the passengers.
Bid Price For Seats - make an offer for a seat and where the offer is sufficient to cover the cost of the flight your offer is accepted.

When selecting your seats notice that on some flights labelled ‘Fare Share’. When you select seats the price per seats comes down. And the price will always come down, for everyone who books a seat on that flight.

How’s that you may ask? Let me explain. The member who first charters the aircraft pays the full amount. That member will have made some of their seats available to you, so as you select seats the costs are always going to be shared equally, until every seat is sold and everyone pays the minimum amount, equally divided up.
Listen up as this is important. If you bought a seat for £5,000 and then later another member books seats on your flight you will be reimbursed with the Fare Share of the costs. Until, as I mentioned, all the seats are sold at the lowest price equally divided up.

Where a flight is a ‘Fare Share’ flight you may also bid for a seat. Just like online bidding websites. Of course it does not guarantee your seat but if enough people bid or buy and the total cost of the seats is covered your bid will trigger and you’ll get your seats at your bid price. Unlike a straight ‘Fare Share’ flight this price won’t come down, but you’ll most likely have secured it at a fraction of the actual cost.

Visit the seat availability pages and take a look around. Pretend you’re booking seats and see how the costs are calculated. When you’re done let me know how it went. Email me at rob.enslin@flyvictor.com, or why not call me at +44 (0) 7590 52 8890.
