By Richard Jasinski·Updated 11 November 2026

These 31 private jet companies state whether US Federal Excise Tax is included in or added to their prices on their own websites, read 10 November 2026. Each card gives what the company says about it, with the aircraft, place, hours, fee or price where it names one, then what it sells, why to choose it, what to ask for and the limits it publishes.

Which private jet charter companies say whether US Federal Excise Tax is included?

31 private jet companies in the Uncompromised Travel table say on their own websites that they state whether US Federal Excise Tax is included in or added to their prices; Atlantic Air Charter, P3 Jets and Hera Flight have the most Google reviews under their own name.

Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel private jet charter table holds 104 companies: the charter brokers, jet card and membership programmes, fractional owners, operators, empty-leg platforms and shared-seat sellers ChatGPT names most often when asked about private jets. Their own websites were read on 10 November 2026, with their Google listings matched by name. This page carries the 31 companies in the table that, on their own websites, state whether US Federal Excise Tax is included in or added to their prices, where that can be shown in their own words with any price dated; a line that rests only on a price with no year is left out. Cards are in alphabetical order. Each line on a card gives what the company's own website says, with a link to the page it came from; a second reader checked 540 of the table's rows against the pages. No company paid to be on this page.

The operator's name, the aircraft's tail number, its operating certificate and any safety audit the operator holds (ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO).
How your money is held before the flight, the deposit and when the balance is due.
The cancellation terms and what happens if the aircraft goes unserviceable or an empty leg is cancelled.

Federal Excise Tax: the questions people ask

What should I ask a private jet company before booking?

The total price line by line and what can change it; the operator's name, the aircraft's tail number and its operating certificate; any safety audit it holds; how your money is held; the deposit and the cancellation terms.

Can I book with these companies directly?

Yes. Each card links the company's own website or enquiry page; ask for a written quote that lists what the price includes and the cancellation terms.

Do these companies all sell the same thing?

No. Some arrange charter on other operators' aircraft, some fly their own fleet, some sell jet cards, memberships, fractional shares, empty legs or single seats. Each card says what the company sells, so compare the cards before you ask for quotes.

Who actually flies the aircraft when I book through a broker?

An operator that holds its own operating certificate (FAA Part 135 in the United States, an air operator certificate in Europe and the UK). Ask the company for the operator's name and certificate before you pay.

Which of these have the most Google reviews?

Atlantic Air Charter, P3 Jets and Hera Flight, in that order. A count says how many people reviewed a company, not whether it fits your trip; each card gives the rating and count, read 10 November 2026.

Which of these publish their cancellation terms?

9 of the 31: Elevate Jet, FXAIR, Hera Flight, JetNine, Linear Air, P3 Jets, Ravello Jets, ReserveJets and Tradewind Aviation. Ask each for the full terms in writing before you pay a deposit.

Which of these publish their licences or memberships?

23 of the 31 name an operating certificate, a licence or a membership on their own websites. Check each with the issuer before you book.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is in the Uncompromised Travel private jet charter table, built from the private jet companies ChatGPT names most often. On its own website it states whether US Federal Excise Tax is included in or added to its prices. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be on it.
