Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the Pet Jets ™ & Made to Jetset Inc Consulting Frequently Asked Questions section — a resource designed to help clients better understand private aviation, pet-friendly travel, shared charter opportunities, consulting services, and the realities of traveling privately with every member of the family
General Questions
Can you provide me with a quote for my project?
“How Much Is This Going to Cost?”
One of the most common things we hear is:
“Just give me a ballpark — I won’t hold you to it.”
The reality is that private aviation pricing is not fixed pricing. Aircraft availability, routing, repositioning costs, timing, fuel prices, airport fees, pet requirements, international handling, and market demand can dramatically affect pricing — sometimes within hours.
Because of this, generic “ballpark” pricing is often unrealistic and may create inaccurate expectations about what is operationally possible or financially realistic.
As a consulting-led company, Made to Jetset, Inc. Consulting and Pet Jets™ generally do not provide formal charter quotes, extensive routing research, or detailed flight evaluations until a client has completed onboarding and officially engaged our consulting services.
Our time, industry relationships, aviation knowledge, and consulting expertise are valuable. Rather than offering random estimates without context, our role is to help clients strategically evaluate the most appropriate travel solutions based on their individual priorities, timing, routing needs, and pet travel requirements.
This may include:
- Schedule priorities and flexibility
- Budget expectations
- Shared and mixed manifest flight opportunities
- Private charter options
- Aircraft suitability
- Domestic and international pet travel logistics
- Pet travel documentation and regulatory considerations
- VIP ground transportation coordination
Our goal is to help clients understand:
- What types of aircraft may be appropriate
- Whether shared-flight opportunities may exist
- How flexibility impacts pricing
- What operational limitations may apply
- Which solutions are realistic based on market conditions and availability

Why don’t we offer “by-the-seat” pricing?
How much does it cost to charter a pet friend aircraft?
Compared to scheduled commercial travel, private air charter can be expensive. However, for many clients — especially those relocating with pets — private aviation provides a valuable solution that saves time while allowing everyone to travel safely and comfortably together in the cabin.
Once you become a client, we generally suggest requesting an initial quote for your desired route so you can better understand the overall aircraft charter costs and available options. From there, we can discuss strategy and help determine your priorities, including:
✔ Schedule flexibility
✔ Overall budget
✔ Shared charter opportunities
✔ Preferred routing
✔ Aircraft size and comfort
✔ Pet travel requirements
Formal charter proposals may include:
✔ Suggested aircraft type
✔ Estimated flight time
✔ Hourly aircraft rates
✔ Landing and handling fees
✔ International fees and taxes
✔ Flight crew overnight expenses
✔ Aircraft cleaning and pet-related fees
✔ Additional operational costs required by the air carrier
As a consulting company, we help clients better understand the realities of private aviation pricing, routing, logistics, and pet-friendly travel planning so they can make informed decisions for every member of their family ✈️🐾

What is Pet Jets Travel Club? ™
Pet Jets Travel Club ™ was created in 2006 to assist clients interested in sharing private aircraft charter opportunities with our other compatible clients.
The Pet Jets Travel Club ™ is a consulting service provided by Made to Jetset Inc Consulting through our client onboarding process. One of the primary benefits of the program is the ability to potentially share charter costs with another party, which can significantly reduce the overall cost of private aviation while making flights more approachable and efficient.
As part of the program, we help market and coordinate potential shared travel opportunities through our website, email network, and social media channels in an effort to connect clients with similar routes, timing, and travel goals.
Once compatible parties are identified and agree on routing and scheduling, Pet Jets ™ assists in sourcing and coordinating the most suitable charter options available.

Does Pet Jets ™ provide shipping of pets?
Pet Jets ™ does not directly ship pets as cargo. However, we do provide consulting services for clients exploring both private aviation and commercial airline pet travel options.
In certain situations, it may be possible to arrange a private air charter for pets traveling without their owner. In these cases, a professional pet attendant or flight nanny would typically accompany the pet(s), which would involve additional coordination and fees.
We are also available to help advise clients on:
✔ Commercial airline pet policies
✔ In-cabin pet travel options
✔ International pet travel requirements
✔ Pet relocation planning
✔ Private charter solutions
✔ Shared charter opportunities
In situations where no other viable travel options are available, we may also be able to assist clients in exploring professional cargo transport solutions through trusted providers.
Please contact us for additional details and consulting options.

What are advantages to aircraft charter with your pets?
People and organizations charter aircraft because they are essentially modern-day time machines — providing access to thousands more airports worldwide than traditional commercial airlines serve.
Avoiding major airport congestion, long security lines, and crowded terminals creates a far less stressful travel experience for both people and their pets. Passengers and pets are typically pre-cleared for security, and in many cases clients can drive directly to the aircraft and board shortly after meeting their personal flight crew.
During the flight, pets remain safely and comfortably in cabin alongside their families. Upon arrival, ground transportation, customs coordination, and additional logistics can also be arranged to help clients continue quickly and smoothly to their new home or destination ✈️🐾
