International Private Jet Travel
Can I fly internationally with the Delta Private Jets Card?
Yes, the Delta Private Jets Card provides service both inside and outside of U.S. borders. Cardholders may fly within the continental United States and 225 miles off of those borders at their standard rate. In the event that a Cardholder wishes to fly further than 225 miles beyond the U.S. borders, Delta Private Jets will guarantee aircraft availability; however flights will be billed at the applicable international hourly rate for the aircraft selected by the Cardholder.
Are there international fees when traveling to destinations outside the United States?
Trips that arrive at or depart to locations outside of the United States are subject to international fees instead of U.S. Federal Excise Tax (FET). Because FET is already in the hourly cost the dollar amount of FET will be applied toward any international fees that are being charged by the foreign government. In most cases however, the amount being charged for FET in the hourly rate does not cover the international fees. The remaining balance of the international fees will be deducted from the Cardholder’s deposit.
