Magellan Jets

Magellan Jets has put together a specially-curated "gift box" for this holiday season.

Lucky recipients of the gift box will receive:

  • 10 hour Challenger 300 card
  • Bottle of The MacAllan 25 single malt scotch
  • Breitling Aviator 8 Curtiss Warhaw watch
  • Master & Dynamic custom active noise-cancelling wireless over-ear headphones.

The flight card allows you to book flight time on the super-midsize Challenger 300 with as little as 8 hours’ notice. There are no black out days and no extra surcharges for flying at peak times.

Pricing for this luxury gift starts at $110,000. The gift box can be ordered before Christmas and the flight card hours are valid until Christmas 2020. The Holiday Gift Box may be bought online or by calling 877-597-4095. Jet cards from Magellan are normally in 25 hour increments, so you can think of it as a way to try them out, or maybe just have 10 hours on a super-mid if you only need the 3,100 mile range or 8 seats on a few occasions.

JetSuite

JetSuite has a special offer this winter for both current JetSuite clients and new jet card members. Clients receive VIP treatment at Aspen with a "JetSuite Experiences" trip. Fly to Aspen on one of JetSuite’s Embraer aircraft and enjoy private sessions on some of the world’s best ski slopes before they open to the public. A private helicopter will transport you to the trailheads if you don’t want to take the ski lift. Then you can ski on untouched powder on trails that were designed in the 1940s and have made Aspen a coveted destination for skiers ever since.

Accommodation is at The Little Nell’s Paepcke Suite - a 2,500 square foot home with heated marble walls and flooring, wool carpeting, gas log fireplaces, and a private balcony with sweeping mountain views, not to mention an impressive collection of fine art.

SuiteKey is the name of JetSuite's membership program with fixed hourly rates and 48 hours notice periods. JetSuite is offering new SuiteKey Members up to two additional flight hours. This holiday promotion is valid for all new clients that become a SuiteKey Member by December 31st.
