Fly Vaunt

I truly believe that the negative reviews and feedback for this app are from people who don’t understand the concept. I recently flew on a flight operated by Fly exclusive with Vaunt. No I was not paid to leave this review. Nobody asked me to leave this review. I flew on a CJ3 after winning the waitlist. You have to understand the point of this app. It’s opening up empty legs. These sort of flights come with last-minute notices due to repositioning being determined a few days before scheduled departures I really enjoy my experience and I look forward to the next flight I’m going to take. (edit) since my last review I have taken two additional flights all on the fly exclusive fleet. Since writing my initial posts waitlists now close 12 hours prior to departure and flight volume has increased significantly especially in the last few days. Amazing experiences. (Edit edit) since my last edit they have integrated a few more operators. One of which is beneficial to me on the east coast, JetVia with Lear 60’s. They are super reliable with not canceling and even got an amply leg from OPF-HPN. Wild

About a year ago I bit the bullet and paid for a 2 year membership to Vaunt hoping to get a ride on a private jet. It’s kind of the luck of the draw to get one convenient enough, but then as with everything too good to be true, flights get cancelled or rerouted. On my 5th try, and 2nd awarded flight (first was cancelled), I finally had the opportunity to fly. We were assigned a 6 seat Lear Jet, and I have to say it was the best experience flying in my life—and I’ve flown probably a million miles commercially. The vaunt experience does work, but it’s a bit of a gamble, and a bit of patience. I’ll do a full video review later, but the app is good and getting better. Now I’m part of an elite club that can say stuff like I flew to KC to get BBQ on a Private Jet for the day and flew home later that night. Total spent was a fraction of what a real private jet costs. But to make it worth it, ask them how many flights leave from your local area!

I bought this membership two days ago then got on a waitlist for a flight, when the flight time came it was cancelled. Then joined another waitlist & got bumped twice and the only way I could get in first position is to pay $995. Can no longer reach my salesperson he’s gone radio silent and I had to track down a number for Volota to get a call. Also left messages on social media finally had someone named “Tim” call back his reply was so bland and he conveyed that I was oversold & under delivered by the rep. I got a refund because I’m not paying a membership fee to keep paying again to be in position for the flight. In addition if you are a new member you get bumped by existing members that are recruiting more members so once this thing gets going the only way to actually fly will be to pay the fee that you are only allowed to pay once a year. So it will be good in the beginning but unless you are referring or held your membership you can probably fly once a year if you live in a city with a lot of members. This program will ultimately end up breaking and the only people that will lose are the new members like a pyramid scheme.
