A reserve relationship, not a fixed program.
Members begin with a Reserve Account sized to expected annual flying. With this foundation, each mission is sourced, priced, and supported by a dedicated team that ensures the aircraft and logistics perfectly match the specific requirements of the day
A better fit for people who fly often.
StraightLine is built for members whose annual private aviation spend is already meaningful; enough flight activity for aircraft fit, preference memory, pricing judgment, and recovery planning to compound.
Bank
Establish the account
The Reserve Account puts the relationship in place before the request arrives. It reduces payment friction and gives the team room to move when the right aircraft is available or the day changes.
Source mission by mission
No fixed fleet, no fixed category, no forcing different trips into the same answer. We evaluate the live market around the route, passengers, timing, and aircraft fit.
Let the relationship improve
The team learns your routes, passengers, communication cadence, catering, pets, gear, and service preferences so each request starts with context.
The reserve should match how you fly.
The Reserve Account is a working balance, not a membership fee. We size it around expected flight activity, with room for seasonality, urgent trips, multiple travelers, and less payment friction.

Best-fit threshold
$100K+ annual flying
Where the approach usually starts to make sense: recurring use, enough trip variety, and enough repetition for advisory value to build.
Reserve Account
$100K-$250K
For active individuals, couples, and families with repeat routes, seasonal travel, and meaningful travel requirements.
Expanded Reserve
$250K-$500K
For households or executives with more frequent movement, more companions, more gear, or more than one trip being planned at a time. Better fit for those with an affinity for larger equipment.
Inner Circle
$500K+ annual flying
For active families, family offices, or companies with complex coordination, multiple travelers. Ideal for those with significant annual private aviation activity and a requirement of larger equipment.
These are account contexts, not artificial perk tiers. The right reserve is set with the membership team around expected use and account complexity.
Once active, the requests stay simple.
The relationship carries the context.

Different by design.
| Straightline | Fractional | Jet Cards | Trip Brokers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aircraft fit | Mission-matched aircraft – turboprops and owned assets including modern large cabin aircraft | Aircraft tied to ownership category | Fixed category tied to card terms | Inconsistent – often tired planes due to access |
| Service model | A dedicated team that knows you and your companions | Program support model varies | Program support model varies | Transactional – 1099 sales focused contractors |
| Mechanical disruption | Mechanical disruption support through Charter Flight Support and AIH | Fleet and contract terms guide recovery | Subject to fleet availability | Varies by broker and operator |
| Pricing structure | Variable per mission, priced to the trip, access to empty legs and capped hourly rates with owned assets to protect strong value | Asset purchase, hourly rates, fuel charges, and monthly management fees | Fixed terms set to the benefit of company not card holder | Per-flight quote |
| Transparency | Clear upfront details - opt-in/out before each flight - no surprises | Invoiced after trips, need to amortize fixed costs – opaque | Invoiced after trip – fuel, holiday, and international surcharges added | Depends on the broker relationship |
| Commitment | No long-term commitment, no expiration or annual dues | Complex multi-year commitment | Terms locked for 12-24 months | No ongoing relationship unless established |
Descriptions reflect common patterns; specific terms vary by provider. We are glad to compare any existing card, fractional, or broker relationship.
