Set Jet returns to Scottsdale Airport with private flights

Set Jet, a membership-based private jet charter company with direct flights to the West Coast, will take its first flight out of Scottsdale Sunday, Dec. 15.
Set Jet will offer direct flights to Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas as well as seasonal flights to Aspen, Colorado and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, according to a press release. Set Jet utilizes the Bombardier Challenger 850/CRJ 200 luxury aircraft with 13- to 15-seat ultra-VIP cabin configurations.
“There are many organizations that have tried, in their own way, to provide what Set Jet provides. But Set Jet has truly cracked the code and we are excited to provide an unparalleled, five-star aviation experience to all of our members,” Set Jet CEO Tom Smith said in a prepared statement. “We are changing the way people will travel forever.”
Set Jet serves to bridge the gap between flying private and flying commercial; hoping to make the experience of owning and flying one¹s own private jet available to the masses; and offers jet owners a more economical option. This club is limited to just a few thousand members and offers exclusive amenities.
Set Jet’s business model allows its members who are early planners to schedule or book flights and have the opportunity to select their chosen time of departure and destination city.
Then all other like-minded members who wish to travel to the same destination can join the flight or buy a seat up to 30 minutes prior to departure.
Set Jet utilizes private and non-congested VIP terminals so members can avoid the perceived inconveniences of commercial air travel such as advance notice for booking flights, premiums for last-minute travel, security delays, check-in requirements and parking expenses.
Set Jet has also partnered with five-star restaurants, resorts, luxury brands and other service providers such as rental car companies and car manufacturers that provide ancillary benefits to its members.
Initially launched in Scottsdale in 2012, the Set Jet concept then expanded into other markets including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and Las Vegas.
Due to support and demand from the local market, the company is once again taking memberships in Scottsdale and has recently completed its headquarters, private VIP terminal and member lounge at the Scottsdale Airport. Set Jet is scheduled to commence flight service in Scottsdale this December.
