Ready, Set, Jet!
Don't have your own Gulfstream IV-SP? Do what local jetless swells and athletes such as ex-Giant Joe Morgan and Rod Woodson of the Raiders do: Purchase the Marquis Private Jet Card and wave sayonara to long lines at SFO. The card gives you 25 hours of air time on a fleet of over 500 planes and 2,300 pilots. Good for one year, it starts at $109,000 for a Citation V Ultra plane and goes up to $299,900 for a Gulfstream IV-SP, with no charge for waiting time on the runway. This translates to approximately $4,300 and $12,000, respectively, for each hour of flight time. With VIP access to thousands of airports in North America, Europe, and beyond, cardholders have the jets at their disposal 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with only one requirement: that they give the crew ten hours' notice before takeoff.
