Tailored Jet Charter Services in Corona
Booking Your Flight with Ease

Personalizing Your Journey from Corona, CA
Special Requests and Accommodations
Tell BLADE about luggage, sports equipment, pets and catering when you book. They affect which aircraft fits and what needs to be arranged before departure.
Ensuring Privacy and Security
You travel only with the people you invite. Security steps depend on the aircraft and the operation. Many private charters board without the passenger checkpoint you see at an airline terminal. Private charters that board from a sterile area of an airport, or that use very large aircraft, do require screening. Your operator will tell you what applies.
Choosing a safe operator
Charter flights for hire in the United States are flown under FAA Part 135, which sets minimum experience for the pilot in command and limits crew flight time. Independent auditors also rate operators: ARGUS ratings are Gold Certified, Platinum and Platinum Elite, and Wyvern's ratings are Wingman and Wingman PRO. A charter broker must tell you, before you sign, which direct air carrier has operational control of your flight.
Managing the cost
Charter is priced per trip, not per seat. Distance, aircraft type, the date and extras drive the price. If you will not fill the aircraft, you can crowdsource the flight: BLADE sells your unused seats in the BLADE app, and sold seats are credited back to you as BLADE credits toward future flights.
A dedicated BLADE flier-relations advocate manages and monitors your trip and is available 24/7. You can also call BLADE Flier Relations at +1 844-359-2523.
