3 PM, Shanghai Pudong FBO.
🏔️ You step off the private jet onto the jet bridge. Your advisor is already waiting at the exit, handing you a cup of warm Longjing tea. 'This flight used the 3rd trip on your card — 7 remaining.'
🍾 Your trip card is a 10-trip card. No time limits, no route restrictions, no aircraft restrictions — each trip deducts 1, until used up.
👔 You glance at the iFlyPlus App on your phone — trip card balance, flight history, next available schedule, all at a glance.
A trip card isn't prepaid consumption — it's a certainty asset for flexible travel.
What Is a Private Jet Trip Card?
A Trip Card is a flexible plan designed by iFlyPlus for clients who travel occasionally but don't want to re-quote every time. Purchase a fixed number of trips, each use deducts 1, no time limits, no route restrictions.
| Dimension | Trip Card | Hourly Card | Annual Membership |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billing | Per-trip deduction | Per-hour deduction | Annual fee + flight fees separate |
| Flexibility | Highest (no route/aircraft limits) | High (per-hour) | High (requires booking) |
| Validity | 12 months | Permanently valid | 12 months |
| Asset nature | Consumptive | Permanent accumulation, transferable and inheritable | Annual fee, non-accumulating |
| Ideal for | 3-8 flights/year | 15-50 flight hours/year | 4+ flights/year, circle seekers |
| Price range | ¥150K-800K/10 trips | ¥500K-3M | ¥28,888-¥10,000,000+ |
Trip card's core value: locking uncertain travel needs at a certain price.
How to Use a Trip Card? 3 Usage Modes
Mode 1: Per-Trip (Most Common)
Each trip deducts 1, no route or aircraft restrictions. Ideal for business travelers with regular schedules but varying destinations.
- Shanghai → Beijing (1 trip)
- Shanghai → Sanya (1 trip)
- Shanghai → Tokyo (1 trip)
- 7 remaining
Mode 2: Per-Route (Fixed Routes)
Some trip cards support fixed-route mode — e.g., 'Shanghai-Beijing 5-trip card' — at lower prices than universal trip cards. Ideal for commuters with weekly fixed routes.
Mode 3: Per-Hour (Hybrid Mode)
Some trip cards support hourly deduction — short trips deduct 1, long trips deduct 2. Flexibility between universal trip cards and hourly cards.
Trip Card vs Hourly Card: How to Choose?
| Scenario | Recommendation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 3-8 flights/year, varying destinations | Trip card | Highest flexibility, per-trip deduction |
| 15-50 flight hours/year, regular routes | Hourly card | Per-hour deduction, long-term compounding |
| 4+ flights/year, circle seekers | Annual membership | Circle benefits + member pricing |
| Occasional travel (< 3 times/year) | Single charter | Most flexible, no prepayment |
| Multi-member family sharing | Hourly card (family tier) | Permanent accumulation, transferable and inheritable |
Selection logic: Fixed trips → Trip card; Fixed hours → Hourly card; Circle seekers → Annual. All three can stack.

Member Cases: Three Real Trip Card Stories
Case 1: Mr. Zhao · Weekly Shanghai-Beijing
Mr. Zhao is a law firm partner, flying Shanghai-Beijing 1-2 times weekly. He purchased a 10-trip universal card — no aircraft restrictions, flying Cessna Citation XLS+ each time.
'The trip card saves me from re-quoting and re-processing every time. One call, and my advisor handles everything.'
Case 2: Mrs. Li · Quarterly Family Trips
Mrs. Li takes her family traveling once per quarter — spring cherry blossoms in Kyoto, summer European vacation, autumn Karuizawa maple viewing, winter Hokkaido skiing. She purchased a 4-trip seasonal card.
'Once per quarter, used up perfectly. No worries — my advisor locks in the schedule in advance.'
Case 3: An Executive · Flexible Travel
