For those who like their travel with a side of luxury, the FlyHouse app allows you to book your own private jet in just seconds.
Typically, the route to chartering a private jet isn’t exactly speedy.
Those hoping to book would traditionally have to go through charter brokers and other middlemen to get themselves a private jet.
However, the FlyHouse app has removed all of that, meaning you can charter a private jet in less time than it takes to order a cup of coffee.

FlyHouse allows you to speedily book a private jet via a handy app
Many of the world’s richest are lucky enough to own their own private jet, like F1 star Max Verstappen or Jeff Bezos, who owns an entire fleet.
But for those who don’t want to commit to buying their own $40 million private jet, there’s always the option to hire one.
And, FlyHouse is making that easier than ever with its smart app, which makes booking a private jet as simple as ordering a pizza.
The app connects owners, operators, and travelers to create a streamlined process that allows bookers to compare aircraft, review quotes, and then book in as little as 30 seconds.
Late last year, FlyHouse introduced its FriendShare feature to the app, which allows you to build custom groups to organize flights between friends, family, or business associates.
“This isn’t about selling seats — it’s about creating accessible, shared experiences,” FlyHouse CEO Jack E. Lambert said.
“With FriendShare, FlyHouse is redefining private aviation as a way to connect people. We’re bringing clarity, community, and flexibility to an industry that has often felt impersonal. This is shared luxury, reimagined—not about the transaction, but about the memories made along the way.”
The smart feature means that within a couple of clicks, you can invite a group of pals onto a trip and then book a private jet to get you there.
It’ll also automatically allow you to share the cost between those who are going.

How much does it cost to book?
The FlyHouse app uses a reverse auction method to match flyers with plane owners.
So, the booker specifies which type of aircraft they’d like to charter and how much they’re hoping to pay.
The app will then notify private jet owners who have a matching plane, and a reverse auction kicks off, with responsive bids provided by owners at five-minute intervals.
After 15 minutes, the auction ends, and the booker is sent a charter quote, which includes both the lowest responsive bid and alternative best prices offered for each available class of aircraft for the requested flight, as well as alternative aircraft options.
The booker can then choose to accept or launch a new bid.
The cost depends on a bunch of different factors, including the type of aircraft requested, where you’re flying from and two, and flight times, but FlyHouse says that you can typically expect to pay between $3,000 – $12,000+ per in-flight hour.
