OMW! Thank you for wasting your money on this exercise so others won't have to. You were reluctant to use a word that most on here are using because I know than they can sue you. Let's just put it this way. if they refunded the $1500 for the top of the list nonsense and the holding deposit on the flight you were told was cancelled then I'd just say they were dodgy dealers. If (as I, and others, suspect) you didn't get a refund them they're clearly SCAMMERS. YES! it's a scam through and through.
And the best bit is these scammers had no idea who you were. Clearly viewed you as just another avgeek easily parted with their money. Seriously though there must be a way this can be stopped.
The loo review though was absolutely priceless though, pure comedy gold.

That's why it's better to book a taxi rather than an Uber. They're actually guaranteed to turn up. At least in my experience, maybe that only applies to where I live, but here Uber are definitely not as reliable as the taxis.
Also, this service seems like a pain to use. It's more convenient to just use a normal flight if you wanna go anywhere. It's really not worth the effort.
Why even bother if it's only a 4 minute flight Why do they even offer such a flight as an option I swear this seems like such a total scam. I mean at least you got to fly on a private jet, so it's not a complete scam I guess, just 98% of a scam.

Not sure how many videos and shorts that circular on social media saying flying privat Jet is the best. BUT.
You need to go from/to small airports normally, if you are lucky they are closer to city center, but in some cases not so much
When flying first or business there are extensive lounges with great food and drinks - not so much on these airports
Private jet dining options yea, do they have great lavatories huh not really How about showers haha very funny.
I have been upgraded to first on a number of times, last time I paid $1500 for my J ticket and got upgraded to F - No private jet will beat that.

I’ve seen videos about the HondaJet and it seems a brilliant design. I’d love to take a flight on one, but a proper flight. I assume that the bumpy ride on the ground is from tiny wheels but then wouldn’t any small airplane have that problem Did Honda mess that up The position of the engines seems a very clever solution to problems with noise and cabin space
I got to ride on a Learjet a few years ago, but it was an air ambulance and I was accompanying a very sick relative. About a 1000-mile flight.

I would say that it is a scam. The fact that you pay a thousand dollars to be part of this and then you have to pay another thousand dollars just to gibe you number one in line but then it all comes crashing down on you. As well you then do get a flight then once you think that you got your flight you have to pay five hundred dollars more on top of that shore has scam written all over it.

there is another company who does this. I can't remember the name of them but they basically offer open seats on private jets that are transferring between two locations. sometimes businesses need a flight from say Vancouver but their plane is in Las Vegas. so they will sell the seats on the flight that they need to make anyways instead of it sitting empty for the Vegas to Vancouver transfer

The other night I had a dream where I was in a formal debate with Spongebob. The moderator was throwing some real hardball questions at me, and as I was umming and ahhing, suddenly there was a Noel Philips loo review. I'm not sure who won the debate in the end, but either way it's pretty cool that Noel takes up the same space in my brain as Spongebob Squarepants.

This is the quintessential American Ponzi scheme! You ask for an initial investment and promise a major return. So, for $1'000 you get unlimited flights on a private jet for a whole year. Then, there are the fine prints that conditions apply on conditions and if you would like to increase your chances, then all you have to do is invest more money.

It's 100% a scam, and the last minute cancellation is all part of it. legally they are probably covered as you technically did take a flight! I suspect that's what they do to everyone, and make a pretty penny from it. curious hear from other app user experiences. TBH I can't believe how easy you are going on them! don't be a mug.

That is absolutely a scam. If it is nigh on impossible to access the services they offer, then it's a scam. The whole structure of those extra payments is also a scam. Did they refund your security deposit after they cancelled that flight Their terms of service give them latitude to basically mess you around with impunity.

I just want to say you’ve been Scammed , if this isn’t a scam then I dont what is! This is just a Time Share Scam in the sky. Think about it, a legitimate company would be up front with a customer. The worst part besides being scammed out of thounds of dollars for months was a 14 minute flight to NOWHERE.

$500 deposit Their website says, Once you are offered the flight you have 2 hours to confirm the flight, otherwise it is offered to the next in line on the waitlist. There is no additional cost to fly. Yep, that's right. There are no additional per-flight or booking fees for you or your passengers.

TY for content. America and it's myriad of bad faith airline operators are so corrupted and their is little hope of it ever being fixed, particularly when these companies base out of rogue states with little or no oversight due to bribed state politicians. Sad state of affairs.

Towards the end of the video, you were mentioning that FlyExclusice purchased Volato. You probably didnt realize that you were standing in front of one of FlyExclusives jets at that moment. (N890JS, JS is how their fleet registrations end.

I flew a private jet owned by our company for 23 years throughout North America! This appears to me a major scam! When our plane had down time from us - we did allow private individuals to book flights with our aircraft with much screening!

Vaunt IS 100% SCAM! Scamsville scammer. It's almost like queuing up for a hot air balloon flight and not being sure your going to get on it! The responder on the phone from Vaunt almost sounds like one of those Indian Call Centre Scammers!
