Regarding the Engagement Fee for Private Jet Arrangements
From the outside, arranging a private jet might seem like a simple process of making an inquiry, receiving a quote, and confirming a booking.
In reality, however, a great deal of confirmation and coordination is happening simultaneously behind the scenes.
Private jet arrangements may appear simple from the outside: make an inquiry, receive a quotation, and confirm the booking.
In reality, however, each request involves multiple layers of coordination happening behind the scenes.
For example, in addition to the route, preferred date and time, number of passengers, and luggage details, there are many factors to check, such as airport conditions, operational feasibility, aircraft compatibility, congestion, and the availability of each operator.
Especially for international flights or short-notice requests, both speed and accuracy are required.
For example, beyond the route, preferred schedule, number of passengers, and luggage details, there are many other factors to check, including airport restrictions, operational feasibility, aircraft suitability, traffic conditions, and each operator’s availability.
This becomes especially important for international itineraries and urgent requests, where both speed and accuracy are essential.
Therefore, at Concierge Japan & Co., we clearly distinguish between the initial consultation stage and the stage where we begin taking external action.
For this reason, Concierge Japan & Co. clearly separates the initial consultation stage from the stage where formal external coordination begins.
Initial inquiries are handled free of charge.
The Initial Inquiry Stage Is Complimentary
During the initial consultation, we provide the following services free of charge.
At the initial inquiry stage, we are happy to provide the following at no charge.
Hearing your requirements
Preliminary feasibility assessment
Guidance on estimated price ranges
Explanation of important considerations
Hearing your requested itinerary and requirements
Preliminary feasibility review
A rough price range
General guidance on important considerations
At this stage, we have not yet entered into formal quotation acquisition or specific arrangement tasks.
This is strictly for organizing your requests and determining the direction for realization.
At this stage, we have not yet moved into formal quotation requests or actual arrangement work.
The purpose is to understand the client’s needs and determine the overall feasibility and direction of the request.
When the Engagement Fee Applies
When the Engagement Fee Applies
On the other hand, we charge an engagement fee when we proceed to practical tasks involving external parties, such as making formal inquiries to operators, obtaining specific quotes, proposing aircraft comparisons, confirming operational conditions, and placing tentative holds.
Once we move into formal operator inquiries, detailed quotation requests, aircraft comparisons, operational checks, and tentative holds, an engagement fee applies.
This is not merely a 'booking deposit,' but a fee to begin the practical work that requires time and effort for each case.
In other words, please consider this the point where formal arrangement preparations begin, rather than an extension of a free consultation.
This is not simply a booking deposit.
Rather, it is a fee for commencing the actual professional work required to move the request forward.
In other words, it marks the point where the matter shifts from a complimentary consultation to formal arrangement preparation.
