As far as College Football Playoffs go, the party doesn’t get any bigger than the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
New Orleans is already a lively, fun-loving city, but when you jam 70,000 college football fanatics into the Mercedez-Benz Superdome, you’re guaranteed a great time.
Along with the Orange Bowl and Sun Bowl, the Sugar Bowl is the second-oldest bowl game in the country behind the Rose Bowl. Played annually since 1935, it’s a member of the College Football Playoff. Following a new playoff format established in 2015, the Sugar Bowl will be in a three-year rotation to host a semifinal with five other bowl games, including the:
When travelling to a city dubbed ‘The Big Easy,’ chartering a plane that allows you to arrive in luxurious style only makes sense.
Regardless of which teams meet at the Superdome, the atmosphere is always electrifying and Stratos Jets will get you there in the style you’re accustomed to by chartering a plane that meets your precise needs.
The bulk of air traffic arrives in New Orleans through Louis Armstrong International (MSY), but people chartering a plane have a more convenient option: New Orleans Lakefront (NEW). That’s one of the many perks when you fly privately on a charter jet: you have access to a wider range of airports, meaning you can:
Once you arrive at Lakefront airport, visitors have the option of travelling around town quickly and conveniently with a pre-arranged driver and car through Stratos’ Trip Support Team.
Every charter flight review on this page was submitted by a real Stratos Jets customer. In the interest of transparency, we never change reviews or use incentives to influence these reviews. This way, you can hear directly from our past and current clients about how we handled their private travel experience.

Joel & His team are incredible! After many charters with Stratos they continue to impress. Joel personally met us at the aircraft, a beautiful Challenger, and ensured everything was perfect. The crew and plane were perfect and it was a perfect way to end our vacation. His crew always keeps our family's concerns first & foremost. Thank you again Stratos!

I must travel regularly to India yearly for my business.
I wonder if your company alo cares about these people? Is it possible to use your services for this business travel? Can you advise me to a NY company that is more suitable to my needs. I answered your questionnaire.
I look forward to your advice, & to learn how much your co. Is concerned with the plight of these people's?

As always, your staff is a pleasure to work with, and are very good with their communication, etc. I (of course) wish we didn't have the snafu with your client cutting the trip short, only to change his mind - costing us an additional 3 hours of flight time (approx. $10,000) - since we cancelled a trip with another operator to accommodate his request to leave early. I think there should have been a consideration for a 2 hour cancellation fee or something there. We understand that this wasn't Stratos Jets' doing - but I believe your client should have been penalized in some way as he was informed we had another trip and he told us to cancel it to accommodate him. This was very disappointing (and financially detrimental) for us, especially as we had lowered the cost of the trip (in addition to removing all minimums) prior to booking. The only way it made sense for us to do that was to fly while sitting transient.

The process however did go well and the equipment and person arrived on time and the entire process was handled by Will Buckley in a very professional manner and was extremely helpful in making this adventure easy and convenient. He was great to work with and if the occasion should arise to use charter services again, we will contact you. thanks again

For as spectacular as our inbound flight was, this topped that. Best ever from the equipment, to the crew, to the amenities in the plane that included an individual tv for each seat. The flight attendant asked if we had any catered food for the flight and we said no as we all had a nice breakfast prior to departing. Not sure this was part of the normal service but she served us cheese and salami, chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches, and even baked us hot chocolate chip cookies. Amazing experience. I would fly them every time! Can't beat the price for what we got. Great job arranging them Anthony! Really appreciate your flight updates on the status of the plane the day of our travel!

Everything from the planning, scheduling and coordination was seamless and went off smooth and in time. The pilots were so kind and gracious with my parents and made the 1.5 hour flight enjoyable.

Seems to be an industry thing about competitive pricing in order to obtain the best price. Yes I would recommend Stratos.

Our friendly, expert air charter agents are here to answer questions or start your quote today. Don`t wait, call right now and we can get you on your way to the destination of your choice! Talk to one of our air chater argents now by calling (888) 593-9066 or by emailing [email protected]
How do I choose the right aircraft for my mission?
As charter brokers, we do more than simply book your charter flight. At Stratos Jets, our air charter associates are highly trained personnel capable of matching our clients with the appropriate aircraft for their travel needs. Once we determine how many passengers you’re travelling with and how far you’re flying, we can determine which category of aircraft you require. There are many options available. The most common aircrafts hired for private charters include:
Cessna’s Citation X
Gulfstream’s G650
Bombardier’s Global line
After that, we can help you narrow down the selection of recommended aircraft based on budget, desired cabin amenities, airport requirements, luggage capacity, as well as aircraft age and performance capabilities.
Staying Safe in the Skies
At Stratos Jets, air charter safety is our number one concern. One of our key policies is to increase consumer education. This ensures our clients are able to make informed decisions. We also work with our aircraft providers to ensure their safety training programs meet and even exceed our air charter safety requirements. To make this happen, Stratos Jets is an ARGUS Certified Broker. This means that our brokerage firm is:
Committed to the best industry practices
Adhering to all applicable safety regulations
Maintaining the appropriate insurance coverage required
Are there additional costs per private jet rental passenger?
There are no additional costs per passenger. At Stratos Jet Charters, we base our private jet rental prices per hour, not per guest.
The Stratos Pricing Estimator
If you would like to estimate the cost of a private jet charter, use our Stratos pricing estimator page. It lists the most common estimates based on destination and aircraft type. And you can always enter customized data to get an estimate for a specific destination.
Additional Concierge Charges
We do charge for some of our additional concierge services, such as in-flight catering and entertainment, hotel bookings and ground transportation. We know our clients’ time is precious, so we offer the value and convenience of “one-stop-shopping” through our Trip Support team. When you book a flight with Stratos Jet Charters, we can take care of all the logistics, including booking hotels, meeting spaces, limousines and tickets to special events. That way you can relax, and enjoy your trip.
Empty Leg Charters
Also, since we charge per hour, not per passenger, there are travel bargains to be found with our Empty Leg Flights. Many of our private jet rental flights are one-way, and then we need to move the aircraft to a new destination. To reduce the costs of flying an empty aircraft, we offer discounts to travelers with flexible itineraries. Clever passengers will sometimes split the cost with their fellow travelers, thereby reducing the cost for everyone on the flight.
Can I make last-minute changes to my itinerary?
If your plans need to change, we will do everything in our power to accommodate the changes. One of the benefits of hiring Stratos Jet Charters is that we have much more flexibility than commercial airlines and can provide many more air charter services.
We have two teams that can help you. Here is a brief description of each:
Charter Sales Agents
This is the initial contact team. They evaluate your travel needs to identify the appropriate aircraft type for your travel plan. Pricing is determined by aircraft availability, its position related to the intended departure location and the position of where the aircraft needs to be after performing the customer’s flight.
Trip Support Team
Once the aircraft has been selected, Trip Support works with the customer, the air carrier and all concierge service providers to organize all of the travel details. Trip Support is responsible for coordinating:
Departure time
Departure and arrival at the Fixed Base departure location
Ensuring assigned crew members meet Stratos experience requirements
Making sure the insurance is current and everyone is protected
Coordinating all concierge services
In reference to last-minute itinerary changes, any changes would go through the Trip Support Team.
Our customers often have demanding flight itineraries that can change quickly. They’ve come to appreciate knowing there’s an entire team of people focused on organizing all the details of their trip. Stratos Jet Charters wants to provide our clients with consistently outstanding air charter service and an impeccable safety record.
