Short hop: minimums decide the bill. At about 1h 10m a leg, a program may bill more time than you fly. Published minimums run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, and some programs bill per day; these figures are flight time × rate, before any minimum.
The rate is a published maximum; trips may price lower. Rates at the entry purchase level as published, checked October 2, 2026; bigger purchases can lower them. Vault Aviation's terms: MAX Jet Card rates are maximums that include the 7.5% tax; trips often price lower. No blackout dates, peak surcharges or membership fees, and the balance is refundable and never expires.
