Private jet company NetJets' new private members club "10" allows a limited number of our readers to take advantage of owning their very own private jet.

From December until April, high-flyers can take to the skies with a short-term commitment of just ten hours. For just GBP 35,000, a maximum of 100 NetJets "10" members can fly to countless destinations across Europe, and will only pay for hours actually in the air.

With bonus season here and Christmas just around the corner, NetJets believes "10" is the perfect, affordable, low-commitment introduction to private air travel. Offering all the benefits of guaranteed availability, speed, privacy, and security for just over GBP 35,000, NetJets "10" means private jets are no longer the preserve of the super-rich and famous.

Customers will be able to fly, with just 48 hours notice, from any airport in Europe, to over 1,000 destinations across the continent. NetJets offers the flexibility of flying to exclusive airports just minutes from desirable destinations; whereas flights into the main commercial airports often entail lengthy transfers.

Private jet travel also means that passengers can avoid all the hassle of commercial airlines, with elongated check-in periods, and long waits for baggage to be retrieved, saving precious time. A door to door trip from the City of London to the prestigious Georges V hotel in Paris takes just over an hour and a half by NetJets, compared to over four and a half hours by Eurostar; and NetJets "10" holders could be strolling down Rome's Spanish Steps just three and a half hours after leaving their desks in London, compared to nearly six and a half hours on a commercial flight.

NetJets is the world's leading private jet operator and the pioneer of fractional jet ownership. The European fleet alone numbers 81 aircraft. NetJets' scale allows it to guarantee availability for all its customers even on the busiest days of the year.

"NetJets '10' offers access to the most exclusive and desirable way of travelling - your very own private jet," says Mark Booth, Chief Executive of NetJets Europe. "For just GBP 35,000 customers can enjoy all the benefits of efficient, dependable and luxurious travel without any long term commitment."
