Luis Garcia founded The Jet Merchants on a core belief:
That every private flyer deserves an advocate, not just a vendor.

Luis serves as your constant—a dedicated advisor who sits on your side of the table to ensure Alignment, Transparency, and Trust.
Through the PRIVATE CLIENT engagement, you gain a true insider advantage:
- Wholesale Economics: Bypass retail markups to unlock charter flight savings of 15–40% while flying on the industry's top fleets.

Real Client. Real Stories. Real Savings.
A new client was referred by his Financial Advisor. Client was considering a 50 hour jet card on a super mid with a fractional provider. Reason: His friend told him that’s what he should do. During discovery, it was clear that 50% of the missions would be on a super mid and the rest on light and midsize jets. The client had little experience flying private and wanted to try out different models and fleet types. Buying a non-refundable jet card on one plane size did not make sense based on these factors. Client enrolled in PRIVATE CLIENT with $250K Deposit. His first trip was a supermid request from Montana to New York City for 8 people. The Jet Card he was considering purchasing would have charged him $70K for this flight. Instead, we provided a 12 seat Gulfstream G450, large cabin jet, for $28k all inclusive with guaranteed backup aircraft for peace of mind.
First trip result: Cabin class upgrade and saved $42K. The service paid for itself on the first trip.
Seeking a change from his troubled nationwide light-jet membership, a client tried PRIVATE CLIENT for four specific trips with a $100K deposit. We delivered midsize jet upgrades on every flight, saving him an average of $6,000 per trip! He's now a loyal PRIVATE CLIENT, flying better, for less.
$6K/Flight Savings, Instant Upgrades. The PRIVATE CLIENT Conversion.
This client was considering a $500K fixed-rate jet card with high daily minimums for his regular New Orleans to Houston route. Instead, he chose PRIVATE CLIENT with a $250K deposit. Now, with just two days' notice, he consistently flies midsize jets for 35% less on every trip! He trusts us to select the perfect aircraft and values the time and money saved, knowing we're his dedicated advocate.
35% Savings & Midsize Upgrades on Every Trip.
