Game Day Private Jets and Lightheaded Launch Limited-Time College Football Travel Package

$1,495 “Game Day Elevated” package combines private aviation access, a Lightheaded collegiate helmet, $500 in flight credit and $200 in Fanatics credit — more than $2,000 in total value HOUSTON — September 17, 2026 — Game Day Private Jets has teamed up with Lightheaded to launch a limited-time Game Day Elevated Package, combining private aviation, college football and premium fan experiences into a single $1,495 offering. The package provides more than $2,000 in total value and is designed for college football fans interested in experiencing the growing Game Day Private Jets travel platform while also taking home one of Lightheaded’s distinctive collegiate helmet designs. Each Game Day Elevated Package includes: One-year Game Day Private Jets membership, providing access to member benefits, private aviation opportunities, Game Day Shuttles, community features and preferred member pricing. $500 Game Day flight credit that can be applied toward eligible private charters and Game Day Shuttle purchases. One Lightheaded collegiate helmet, valued at $425 with shipping included, from an eligible participating school. $200 Fanatics merchandise credit. The package is available for $1,495 for a limited time. Link to purchase: https://elevated.flygameday.com/ Participating Lightheaded helmet designs include schools such as Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Army and Navy, with additional participating teams available. Game Day Private Jets was created around a different approach to sports travel: allowing fans, alumni, families, businesses and donors to access private aviation based around the events and experiences they already want to attend. Members can use the platform for individual private charters, explore opportunities to share aircraft with other members traveling similar routes, or purchase individual seats aboard select same-day Game Day Shuttle experiences. “College football is about much more than what happens during the four quarters of the game. It’s the travel, the traditions, the people you go with and the memories you bring home,” said Luis Garcia, Founder and CEO of Game Day Private Jets. “We wanted to create an offer that brought all of that together. For $1,495, someone can become a Game Day member, receive $500 toward actually flying with us, choose a Lightheaded helmet from an eligible school and receive another $200 to spend with Fanatics. It’s a pretty incredible way to introduce someone to the Game Day experience.” Garcia said the promotion also represents another way Game Day is seeking to introduce consumers to private aviation without requiring the substantial upfront commitments associated with many traditional private aviation programs. “There are a lot of people who are interested in flying private but aren’t looking to put $200,000 or more into a jet card,” Garcia added. “Our model allows them to start with the trips that matter to them — a football game, a golf weekend, a family trip or a business trip — and build from there.” The Game Day membership extends beyond college football. Members can access private aviation opportunities for business, family and leisure travel, as well as Game Day community groups, luxury travel opportunities, member offers and other experiences throughout the year. The Game Day Elevated Package is available for a limited time at the Game Day Elevated promotional website.

Game Day Private Jets Launches Game Day GUARANTEED, Bringing Fixed-Rate Private Charter Access to College Sports Fans

New program combines guaranteed access, upfront all-inclusive pricing and aircraft recovery — without the six-figure commitment of a traditional jet card HOUSTON, Texas — September 17, 2026 — Game Day Private Jets today announced the launch of Game Day GUARANTEED, a fixed-rate private charter offering designed to make private aviation simpler and more predictable for fans traveling to major college sporting events. Game Day GUARANTEED provides guaranteed aircraft access, guaranteed all-inclusive pricing and guaranteed aircraft recovery on select routes and games — offering many of the assurances associated with jet cards without requiring customers to place $200,000 or more on account before they fly. Travelers can visit the Game Day Travel Calendar to see select flights with the aircraft category and complete trip price published upfront. No hourly-rate calculations. No guessing what the final trip will cost. No six-figure deposit required. Paid Game Day Members receive priority access to new flight releases and can save approximately 10% to 15% on charter flights, depending on the trip and program. The Best of On-Demand Charter and Jet Cards — Built for Sports Travel Traditional jet cards can be valuable for frequent flyers seeking guaranteed availability and predictable hourly rates. However, many programs require substantial upfront deposits or 25 or more prepaid flight hours, often representing an initial commitment of $200,000 or more. Many also apply different rules during peak travel periods, including increased advance-notice requirements, pricing premiums, minimum flight-time requirements and potential departure-time adjustments. Those restrictions can be especially challenging for sports travel, where kickoff, tipoff or first pitch is not moving three hours because an aircraft schedule does. Game Day GUARANTEED was designed specifically around that reality. “We’re adding new members who already have hours with major jet card programs, and they’re using those hours exactly where those programs can make a lot of sense — family vacations to the islands, longer trips or remote destinations,” said Luis Garcia, Founder and CEO of Game Day Private Jets. “Then they’re leveraging Game Day for sports travel with friends, family and colleagues, where we can often save them thousands of dollars while providing the scheduling flexibility that game day requires.” “We’re not here to replace jet cards. We’re here to give consumers another option — one that offers more value and flexibility for sports travel while also creating opportunities to support the schools and athletic programs they care about,” Garcia said. “In fact, we also offer the Game Day IMPACT Jet Card, which gives members a funds balance that can be used across the broader Game Day travel ecosystem while helping generate revenue for college athletics and player marketing initiatives, including NIL opportunities. For us, it’s about giving private travelers multiple ways to fly based on how they actually travel.” Three Guarantees Every Game Day GUARANTEED offering is built around three commitments: Guaranteed Access — The aircraft category is secured when the customer books the published Guaranteed trip, subject to program terms. Guaranteed Pricing — Customers see an upfront, all-inclusive charter price rather than starting with an estimated hourly rate and determining the final trip cost later. Guaranteed Recovery — Through Game Day PROTECT, if the originally assigned aircraft becomes unavailable because of a qualifying operational or mechanical issue, Game Day coordinates replacement aircraft recovery in accordance with program terms, without passing the incremental recovery cost to the customer. The goal is certainty around three critical questions: Will I have an airplane? What will it cost? And what happens if something goes wrong? A Turnkey Game Day Experience Game Day GUARANTEED flights also include a catering credit and 24/7 concierge support. Game Day can coordinate ground transportation ranging from SUVs and executive vehicles to sprinter vans and 30+ passenger party buses. Through its collaboration with REVELxp, travelers can also incorporate premium tailgate experiences and other game day hospitality into select trips. An Asset-Light, Safety-Vetted Network Game Day Private Jets operates an asset-light model and works across a safety-vetted network of more than 100 aircraft operators, allowing the company to select aircraft and operators appropriate for each specific market and mission. “Being asset-light is a major advantage for what we’re building,” Garcia said. “Sports travel is incredibly market-specific. The best aircraft and operator for a group flying Houston to College Station may be completely different from the best solution for New York to State College or Atlanta to Athens. Our model allows us to work with strong operators in each market and focus on delivering the right combination of safety, service and economics for the customer.” New Schools and Flights Added Regularly Game Day GUARANTEED flights are currently being introduced across markets serving fans of Texas Tech, LSU, Texas, Penn State, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Miami and Michigan, with additional schools, routes and games planned. New Game Day GUARANTEED Drops will be released regularly as coverage expands across college football and other sporting events throughout the year. Customers can view available Game Day GUARANTEED flights and other travel options through the Game Day Travel Calendar at FlyGameDay.com. Private Aviation That Supports College Athletics Game Day Private Jets works with booster organizations, alumni groups, athletic partners and other college sports organizations to develop travel programs that can create new revenue and support opportunities tied to student-athletes, scholarships and athletic programs. “For decades, private aviation has largely been a transaction between the passenger and the aviation provider,” Garcia said. “We believe there is an opportunity to make that transaction mean more. If our members are already spending money to attend the games and support the teams they love, we want to build a model where their travel can help support those communities as well.” About Game Day Private Jets Game Day Private Jets is a first-of-its-kind private aviation membership platform built around college athletics, fan travel, donor engagement, NIL support and premium game day experiences.
