However, many programs require substantial upfront deposits or 25 or more prepaid flight hours, often representing an initial commitment of $200,000 or more.<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n Game Day GUARANTEED was designed specifically around that reality.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re adding new members who already have hours with major jet card programs, and they\u2019re using those hours exactly where those programs can make a lot of sense \u2014 family vacations to the islands, longer trips or remote destinations,\u201d said Luis Garcia, Founder and CEO of Game Day Private Jets. \u201cThen they\u2019re 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.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not here to replace jet cards. We\u2019re here to give consumers another option \u2014 one that offers more value and flexibility for sports travel while also creating opportunities to support the schools and athletic programs they care about,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cIn 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\u2019s about giving private travelers multiple ways to fly based on how they actually travel.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Three Guarantees<\/b><\/p>\n Every Game Day GUARANTEED offering is built around three commitments:<\/span><\/p>\n Guaranteed Access<\/b> \u2014 The aircraft category is secured when the customer books the published Guaranteed trip, subject to program terms.<\/span><\/p>\n Guaranteed Pricing<\/b> \u2014 Customers see an upfront, all-inclusive charter price rather than starting with an estimated hourly rate and determining the final trip cost later.<\/span><\/p>\n Guaranteed Recovery<\/b> \u2014 Through <\/span>Game Day PROTECT<\/b>, 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.<\/span><\/p>\n The goal is certainty around three critical questions: <\/span>Will I have an airplane?
