For years, the pilgrimage to college football games has been fraught with challenges. As Founder and CEO Luis Garcia states, "We've all experienced the pain points: the lack of direct commercial flights to remote college towns, exorbitant hotel costs that demand a three-day commitment, and the logistical issues of a demanding work schedule. For families, it's often difficult or impossible to pull kids out of school on Friday, which can result in missing an entire season of in-person games. Our model was born from feedback from these fans, who were simply looking for a better, more cost-effective, and truly experiential way to catch more games. Game Day Private Jets is the answer."
At the core of our model is our innovative Membership platform, which is built on the power of community. This unique model empowers Members to join or create local community groups, fostering connections among like-minded fans. Within these groups, Members can self-aggregate and share flights, which significantly reduces individual costs. "Members enjoy preferred pricing on individual charters and can share, propose, and join in on other Member flights offering a variety of ways to fly private and save money," Garcia explains. The platform is not limited to college football; it also allows Members to create public and private travel groups for other special interests, like golf events or F1 races, or to share flights to popular vacation destinations such as Vail, Belize, and Cabo.
"Beyond individual flyers and businesses, we also offer a compelling proposition for collegiate athletics and its most dedicated supporters," states Ross Flurry, VP of Strategy & Development. "We provide a turnkey private jet solution for their alumni and donor network, which includes a revenue-sharing and co-marketing structure where schools benefit financially through collaborative membership sales." This unique model helps universities cultivate stronger alumni engagement and unlock new avenues for fundraising in the NIL era. A key feature of this partnership is the ability for universities to create Private Travel Communities. These custom, by-invitation-only travel groups provide alumni with an additional layer of privacy and exclusivity, allowing them to engage with one another and share the private travel experience. This not only enhances camaraderie and the thrill of game day but it also allows alumni to stay more closely connected with the university's Development teams, fostering a more deeply engaged and vibrant alumni network.
"Having worked with dozens of colleges over the years, we listened to their feedback on how they want to work with private aviation companies," Garcia stated. "We've designed a truly one-of-a-kind program where the university's athletics department, fans, and student-athletes all benefit by partnering with Game Day Private Jets. It's a true win-win-win, and we're excited to offer this initiative which we feel will increase alumni engagement and lead to more donor gifting."
Our service goes beyond just providing flights. Our Trip Support and Concierge Team has years of operational experience handling travel to college games and knows how to navigate the logistical challenges with proactive solutions. We provide full duty of care to our Members, including guaranteed backup aircraft, ensuring clients get to the games they love without fail.
"We also believe in flying with purpose," Garcia emphasized. "That's why Game Day Private Jets is proud to support US veterans. Every Membership sold supports a variety of organizations that assist our nation's heroes, ensuring that our passion for the game also contributes to a greater good. The bravery and sacrifices of our military soldiers and their families are fundamental to enjoying the glory of college football on those warm Saturdays in the fall."
We are committed to continuous innovation and adaptation. "We understand that both the collegiate sports landscape and private jet industry itself is always evolving," Garcia added. "We will be taking crucial learnings from this first year, meticulously gathering feedback from Members and partners to continuously enhance our platform. This will ensure that we remain at the forefront of game day travel solutions and give thousands of families an experience to look forward to every fall!"
We offer Family and Business Memberships. The Family Membership is an annual fee of $949 (currently offered at Founder's Rate of $449) and covers everyone in the household.
