Offers
An offer is a formal price proposal submitted by an operator in response to your trip request. Receiving offers means your trip has successfully reached the operator network and operators are actively competing for your business.
When offers appear
Offers become available after your trip request reaches Request Sent status — the point where your trip has been broadcast to operators.
Operators review your route, dates, and requirements, then submit their best proposals. You may receive one offer or several, from different operators with different aircraft, pricing, and terms.
What an offer contains
Each offer includes:
- Aircraft details — the aircraft type, capacity, and operator information
- Legs — confirmed flight legs matching your requested itinerary
- Total price — the cost for the full charter (Book Jet) or per seat price (Book Seat)
- Validity window — how long this offer remains open for you to accept
- Operator terms — any conditions attached to the booking
You can review all of these details before making a decision.
Offer states — what you will see
Waiting for offers
Your trip request has been sent to operators, but no proposals have arrived yet. This is normal — operators need time to check aircraft availability, calculate pricing, and prepare their submission.
You will be notified as soon as an offer comes in.
Offer available to review
One or more operators have submitted proposals. You can now open each offer, review the details and pricing, and compare your options.
Take your time — offers remain open until their validity window expires.
Offer accepted
You have selected an offer. A confirmed trip and individual bookings have been created. The flight is now real.
All other offers on your trip are automatically declined the moment you accept one.
Offer expired
An operator sets a validity window when submitting their proposal — a deadline by which you must accept. If you do not act before that window closes, the offer expires and is no longer available.
If other offers are still open, you can still accept those. If all offers expire, see the section below.
Offer declined
An offer may be declined because you selected a different operator's proposal, or because the system declined it automatically when you made your selection.
Selecting an offer
When you accept an offer, the following happens immediately:
- All other offers on your trip are automatically declined
- A confirmed trip is created based on the accepted offer
- A booking is issued to every traveler on the trip (including yourself)
- All travelers are notified
- Each traveler's booking enters payment status
This process is automatic and happens in one step. You do not need to do anything further beyond selecting the offer — the rest is handled for you.
Accepting an offer immediately declines all competing offers and creates confirmed bookings for all travelers on the trip. Review your choice carefully before accepting.
If no offers arrive
If your trip request is sent to operators and no offers arrive before the request's deadline, the trip will reach Expired status.
This can happen because:
- No operators are currently available for your route or dates
- Your specifications are outside what the network can serve right now
- Operators reviewed the request but chose not to submit a proposal
When this happens, you are free to create a new trip request. Consider adjusting your dates, expanding your preferred airports, or trying a different time of year when more operators may be available.
If all offers expire before you choose
If offers were submitted but you did not act on any of them before their validity windows closed, the behavior depends on your trip's state:
- If your trip has no remaining active offers, it moves toward expiry
- If at least one offer is still within its validity window, your trip remains alive
jet4us gives you time to decide — it will not expire your trip while there is still a valid offer on the table. See Expiry for the complete rules.
