Wheels Up’s programs feature higher daily minimums and a restrictive service area. Magellan offers more value for guests who frequently fly shorter legs, with lower daily minimums—1.5 hours across all jet types. Explorer and Explorer100 also offer fixed-rate travel to the Caribbean, while Wheels Up charges variable dynamic pricing.
If you want to fly with zero blackout days, Wheels Up requires a deposit of at least $200k. Magellan’s Explorer and Explorer100 Private Jet Membership programs offer a 365-day guarantee—even during holidays, peak periods, or other times when private jet availability is harder to come by—so you’ll always have a jet when you need it.
We don’t simply exceed safety standards—we have a direct hand in driving the conversation and raising standards for the entire industry. Magellan was the first private jet broker named to the Air Charter Safety Foundation, and our CEO, Joshua Hebert, also served as Chairman and was a founding ACSF member.

Magellan's program customers enjoy fixed-rate service across the entire contiguous U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean—while Wheels Up has drastically reduced fixed-rate service to East and West Coast zones and only two locations in the Bahamas.
