Founded by entrepreneurs Harrison Epstein and Luke McNees, the new invite-only platform gives members access to private flights and curated experiences from anywhere in the world. 

Revaire is billed as a “members’ club,” but there is no front desk or shared lounge. It is intentionally digital rather than anchored to physical space, meaning members can connect anywhere, anytime. 

“The future of private travel isn’t just about aircraft or destinations,” McNees said in a statement. “It’s about who you’re traveling with, how seamlessly it happens, and how intelligently technology supports the experience without ever getting in the way.”

Powered by patent-pending technology, the platform monitors your existing travel plans in real time, automatically connecting like-minded travelers to share a charter and offering up less expensive repositioning flights. It aims to remove the lengthy, time-consuming coordination typically associated with private charter. (Charter brokers often have to sift through hundreds of aircraft to find a match, then liaise with the client to finalize the flight.) The tech works quietly in the background, eliminating the need for searching, negotiating, or middlemen. 

“Revaire is not about flying private for the sake of luxuryLuxuryA lifestyle defined by exceptional quality, craftsmanship, exclusivity, and sophistication, encompassing the finest products, services, and experiences that represent the highest standards of refinement and excellence.Go to Luxury Glossary alone,” explains Epstein. “It’s about a new approach leveraging technology, the people you meet along the way, and reclaiming the world’s most valuable asset—time.”

Smartphone chartering isn’t a new concept, of course. There are already apps for booking private jets—FlyHouse delivers a selection of charterCharterThe rental of a yacht, jet, or villa for a set period, often with crew included.

Acceptance into the club remains highly selective, resulting in a community of founders, executives, professional athletes, and leaders. That group not only gains access to Revaire but also to VIP events and tailored luxury experiences.

Following what the company says was a “high-demand pre-launch period,” membership applications have just opened to the public. It has, of course, implemented a thorough vetting and approval process, though it does not have a set membership cap. The current membership fee is $1,500. (That includes a $500 onboarding fee for background checks and vetting.) Pricing is expected to climb as additional features are introduced and access is increased. You can apply on the Revaire website.
