After sign-up, Surf Air members sign into the Surf Air app and can book a trip in as little as 30 seconds. Members schedule a flight based on the existing schedules of third-party operators and are guaranteed to travel with no more than seven other Surf Air members at one time. Surf Air touts its benefits as saving waiting time in line at the airport, navigating online bookings and avoiding call centers and other hassles.

‘With Surf Air, you’re leaving less up to chance – no frustrating airport experiences, lost bags, or time lost waiting, and fewer overnight stays and hotel costs. Gain two hours of productive time to put back in your day, work, and life,’ says Surf Air on its website. ‘No limits, no restrictions. Send your people where they need to go, when they need to go there – and avoid last-minute fare hikes and unpredictable scheduling.’

The new group membership plan is in addition to other membership plans offered by Surf Air, starting at $1,950 per month. These plans apply to different markets and require a 12-month commitment.

Destinations include Napa, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Palm Springs, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, San Carlos, Burbank and Hawthorne.

Insider Take:

If you are a corporate traveler or live in a market served by Surf Air and money is no object, Surf Air can make your life a little easier – and much more comfortable when traveling. A Surf Air membership – individual or group – is certainly not for everyone, but the company is catering to a specific audience, one who values time more than money. We like Surf Air’s business model. They launched in 2013 and have gradually added new markets and membership features to meet their customers’ demand. They seem to know their customers well, and they’ve been successful in making travel easier and more flexible for their members.
