Nine Questions
Questions that arrive here in real life. A fair number get answered no, and those are the ones worth reading.
The nine
Two parts to every answer below. First the short one. Then a pointer to wherever the long one lives.
Is a quote really free?
Yes, and it obliges nobody. A passenger pays this desk nothing at any stage, and no page here has a card field on it.
The block standing behind that claim is the request form on booking, which says so in its first line. Of the nine advertising claims, it is the only one this site makes.
Are you an airline?
No. Longeron Air Charter LLC is an air charter broker and not a direct air carrier. No aircraft owned, no flight crew employed, no operating certificate of any description held.
The flight is performed by a certificated operator, which answers for it. The broker disclosure puts that on one page, and the operator will be named in writing to anybody who asks.
Why did my quote expire?
Two of the nine answers underneath it live for hours rather than days: whether an aircraft is genuinely free, and where it happens to be standing today. Move those and the number moves.
That is why every quote leaving this desk carries the hour it was assembled. Why a charter quote expires works through it.
Why is there no price anywhere on this site?
No agreement with any operator means no tariff, and no tariff means any figure printed here would be one somebody made up. Planning around a made up figure ends at the ramp.
What arrives instead is a range from whichever operators answered, with the reach of each spelled out. Where the money goes on a charter cuts it five ways and shows the single row answerable from here, which reads zero.
Are the operators licensed and insured?
Not something this desk will say. Nobody's paperwork has been read here, and characterizing another company's standing before a regulator cannot be done honestly from a desk. No certificate number and no policy number is printed on any page.
Something more useful happens instead: the operator gets named, in writing, on request, before anything is committed, leaving a passenger free to put the question where it can be answered. A broker and a carrier has the whole division.
Why is the aircraft never named?
Three reasons. None is owned here. A type name belongs to another company as a brand. And the question worth answering is whether what is offered can work both fields with the party and the bags aboard, which no name settles.
Plain description does the work, and the operator is named on the quote. Why this desk names no aircraft has it in full.
Can you find me an empty leg?
Occasionally, and never as something to build a trip around. An empty leg exists only as a by product of somebody else's journey, so it shifts when they shift and vanishes when they cancel, nobody owing anybody anything.
One gets mentioned where an operator has genuinely put one forward that fits. No list of them is published here, a published list being a list of things possibly already gone. The empty leg.
What does a change or a cancellation cost?
At this desk, nothing, at any notice, ever. No money passes through here, so no fee can exist here.
The operator's terms are a different contract and generally sharper than people expect, which is why they go in front of a passenger before anything is committed rather than after. Changes and cancellation.
Is the line answered outside posted hours?
No. Open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm Central, and anything arriving outside that waits in the mailbox for somebody to open it. A line answered around the clock is absent from the claims this site makes.
For anything happening on the day itself, the telephone inside posted hours is the route that works. +1 (469) 405-2260.
