VIP Ops

VIP Ops is a premium Free Flight feature for private charter operations. Use it when you want client missions, charter reputation, returning clients, VIP chains, and private aircraft operations.

​

Access

VIP Ops requires Captain. Free users see a premium locked state. Premium users see two main tabs:

• Charter Board.
• Manual VIP Flight.

​

Charter Board

The Charter Board is the main VIP Ops mission board. It shows available VIP charters and lets you accept missions into My Flights.

​

Board layout

The Charter Board includes:

• Route map.
• Mission list.
• Events tab with charters built from real-world events.
• Multi-Leg tab when chains are available.
• Returning tab when returning-client requests are available.
• Visible charter count.
• Refresh countdown. On the Events tab it counts down to the next event board instead.
• Board mix information for short, medium, long, ultra, request, and rush missions.

The map shows the routes for the tab you have open. It uses different route styles for standard charters, rush missions, returning clients, event charters, route chains, and seasonal event chains. Selecting a route on the map focuses the matching mission, event charter, or chain and opens its tab. Click an empty part of the map to clear the selection.

​

Mission filters

The Missions tab can be filtered by:

• All.
• Rush.
• Requests.
• Short.
• Medium.
• Long.
• Ultra.

​

Mission sorting

You can sort missions by:

• Default.
• Distance ascending.
• Distance descending.
• XP.

​

Mission rows

A mission row can show:

• Operator.
• Route.
• Flight number.
• Rush or returning-client badges.
• Client or purpose.
• Relationship hint.
• Aircraft type.
• Passenger count.
• Distance.
• Estimated XP.
• Accept or Take action.
• Expandable details.

Expanded details may show the mission brief, client context, passenger profile, service notes, market context, account notes, and follow-up context.

​

Accepting a VIP mission

1. Open VIP Ops.
2. Choose Charter Board.
3. Review the map and mission list.
4. Click Accept or Take on a mission.
5. Review the Accept VIP Charter dialog.
6. Choose an aircraft from the FlyHub aircraft catalog.
7. Click Accept Charter.
8. FlyHub adds the mission to My Flights.
9. Start the flight from My Flights.

​

Board lock rules

VIP board missions use a live-booking lock. If you already have an active board mission or chain, the board can show a lock state and block another board mission. Manual VIP Flights are separate from the board lock.

​

Event charters

Event charters are custom VIP missions created from real-world events happening around the world, such as football matches, concerts, festivals, and summits. FlyHub publishes a new set of events every few days. Each event gets exactly one charter, with its own client and story explaining who is flying and why.

​

What an event charter shows

• Event name, category, venue, and city.
• Event date.
• Client type and party size. A sports team, an artist and crew, an official delegation, or hospitality guests.
• The story behind the flight.
• Route and distance.
• Fastest flight time among the available jets.
• Base XP.

​

Booking an event charter

1. Open VIP Ops.
2. Choose Charter Board.
3. Open the Events tab, or click an event route on the map.
4. Click Choose jet on the event.
5. Pick a FlyHub business jet operator and aircraft. You can filter the list by operator.
6. Optionally change the aircraft you will fly. The picker suggests the selected operator’s fleet first, and you can search the full aircraft catalog.
7. Optionally enter a flight number. Leave it blank to use the operator’s schedule number for the route, when it has one.
8. Confirm with Fly with the operator.
9. FlyHub adds the charter to My Flights.

​

Choosing the right jet

The operator list only shows jets that can seat the whole party and reach the destination nonstop. Each option is graded for how well it suits the client: The XP shown next to each option is what that choice earns.

​

Event charter rules

• One event charter can be live at a time. Complete or cancel it before booking another.
• Event charters do not use the charter board lock, so you can hold one alongside a board mission.
• There is no landing deadline. Fly it whenever you like while the event is on the board.
• Each event can be flown once. If you cancel the booking, the event becomes available again.
• Events stay available until the event board resets.

​

Event achievements

​

Multi-Leg chains

Multi-Leg chains are packages of linked VIP legs. They can represent route chains or seasonal event chains.

​

Accepting a chain

1. Open VIP Ops.
2. Choose Charter Board.
3. Open Multi-Leg.
4. Review the chain route and legs.
5. Select the chain.
6. Click the chain accept action.
7. Review the Queue Full Chain dialog.
8. Choose one aircraft type for the full chain.
9. Confirm the chain.
10. FlyHub adds all chain legs to My Flights in order.

​

Chain rules

• Chains contain multiple legs.
• Chain legs are queued together.
• You cannot queue another chain while a chain is live.
• You cannot queue a chain while a charter-board VIP mission is live.
• If chain creation fails partway through, FlyHub rolls back created legs.
• Some chain cancellations affect the whole chain.

​

Returning clients

Successful VIP flights can create returning-client requests. Returning requests may appear in:

• Requests filter.
• Returning tab.
• Board request or rush counts.

Returning-client missions can represent:

• Return segments.
• Continuations.
• Referral flights.

Requests can expire, and rush requests have shorter windows.

​

Completing VIP flights

VIP flights are flown from My Flights like other Free Flight bookings.

1. Accept or create a VIP booking.
2. Open My Flights.
3. Start the flight.
4. Fly online or offline.
5. Finish the flight.
6. FlyHub saves the result.
7. VIP progression updates if applicable.

VIP progression can affect:

• VIP reputation.
• Client familiarity.
• Account warmth.
• Operator trust.
• Cooldowns.
• Follow-up requests.

Smooth and reliable flights improve VIP relationships. Poor flights, crashes, and cancellations can reduce relationship values or create cooldowns.

​

Manual VIP Flight

Manual VIP Flight lets premium users create VIP operations outside the live charter board. It has two modes:

• Manual Bid.
• Weather Scout.
• Flight Builder.

​

Manual VIP Bid

Manual Bid searches VIP-bookable schedules.

1. Open VIP Ops.
2. Choose Manual VIP Flight.

6. Review schedule rows.
7. Click Book.
8. Choose a suggested aircraft or another aircraft from the catalog.
9. Confirm the bid.
10. Open My Flights.

Manual VIP Bid is useful when you want a schedule-based VIP operation instead of a board mission.

​

VIP Weather Scout

Weather Scout searches VIP manual-bid schedules by current METAR weather. Use it when you want a VIP route with a specific weather style, such as a clean VFR departure, a challenging arrival, gusts, low visibility, fog, snow, rain, thunderstorm, or a route touching scanned scenery.

1. Open VIP Ops.
2. Choose Manual VIP Flight.
3. Choose Weather Scout.

8. Check the origin and arrival METAR summaries.
9. Load TAFs if you want forecast context.
10. Choose an aircraft and click Book.
11. Open My Flights.

VIP Weather Scout books through the same VIP manual-bid booking system as Manual Bid. For the full weather-based search guide, see Weather Scout.

VIP Ops vs Manual Flights

​

Common mistakes

• Trying to accept another board mission while one is already live.
• Trying to book a second event charter before completing or cancelling the first one.
• Starting a chain without understanding that all legs are queued together.
• Cancelling a VIP chain when you only meant to stop one leg.
• Forgetting that VIP flights still start from My Flights.
• Using Manual VIP Flight when you wanted a normal Manual Flight.
