From Booking to Boarding: How XO Makes Private Aviation Simply Effortless

Jul 15, 2026

Private aviation has always promised a better way to travel, but for too long, the booking process didn't match the travel itself. XO changed that; from the moment you open the app to the moment you land. 

Here's a look at how flying with XO provides a seamless experience from the very start. 

Book Instantly

The XO Marketplace app was built with one goal in mind: to put the power of private aviation at your fingertips. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or coordinating a last-minute business trip, the entire booking journey can be available through your mobile device —  with select flights instantly bookable right from the app. 

 

You can search routes, browse available aircraft, review pricing instantly and confirm your flight, all on the one XO mobile app. The intuitive interface means you spend less time arranging your travel and more time focused on what's at the other end of it.

Real-Time Pricing, Total Transparency

One of the most frustrating parts of booking private aviation has historically been the wait — submitting a request, waiting for a quote and going back and forth on availability. XO eliminates that friction entirely. 

 

With real-time pricing and true end-to-end management, you see accurate, up-to-date  pricing for your route the moment you search. You receive clear, competitive pricing that lets you make informed decisions instantly. Whether you're comparing aircraft categories or locking in a specific departure time, XO gives you the information you need to book with confidence. 

Pay Your Way — Now with Apple Pay and Google Pay

Checking out just got even simpler. XO now supports Apple Pay, Google Pay and cryptocurrency directly within the app — and lets you check out with multiple currencies —making payment as effortless as the rest of your experience. 

 

Apple Pay — For iOS users, you can now complete your booking using Apple Pay. No need to manually enter card details or navigate additional steps. A single tap authenticates your purchase securely using Face ID or Touch ID. 

 

Google Pay — Android users enjoy the same streamlined experience. Google Pay lets you securely pay for your charter in seconds, using the payment method already saved to your device. 

Crypto — Prefer digital currency? XO also accepts cryptocurrency as a payment option, giving you even more flexibility in how you book. 

 

All integrations are designed to make the transaction process faster and more secure — so nothing stands between you and your next flight.  

Priority Where It Counts: XO's Preferred Operator Status

XO is part of Vista, the world’s leading private aviation group, covering 96% of the world. This backing allows XO to maintain preferred status with its network of operators, which means that in the rare event an issue arises, XO has the relationships and priority access to resolve it quickly. Whether it's a scheduling change, an aircraft substitution or a logistical challenge, XO's Client Services team acts swiftly. This isn't a detail most travelers think about until they need it. With XO, you never have to. 

The XO Experience, Start to Finish

From real-time pricing and one-tap checkout to seamless digital booking and operator priority — every feature in the XO app is designed to make private aviation feel the way it should: effortless, transparent and entirely on your terms.
