What Our
Clients Say
If I could give this company 10 Stars I would. From start to finish Paramount delivers! People, service, pricing, and the extra mile that you may have forgotten you need or deserve. My rep Lauren Smith never lets me down and I would recommend this company to anyone.
My son and I were traveling home from a long trip in Italy and had an extremely long layover planned for returning to the states. I reached out to Joella last minute and she went above and beyond to get us a plane ready for our arrival so we could get home FOUR hours sooner than planned. Amazing staff all around and an amazing experience. Will always use them.
First time contacting PBJ. Set up was fast, quote on aircraft available and rates was received in less than one hour! We saved three days of our vacation had we stayed with United to get us to our Family Glacier National Park Vacation. Working with PBJ was painless, professional and an awesome experience.
This was my first private jet flight, a bucket list activity. From my initial inquiry through the Paramount website and regular communications with Joydeep Sen, it was a very pleasurable process. The contracting procedure was easier than I expected. I definitely appreciated receiving complete cost quotes, no added fees or charges. The crew service and professionalism was excellent. Overall, a fantastic trip and experience!
We were stuck in Bora Bora due to an airport strike in Tahiti with no resolution in sight except for an 8-hour boat ride on a cargo ship. We recruited some other stranded people from our hotel and chartered a jet the same day so we could all make our international flights. Joella made the process a breeze from start to finish. She was on it! Definitely recommend this company for any flight needs
From the moment we made contact for a quote, we had personalized service even during a holiday weekend. Kevin Rakes is such an asset to this company. The plane was beautiful, the staff professional and the flight was absolutely perfect. Communication with Paramount was amazing and we highly recommend them. We are already pricing out our next private charter and plan to use them many more times in the future! Great job Paramount and kudos to Kevin!
Always a stress free trip when booking with your company. Elise is phenomenal and attention to detail is incredible. She goes above and beyond to make it happen. Will be using your company for all my transportation needs in the future.
I have been a customer of Paramount Business Jets for the last 7 years and have always had a great experience. From quoting, through booking, and the attention to all the tiny details that make the charter process so pleasurable, PBJ has always delivered at a high level!
Elise Massey, who has handled a couple of trips for us and our 3 dogs, has made everything perfect and seamless. I am a Net Jets "refugee," and am so much happier working with Elise. Problems always come up when chartering a plane, but she handled everything from plane switches to last minute catering orders, with aplomb, good humor, and efficiency. I can't imagine with working with anyone else, but I imagine they are all as efficient and supportive as Elise, at Paramount. They clearly hire very smart and patient people, if Elise is any indicator.
