Pick an origin and destination from thousands of airports. We measure the distance by coordinates and show a “from” price by aircraft category. These are planning estimates — flights without positioning; the firm price comes in your quote.
Charter is usually thought of per flight hour. These are typical all-inclusive starting points — actual pricing depends on the specific aircraft and trip.
Indicative starting rates, all-inclusive of crew, fuel, standard handling and taxes. Minimums, positioning, airport fees and season apply. We confirm a firm quote in minutes.

Charter is priced per aircraft. The price does not change whether one person flies or eight — so a private jet gets proportionally cheaper with every extra passenger.
Worked from the indicative price for New York → Miami, one way, all-inclusive. With a full cabin on a short leg, the per-person figure lands in the same range as a flexible business class ticket — with your own terminal, no connection, and a departure time you choose.
The single biggest factor. A heavy jet can cost more than double a light jet per hour for the same route.
Priced largely by the hour, so distance and routing drive most of the cost — plus any daily minimums.
If the nearest jet isn't where you are, it flies in empty to collect you — and that time is part of the price.
Peak weekends, events and holidays push prices up as availability tightens; midweek and off-peak save.
Landing, parking and FBO fees vary by airport — and slot-coordinated fields in peak season add cost.
Premium catering, ground transfers, pets, de-icing and special requests are added transparently on top.
Aircraft repositioning without passengers between bookings. If you are flexible on date and time, you pay 40–75% less than the same full charter. See current empty legs.
Four people on a one-hour leg fit comfortably in a light jet. The next class up can cost twice as much per hour without buying you anything on that route.
An airport where a suitable aircraft is already sitting saves the positioning leg. Sometimes a 30-minute drive to the next field is worth several thousand dollars — we tell you in the quote when that is the case.
Friday afternoon out of Teterboro in July is the most expensive slot of the year. The same leg on a Tuesday morning in October is a different number.
Because you pay per aircraft, every doubling of the passenger count halves the cost per person. At six to eight travellers a private jet closes in on what the same group pays in business class.
Two to four weeks out is the sweet spot: enough aircraft to choose from, without the premium for short-notice availability. You can still book up to a few hours before departure.
People searching for the price of a private jet sometimes mean the purchase price. Here is the short answer in numbers — and why, for most people, it argues for chartering.
The typical private user flies 50 to 100 hours a year. At that level chartering is comfortably cheaper than ownership — and you pick the right aircraft for each trip instead of flying the same one all year and paying for it to sit in a hangar the rest of the time. Past roughly 200 to 250 hours a year the maths starts to turn, and fractional ownership or a whole aircraft is worth comparing.
