Between $5,500 for an hour in a light jet and several hundred thousand dollars for a VIP airliner across the world. The price is set by the aircraft, the route, where the aircraft starts its day and what the trip asks of it. This page shows how each part is priced; a quote for your dates takes a message.
Bank transfer or cryptoIndicative prices by cabin and by route.
Hourly rates are what operators charge for the aircraft, crew and fuel, and they are the starting point of every quote. The one-way figure beside each cabin is the starting price on one of our route pages, a leg where that cabin is the smallest we would suggest, so you can see what an hour of flying turns into on a real trip.
Every figure is indicative and for the whole aircraft. A quote for your dates adds positioning, airport charges and anything the trip asks for, and we confirm it in writing before you commit.
| Cabin | Seats | Typical aircraft | Hourly rate | One way from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | 6 to 7 | Citation CJ4, Phenom 300, Learjet 55 | $3,500 to $5,500 | $5,500 New York to Boston |
| Midsize jet | 7 to 8 | Citation XLS, Hawker 800XP, Learjet 60 | $5,000 to $7,000 | $30,000 New York to Los Angeles |
| Super-midsize jet | 8 to 9 | Challenger 350, Praetor 600, Citation Longitude | $6,500 to $9,000 | $55,000 London to New York |
| Heavy jet | 10 to 14 | Legacy 650, Falcon 900LX, Challenger 650, Gulfstream G450 | $9,000 to $13,000 | $91,000 London to Miami |
| Ultra-long-range jet | 13 to 16 | Global 6000 and 7500, Gulfstream G650, Falcon 8X | $12,000 to $16,000 | $160,000 New York to Dubai |
| VIP airliner | 19 to 50+ | Airbus ACJ320, Boeing BBJ | $18,000 to $28,000 | $150,000 New York to Paris |
Hourly rates in US dollars, indicative, for the aircraft with crew and fuel. One-way figures come from the route pages they link to. Flights within Europe are priced in euros and flights into the UK in pounds sterling.
Final quotes vary with the itinerary, the aircraft available on the day, positioning, airport charges and operating conditions.
Six cabin classes cover almost every charter. Each one has a mission it is built for, a party it carries in comfort and a reason its price behaves the way it does. Choose the smallest cabin that suits the flight time and the luggage; on a long leg, pay for the space. To start from the size of the party, see private jets by number of passengers.
City pairs of an hour or two: New York to Boston, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, London to Geneva. Six or seven seats, a lavatory, and room for a weekend bag each.
The lowest hourly rate, but a daily minimum of about two flying hours, so a forty-five-minute hop is priced as two. Luggage is the constraint on a longer trip.
See the Learjet 55Three to four hours with a party of eight: New York to Miami, London to Nice, Miami to Las Vegas. An enclosed lavatory and a cabin you can stand in.
A third more than a light jet on the same leg, and the sweet spot when the light jet would be full or the flight passes lunch.
See the Citation XLS+New York to Los Angeles non-stop, or London to New York with a fuel stop for the party that does not need a heavy jet.
The cheapest way across the Atlantic when an hour on the ground is acceptable. Priced close to a heavy jet on short legs, so it earns its keep on the long ones.
See the Challenger 350London to New York or Dubai non-stop, a family of ten to the Caribbean, or a working flight with a separate cabin at the back.
Three crew and a galley are inside the rate. On a long leg the extra seats and the non-stop flight often cost less per person than two smaller aircraft.
See the Legacy 650New York to Dubai, London to Los Angeles or Tokyo, Miami to Dubai, all without a stop, with a bedroom and a shower on the newest types.
The highest hourly rate, but the only way to fly thirteen hours in one sitting. Overnight crew rest and a second crew are quoted on the longest legs.
See the Gulfstream G650A delegation, a team or a wedding party that wants to travel together, with staterooms and a conference table rather than rows of seats.
Priced per flight rather than per hour in practice: positioning, crew and handling for an airliner are a larger share of the total.
Why VIP airliners price differentlyAirbus Corporate Jets and Boeing Business Jets are airliners completed as private aircraft, and they are quoted per trip rather than by the hour. Few exist, fewer are offered for charter, and the nearest one is often a long positioning flight away, so the empty legs to and from the client can be as large a part of the price as the trip itself.
The rest follows from the size of the aircraft: a larger crew with cabin attendants, airliner landing and handling fees, slots at busy airports, weight limits that rule out some business-jet airports (Teterboro's 100,000 lb cap among them), and more fuel per hour. Each family covers several models with very different range and cabin, so the model matters as much as the family.
From the ACJ319neo to the widebody ACJ350, each with its own range and cabin.
Every ACJ model comparedFrom the 737-based BBJs, which most charters use, to the BBJ 787.
Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) charter, model by modelFor fourteen or fewer, a G700 or Global 7500 flies as far, lands at more airports and costs less.
Ultra-long-range jetsSix routes our clients fly most, from a fifty-minute hop to seven hours across the Atlantic. Each figure is the lowest cabin on that route, one way, for the whole aircraft; the route page has every cabin, the airports at both ends and the dates that move the price.
| Route | Flight time | Smallest cabin | Largest cabin | One way from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York to Boston | About 50 minutes | Light jet | Heavy jet, from $13,500 | $5,500 |
| Los Angeles to Las Vegas | About 45 min | Light jet | Heavy jet, from $20,500 | $6,500 |
| Chicago to New York | About 1 hour 55 | Light jet | Heavy jet, from $24,000 | $10,500 |
| Dallas to Las Vegas | About 2 hours 30 | Light jet | Heavy jet, from $29,000 | $14,000 |
| New York to Miami | About 2 hours 45 | Light jet | Heavy jet, from $30,000 | $14,500 |
| New York to Los Angeles | About 5 and a half hours | Midsize jet | Ultra-long-range jet, from $62,000 | $30,000 |
| London to New York | About 7 and a half hours | Super-midsize jet | VIP airliner, from $170,000 | $55,000 |
| London to Dubai | About 7 hours | Super-midsize jet | VIP airliner, from $155,000 | $47,000 |
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft, in the currency the route is priced in. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted once we know your dates.
Two quotes for the same city pair on the same day can be a third apart, and both can be right. These are the nine things that move the figure, roughly in the order they matter. They are also why a charter is quoted for the trip rather than read off a rate card.
A one-way charter is a flight priced on its own: the aircraft flies you, then goes wherever its operator sends it next. On the busiest routes, where fleets sit at both ends, a one-way price is close to the hourly rate multiplied by the flight time. Off the beaten track, it can carry the empty return as well.
An empty leg is the other side of that trade. When an aircraft has to fly somewhere empty, the operator sells the seat-less flight for a fraction of the charter price. It suits a client whose dates and route happen to match, who can accept the operator's timing, and who understands that the leg disappears if the original client's plans change. We watch for them and offer one when it fits, but we do not build a trip around one.
Four cities take more private flights than anywhere else, and each has a page with the airports, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price from every major departure city. Start there when the destination is fixed and the origin is the question.
Four airports take private flights into New York, and Teterboro puts you twenty-five minutes from Midtown.

Private jet charter
Tell us where and when. We search operators at both ends of the route, send two or three priced aircraft with the reasoning, and keep the rest of the trip discreet. Bank transfer or crypto.
By the aircraft, not the seat. The operator charges an hourly rate for the cabin class multiplied by the flying time, with a daily minimum of about two hours, plus positioning if the aircraft is not already where you are, plus the landing, handling and parking at each airport. We quote the whole trip as one figure and confirm it in writing.
Indicatively, in US dollars: a light jet from about $3,500 to $5,500 an hour; a midsize jet $5,000 to $7,000; a super-midsize jet $6,500 to $9,000; a heavy jet $9,000 to $13,000; an ultra-long-range jet $12,000 to $16,000; a VIP airliner $18,000 upwards. The rate covers the aircraft, crew and fuel. Positioning, airport charges and overnight costs are added for the trip.
Most operators charge at least two flying hours for each day the aircraft is used, whatever the flight time. That is why a forty-five-minute flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is not a quarter of the price of a three-hour flight to Miami in the same cabin.
Yes. A quote from us is the whole trip: aircraft, crew, fuel, landing and handling, parking, positioning and any taxes that apply. The items that can change after the quote are the ones outside anyone's control on the day, such as de-icing or a slot change, and we tell you when one is possible.
Often, by a large margin, when one matches your dates, route and party. An empty leg is the aircraft flying home or to its next client anyway, and the operator would rather sell it than fly it empty. The trade is flexibility: the time and route are the operator's, and if their client cancels the leg disappears. We treat them as an option when one fits, never as the plan.
A short domestic flight can usually be arranged the same day and a transatlantic flight within twenty-four hours. A week or two of notice keeps the choice of aircraft open, and on peak dates such as Christmas, the Monaco Grand Prix or Art Basel it is worth booking as soon as the dates are fixed.
Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Payment is usually in full before the flight, against a signed contract. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.
Different aircraft, different bases. One operator has a heavy jet parked at your departure airport with a crew on standby; another has to fly the same type in from four hundred miles away. One aircraft is ten years newer. One quote includes the return positioning, the other leaves it out until later. We show you what is inside each figure so the comparison is real.
By the hour they are close: indicatively about £2,800 to £4,500 for a twin-engine helicopter such as the AW109 or H145, against $3,500 to $5,500 for a light jet. The jet flies about three times as fast, so beyond about two hundred miles it is usually the cheaper trip. For a short hop, such as London to a racecourse or Biggin Hill to central London, the helicopter wins.
Usually, unless you fly a great deal. An owner pays for the crew, hangar, insurance and management whether the aircraft flies or not, so the cost per hour only comes down with heavy use; the NBAA, the US business aviation association, puts the point where whole ownership becomes the cheaper option at about 175 hours a year. A charter price covers only the trip you take.
Where from, where to, the dates and how many are flying. We come back with priced aircraft options, usually the same day, and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
