Super-Midsize Jet Charter: Cost, Range & Best Aircraft
Super-midsize jets fly nonstop coast-to-coast, cruise fast, and give you a tall, wide cabin, the class that turns a full transcontinental day into a single relaxed leg for up to nine or ten.
Seats
8–10
Range
~3,500 nm
Per hour
$5,200–7,600
Examples
Challenger 350
Strengths
- True nonstop transcontinental range (about 3,500 nm), New York–LA without a fuel stop.
- Tall, wide stand-up cabins with a full galley and enclosed lavatory.
- High cruise speeds (the Citation X is the fastest civil jet in service).
Trade-offs
- Not a transatlantic aircraft, a crossing to Europe needs a heavy or ultra-long jet.
- Hourly rates approach the low end of the heavy-jet band.

Super-Midsize Jet charter FAQ
How is a super-midsize jet priced on the routes this page links?
The hourly band is $5,200–7,600 in 2026. None of the routes linked here are set by the two-hour daily minimum. New York to Los Angeles, New York to Aspen, Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas, and Houston to Cabo San Lucas are billed from the flight time plus the repositioning allowance. Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas and Houston to Cabo San Lucas are international in the rate model: no 7.5 percent domestic excise tax, plus the $1,200 handling allowance, which is not a customs invoice. New York to Los Angeles and New York to Aspen are domestic, and the 7.5 percent federal excise tax is already inside those ranges. New York to Aspen arrives at Aspen, which publishes a 95-foot wingspan limit. The class label does not clear a specific tail.

The class summary seats 8–10, with a class range of ~3,500 nm. Nonstop coast-to-coast for up to 8–10 passengers. A type page can publish a different seat count or a longer range than that summary.
