Private jet charter routes

It depends far more on flight hours than on miles. Across the 20 routes on this page the recommended-cabin "from" price runs $7,200 for Los Angeles–Las Vegas up to $134,200 at the top of the New York–London band. Per mile the ranking reshuffles entirely, because the recommended cabin changes underneath it: Miami–Nassau works out at roughly $48 per nautical mile against about $16 for New York–Miami. Open any route below for its full per-class table.

Two structural costs that a distance-based intuition misses. First, the industry-standard daily minimum: operators bill a floor of about 2 hours per day, so a 0h 46m leg like New York–Boston still bills roughly two hours of aircraft time. Second, repositioning: if no aircraft is sitting at your departure airport, the operator ferries one in empty and amortises that leg into your quote, which our estimates carry as a 30% uplift on flight hours. Neither shrinks just because your trip is short.

Range decides it before comfort does. Our engine recommends the smallest cabin that both seats the party and makes the distance nonstop at about 85% of the aircraft's brochure range, because real payload, fuel reserves and headwinds derate the published number. Across this route set that works out to 6 on light jets, 8 on midsize jets, 5 on super-midsize, 1 on heavy & ultra-long. Every route page shows all four classes priced side by side so you can see exactly what sizing up costs.

No. They are estimates from the same 2026 rate engine that powers our calculator, built from published market hourly rates by cabin class plus the fixed per-trip costs (landing, handling, crew, catering, segment fees) and the applicable taxes. US domestic legs carry the 7.5% federal excise tax; international legs are exempt from it but add customs, immigration and international handling. Your final price comes from the operator in a written quote, which an advisor returns within about 15 minutes.

Yes. 4 of the 20 routes priced here cross a border — New York to London, Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas, Miami to Nassau, Houston to Cabo San Lucas — and we arrange charters well beyond the corridors listed on this page. If your city pair is not here, the route cost calculator prices any pair in our airport database, or an advisor will quote it directly.

Sometimes, and the saving can be substantial. An empty leg is an aircraft repositioning without passengers — the operator has to fly it regardless, so it sells at a discount. The catch is that you take the operator's schedule rather than your own: the date, the time and occasionally the airport are fixed. If your plans flex by a day or two on a corridor we cover, it is worth setting an alert before booking a standard charter.
