Know what flying private really costs.
Pick a route. Get instant charter estimates for every jet category — turboprop to Gulfstream — built on real market rates, not a sales funnel.
Estimates reflect current US market ranges including fuel and standard fees. No email or phone required to see them — that's the point.
We don't sell flights
Every operator's "calculator" is a form that ends in a phone call. Ours ends in a number. We're independent — which is the only reason we can afford to show you the price.
Real market ranges
Estimates use current US charter rates by category, real route distances and honest flight times — including fuel stops when an aircraft actually needs one.
Then, real quotes
When you're ready, we hand you to a broker with access to 10,000+ aircraftacross 40,000 destinations. You compare firm quotes; we earn a referral fee. Your price is unchanged.
Five categories. Five very different bills.
Charter pricing is simpler than it looks: an hourly rate by aircraft category, times your flight time. Everything else is detail.

The same jet, at 30–75% off
Every day, thousands of jets fly empty to reposition for their next client. Operators would rather sell those seats at a steep discount than fly them vacant. If your dates flex, this is the cheapest way to fly private — full stop.
How empty legs workEvery number behind the estimate
Hourly rates by category, what's inside a quote, the fees that surprise first-time charterers, and when a jet card beats on-demand — our cost guide covers the full economics of flying private in 2026.

Common questions
How accurate are these estimates?
Our ranges are built from current US charter market hourly rates by aircraft category, applied to the real distance and flight time of your route. They are indicative — final quotes depend on aircraft availability, positioning and dates — but they will land you in the right bracket before you ever speak to a broker.
Why don’t you ask for my email or phone number?
Because we are not selling flights. Every "calculator" run by an operator is a lead-capture form in disguise. We publish the numbers openly and earn a commission only if you choose to request real quotes through our booking partner — the price you pay is unaffected.
What’s the cheapest way to fly private?
Empty leg flights — repositioning trips that operators sell at 30–75% off standard charter rates. If your dates and route are flexible, start on our empty legs guide.
How much does a private jet cost to charter?
From about $2,000/hour on a turboprop to $18,000/hour on a heavy jet. A short hop like LA–Vegas starts around $4,500; coast-to-coast on a super-midsize runs $48,000–60,000. See the full breakdown in our private jet cost guide.
