Private jet charter questions, answered plainly.

Send us your route, dates, passenger count and bags. You receive aircraft options and an itemised quote, usually within 15 minutes. When you choose, we handle the agreement with the operator and coordinate the terminal, ground transport and any customs. See how private jet charter works.

Start with passengers, luggage and distance, then decide how much cabin space you want. Light jets suit up to six people on shorter routes, midsize and super-midsize jets add room, and heavy jets cover long distances and larger groups. We recommend an aircraft for your exact trip.

Typical cruise speeds run from roughly 510 mph on a midsize jet to about 590 mph on an ultra-long-range jet. Headwinds, altitude and weather change the real figure, so flight times are always estimates.

It depends on the category: up to about 1,800 nautical miles for a light jet, 2,800 for a midsize, 3,600 for a super-midsize, and 5,000 or more for heavy and ultra-long-range jets. Payload, winds and reserves reduce the real range, so we confirm it for your itinerary.

More than on an airline in most cases, but it varies by aircraft. Tell us the number of bags when you request a quote and we confirm the hold capacity for the aircraft you choose.

Yes. Bulky items take space, so tell us how many when you inquire. On a larger group trip they can tip the choice toward a bigger cabin.

For many domestic flights, 15 to 30 minutes before departure is enough at a private terminal. International flights need more time for passport and customs checks, and we give you exact timings.

Most operators allow pets in the cabin. Rules for health and import documents differ by destination, so tell us when you request a quote and we confirm what your route requires.

It is priced mainly by flight time and aircraft size. As a rough guide, light jets start around $4,500 to $6,000 per flight hour and heavy jets reach $12,000 to $20,000 or more, before positioning, fees and taxes. On one-way trips the aircraft usually has to reposition, which can add roughly a third. See the full cost guide.

A few days is usually enough, and last-minute flights are often possible. For holidays and peak Caribbean weeks, two to four weeks ahead gives you the best choice of aircraft and price.

Yes. People say rental, charter, private plane hire or air charter for the same thing: booking a whole aircraft for your trip. You pay for the flight you take, with no membership.

No. We work pay-as-you-go, with no memberships, jet cards or long-term commitments.

Yes. One-way trips are common. Because the aircraft may have to reposition, a one-way price can be a larger share of a round trip, which is why flexible dates and empty leg flights can help.
