Pricing FAQ
Private jet cost — your questions answered
How much does a private jet cost per flight hour?
Hourly rates start around €3,500 for a light jet, €5,500 for a midsize jet, €8,500 for a heavy jet and €12,000+ for an ultra-long-range aircraft. Your total price adds fixed fees (handling, landing) and aircraft positioning — you only pay for the hours you fly.
How much is a 2 hour private jet flight?
A 2-hour flight costs from about €11,000 in a light jet and €16,000 in a midsize jet, all standard fees and positioning included — the duration table above details every category.
How much is a private jet from London to Paris?
London to Paris (about 55 minutes of flight) starts from about €5,000 in a light jet and €8,000 in a midsize jet — the same figures shown in the route table above. Empty-leg offers on this route can cost 50–75% less when your dates are flexible.
Why do private jet prices vary so much?
Six factors drive the price: distance flown, aircraft category, seasonality (peak weeks like Cannes or Christmas cost more), aircraft positioning before your flight, real-time availability, and special requests such as catering or pets on board.
What is included in the charter price?
Our quotes include the aircraft and crew, fuel, standard landing and handling fees, insurance and standard catering. Premium catering and ground transfers are available as options — there are no hidden fees at booking.
How can I fly private for less?
Empty-leg flights — repositioning flights sold at a discount — cost 50–75% less than a standard charter. If your dates and route are flexible, they are the cheapest way to fly private. See our live empty-legs page for current offers.
How far in advance should I book a private jet?
A charter can be arranged in as little as 4 hours, but booking 48–72 hours ahead gives the best choice of aircraft at the best price. For peak periods (Christmas, F1 Monaco, summer weekends) book 1–2 weeks ahead.
Can you rent a private jet by the hour?
Yes — charter pricing is fundamentally hourly: you pay the aircraft’s hourly rate for the hours flown, plus fixed fees. Unlike jet cards or fractional ownership, on-demand charter has no membership fee or minimum commitment.
