The price is built trip by trip
A private jet is not sold by the seat. You charter an aircraft for a trip, and the price depends on the route, the aircraft and the date.
The main factors
- Distance and flight time.
- Aircraft category: a light jet costs less than a large one.
- Positioning: the aircraft sometimes has to fly to you empty.
- Airport, ground-handling and catering fees.
- Season and demand: peak days cost more.
How to pay less without compromising safety
Stay flexible on dates, accept a smaller aircraft, or look at empty legs, which are offered at a reduced rate.

FAQ
Why do two quotes for the same trip differ?
They often cover different aircraft, operators or included services.
Is the price fixed in advance?
The quote states what is included. Variable fees are specified in it.
Does travelling in a group lower the price?
The price is for the aircraft, not the seat: with more people, the cost per person goes down.
