How much can a private business flight cost.. domestic and international ??..?

Question

My friends have told me stratospheric amounts.. i think they are exagerating but i cant find the real info... thank you for your help;)

Answer 1

depends on the jet size, jet type, flight length, destination, any extra services that are required (eg Customs, Catering, Transport etc)

Charter jet companies can give you quotes if you contact them.

If you and 6 or 7 friends split the cost it can be cheaper (at times) than a first class ticket on a major airline, and you have the flexibility to fly when you want and from where you want and to where you want (within limits, asking to fly from LHR or JFK during a busy period will have you refused - slots are controlled by airlines).

Answer 2

I assume you are talking about aircraft charter? You can look at this site which has one ways and round trips for charters:

Yes, they are insane prices. I just checked a one way from Washington Dulles to Los Angeles in 30 days time. Prices ranged from:

$22,000-$110,000, depending on the size of the jet. Of course, international flights are even more.

Most people who 'own' a plane actually lease the plane and fly a certain number of hours a year (in which they pay a 'per hour' use fee in addition to the annual lease). For example, the entry level cost to join a lease membership is $50,000 on this site and goes upto $1,000,000.

Now, if you are talking a 'business class' seat on a schedule airline, they are cheaper (but still can be a lot). For example, a roundtrip in business class on British Air from Washington to London is about $4,000, though sometimes you can get a budget fare of $2,000. First class from Washington to LAX (one way) is around $1000 or so.

maximum airways have decrease trip fares as you seize up with yet flights are so complete already for that element... the extra booked that's... the better the fare. and the guy who mentioned christmas day and newyears day is extra fee-effective... is suitable... the costs will nevertheless be bigger yet no longer as severe by means of fact the day formerly or after.regrettably in case you like a decrease fee around christmas time you should e book overdue spring early summer season... think of approximately it... whilst do people e book trip time? whilst they're with their relatives contained in the summertime discussing their next holiday domicile or next trip. summer season is a tremendous time for people to start up making preparations... so whilst people start up checking for flights in fall questioning 3 months strengthen is adequate are bowled over to be sure its no longer. do you or your mom have any accepted flyer miles on an airline that could want for use in the direction of the fee ticket? merely examine around for the backside fare... flow on the airways internet site and notice in the event that they have any promotions.. they could have an airport interior of attain that's a decrease fee and much less traveled. in any different case take your opportunities and wait till end of october early november and notice in the event that they have a sale.

Have you considered calling the airline that runs these flights and asking them? This is usually the best method of obtaining information of this type, wouldn't you think?
