The Cheapest Private Jet Charter Trips

Cheapest Types of Private Jets

Choosing a light jet suitable for up to eight passengers is often the cheapest private charter option. Light jets are perfect for short journeys of around three hours and because of their size, they’re incredibly cost-efficient. These jets have a comfortable interior design with reclining seats, bathroom, and space to work and relax. Some light jets also have executive facilities like multimedia resources so you can work on board. Here are some of the most popular light jet options:

• Cessna Citation CJ1 and CJ1 Plus for five passengers.
• Bombardier Learjet 31 for six passengers.
• Hawker Beechcraft 400 for seven passengers.

Selecting one of these light jets for a short, frequently-used route can be the cheapest way to travel by private jet. A one-hour flight from Teterboro Airport in New York to Boston Logan International, for example, costs from $9,200 in a light jet compared to upwards of $32,600 in a heavy jet. Flying from Los Angeles to San Francisco takes just one hour 15 minutes and costs from $6,600 in a light jet, as opposed to $17,500 in a heavy jet.

Empty Leg Private Flights

To find the cheapest private jet charters, look out for empty leg flights, also known as empty sector flights. So, what exactly does that mean? When a client books a one-way charter, the jet either has to make the return journey afterwards or reposition to pick up passengers from another airport. To avoid the negative cost of flying an empty aircraft, these journeys are often heavily discounted by up to 75 percent.

Empty leg flights are particularly common during the summer when people fly to their vacation homes for the season, but there are plenty of deals on offer all year round. Short-haul journeys tend to be available more often at the last minute, while long-haul routes may be offered months in advance.
