Estimate a private jet trip in seconds
Route, aircraft category and group size give you an estimated flight time and price range. One tap carries it all into a quote request.
How the estimate works
We measure the great-circle distance between the two airports, add an allowance for routing, nudge the time for typical headwinds on westbound legs, and add time for taxi and climb. That gives an estimated flight time. Multiplying by the typical hourly range for the category gives the price range.
What it leaves out
An estimate cannot know where the nearest suitable aircraft is parked, so it leaves out repositioning. It also excludes the 7.5% federal excise tax on domestic US flights, segment fees, landing and handling fees, crew overnights and de-icing. Your quote includes all of them as one all-in price. Why an estimate and a quote differ.
