Midsize jet charter
A midsize jet is where most passengers start to feel the difference. You can stand up or close to it, the lavatory is private, and there is room to work at a table across from a colleague. Prices for midsize jet charter start at about $5,500 an hour.
The Citation XLS and Latitude are the usual choices. They make sense from about two hours of flight time, or whenever you carry more luggage than a light jet can take, like skis or golf bags.
What midsize jets are best for
Midsize jets make the most sense for trips like these. They seat 7 to 9 and fly about 2,300 nautical miles nonstop.
- Groups of 6 to 8
- Trips of 2 to 4 hours
- Working on board
- Ski trips with more luggage
If your trip matches one of these, a midsize jet is usually the best value per seat. Your advisor will say so if a smaller jet would do.
Midsize jet limits to know
Before you charter a midsize jet, keep these limits in mind. None of them are a problem on the right trip.
- One stop on transatlantic trips
- Higher cost on very short hops
- Luggage: about 8 medium bags. Cabin height 5.7 to 6 ft.
