INSIGHT

Private Jet Travel Costs

Private jet travel is expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars for a one-way coast-to-coast flight.
However, empty legs offer discounted travel opportunities, potentially comparable to commercial first-class prices.

ADVICE

Hacking Private Jet Travel

To fly privately at commercial first-class cost, find an empty leg and fill it with people.
These deals are conditional, require luck, and involve busy routes, not specific destinations.

ADVICE

Estimating Private Jet Costs

Consider variables like plane size, route, and fuel prices when estimating private jet costs.
Hourly rates vary significantly, making it difficult to give a precise estimate.
