Charter cost calculator

Pick a cabin class and a flight time and you will get a rough order of magnitude in a couple of seconds. It is deliberately simple, and it is not a quote. The figure it produces ignores your actual routing, which is usually the single biggest factor.

Trip type
Indicative trip cost $0 Includes a one hour allowance for repositioning, which is typical but varies a great deal by route.

What this number does not know

  • Where the nearest suitable aircraft actually is on your dates
  • Whether your trip is one way, and whether the aircraft has to fly home empty
  • Season, day of the week and whether a major event is on
  • De-icing, overnight crew costs and international customs or permit fees
  • Whether an empty leg happens to be running along your route, which can change the figure substantially

A real quote costs nothing, takes one message and accounts for all of the above. If the calculator and the quote disagree, the quote is right.
