Factors That Affect Pricing
The hourly rate is just the starting point. Several factors determine the final cost of your private flight:
- • Distance & flight time: Total cost equals hourly rate × flight hours. A CDMX-Cancun flight (2h 10min) on a Learjet 35A costs approximately $5,000 USD.
- • Aircraft positioning: If the jet isn't based at your departure city, there may be a positioning fee.
- • Airport handling: Fees for ground services at each airport, typically $300-$800 USD per stop.
- • Crew overnight: If the crew needs to stay at your destination, expect $500-$1,000 USD in hotel and per diem costs.
- • Season & demand: Peak periods like Easter, summer, and holidays may see higher prices due to limited availability.

How to Get the Best Price
Here are some insider tips to optimize your private jet budget:
- 1. Consider empty legs — repositioning flights offered at 50-75% off regular rates.
- 2. Be flexible with dates — mid-week flights are often cheaper than weekend departures.
- 3. Right-size your aircraft — don't book a heavy jet for 3 passengers on a short route.
- 4. Book ahead — last-minute flights cost more due to limited availability.
- 5. Split costs with your group — a light jet for 6 people can be comparable to business class per person.
