There are multiple ways you can choose to fly privately, but if you fly occasionally the best way to go is on-demand charter. The major costs with charter are:
- the hourly rate of the aircraft (from $1200 for a little TurboProp, $1800 for a Light jet that seats 4-6 max., and up for larger jets)
- hourly fuel surcharges, which vary based on whatever oil is going for and the size of the jet, but figure another $300-$500 hourly minimum at current prices
- Federal Excise Tax (7.5%)
- positioning fees: unless you book a jet that's at the airport you're going to fly from, you pay for the flight time for it to come pick you up. Also, if you're not doing a short round-trip back to the same airport, you pay for it to go back without you.
In general, a short flight like between Boston and New York round-trip is probably going to cost you like $7K-$10K for turbo-prop or light jet.
