Super-midsize private jet pricing
Super-midsize private jet pricing depends on flight hours and route length. A New York to Miami trip in this class is estimated at $17,500 to $24,000. We arrange flights with operators who hold FAA Part 135 certificates.
- $7,200–$10,000per flight hour
- 8-10passengers
- 3,200 nmusual reach
Super-midsize private jet pricing typically falls between $7,200 and $10,000 per hour, and that band covers most US trips in this class. Aircraft here cruise near 470 knots with a typical range of about 3,200 nautical miles, and cabins seat 8 to 10 passengers. A short hop like Los Angeles to Las Vegas prices very differently from a coast-to-coast leg because the quote tracks hours in the air, not just distance on a map. Charter brokers like us quote as an agent under DOT Part 295, so the price you see reflects the operator's rate plus our arrangement, not a fleet we own.
For a route like New York to Miami, the estimate is $17,500 to $24,000 for roughly 2 hours 25 minutes aloft, and the range widens when you add ground time or a return leg. New York to Los Angeles runs $36,500 to $50,500 across about 5 hours 03 minutes, which shows how the hourly rate compounds on longer missions. These are estimates, not final invoices; the operator confirms the figure once the itinerary, passenger count and date are locked. If your trip falls on a peak holiday week, then the same route can price higher than the ranges shown here.
Cessna Citation X+
- 9 seats
- 527 kt cruise
- 3,460 nm range
- 82 cu ft baggage
The Cessna Citation X+ seats 9 passengers and is the faster option here at 527 knots cruise, with a range of 3,460 nautical miles. The cabin is 5 feet 8 inches tall and 25 feet 2 inches long, and baggage space is 82 cubic feet. On longer legs like New York to Los Angeles, priced at $36,500 to $50,500 for about 5 hours 03 minutes, the higher cruise speed can shave time aloft and therefore cost. If baggage is heavy, then the smaller hold is the trade-off to weigh.
Bombardier Challenger 350
- 10 seats
- 470 kt cruise
- 3,200 nm range
- 106 cu ft baggage
When a super-midsize jet fits your trip
- You need transcontinental range without a fuel stop on routes like New York to Los Angeles at 2,129 nautical miles, so a nonstop is standard rather than a stretch.
- Your group of 8 to 10 passengers wants a stand-up cabin for a 3-hour-plus leg, such as New York to Aspen at about 3 hours 39 minutes.
- You are flying a shorter hop where the cabin still matters, like Los Angeles to San Francisco in 55 minutes, and you prefer the extra space over a light jet.
- You want a coast-to-coast mission with baggage room, where the Gulfstream G280 offers 154 cubic feet, useful for longer stays or ski trips.
What the estimates leave out
These ranges are estimates for flight time in the class, and they exclude items the operator bills separately. International legs add customs coordination through CBP, and some airports charge landing and handling fees on top of the charter rate. If your trip crosses a border, then build extra time into the plan for clearance on arrival. Peak dates, one-way positioning and last-minute changes can all move the final figure above the range shown.
We are a broker, not an operator. The flight itself is provided by an operator holding FAA Part 135 authority, and that operator holds operational control. Our role is to match your itinerary to available aircraft, present the estimate and coordinate the details. If you need a specific cabin or a tight connection, then tell us early so the operator can confirm what is available.

Questions
What does super-midsize private jet pricing look like per hour in 2026?
Super-midsize private jet pricing runs about $7,200 to $10,000 per hour, and the wide band reflects aircraft choice, route and date. A faster airframe like the Citation X+ can reduce hours aloft on long legs, while a G280 may price differently for the same trip. Treat the hourly figure as the starting point; the operator confirms the final estimate once passengers, bags and timing are set.
How much is a super-midsize flight from New York to Miami?
Expect an estimate of $17,500 to $24,000 for the 949-nautical-mile trip, which flies nonstop in about 2 hours 25 minutes. The range widens if you add a return leg, ground time or a peak date. Because this is an estimate rather than a firm invoice, the operator confirms the number before you commit, and we present it as an agent under DOT Part 295.
How many passengers fit on these jets?
The class typically seats 8 to 10 passengers, and both aircraft listed here seat 9. If your group is at the top of that range, then baggage volume becomes the limiting factor rather than seats. The G280 offers 154 cubic feet of hold space against 82 cubic feet on the Citation X+, so a ski trip or a long stay may favor the larger hold.
Can a super-midsize jet fly New York to Los Angeles nonstop?
Yes. The 2,129-nautical-mile route flies nonstop in about 5 hours 03 minutes, and the estimate is $36,500 to $50,500. Both aircraft in this class have the range for it, at 3,600 nautical miles for the G280 and 3,460 for the Citation X+. If winds are strong, then the operator plans fuel accordingly and confirms the figure on your date.
How long does Los Angeles to Aspen take in this class?
The 634-nautical-mile trip takes about 1 hour 43 minutes nonstop, with an estimate of $12,500 to $17,000. Winter demand into Aspen can push the same route higher, so book early if your dates fall in ski season. The operator confirms the final price, and we coordinate the itinerary with you as the broker.
Who operates the flight and who holds operational control?
The operator flies the aircraft and holds operational control under FAA Part 135 authority. We act as your agent in arranging the trip, which is why we describe the flight as arranged rather than owned. If your itinerary crosses a border, then CBP clearance is coordinated with the operator, and TSA rules apply at the departure airport as they would on any charter.
