Safety and standards
The price is only half the decision
Every quote names the operator and the certificate it flies under, plus any third-party audit ratings it holds, so you can check them before booking.
FAA Part 135
The certificate a US company needs to fly paying charter passengers, covering maintenance, pilot training and crew duty and rest limits.
ARGUS
A third-party auditor whose Gold, Gold+ and Platinum ratings reflect an operator’s safety history and, at higher levels, an on-site audit.
Wyvern
Audits operators against its own standard; those that pass are listed as Wyvern Wingman operators.
IS-BAO
The international business-aviation code of practice, with operators registered at stage 1, 2 or 3 as their safety system matures.
How accurate is the calculator?
It is built to land in the right range, not on the exact figure. It uses great-circle distance, typical cruise speeds plus 25 minutes for taxi, climb and descent, and estimated US hourly ranges, then adds the 7.5% federal excise tax and segment fees on domestic trips. Positioning, daily minimums, overnights and airport fees are not included, which is why the next step is a real quote.
Is the estimate a quote?
No. An estimate shows what a trip typically costs. A quote is a written price from a named operator for a specific aircraft on your dates, and it only becomes binding when you sign a charter agreement.
What does the exact quote include?
Each option shows the aircraft and its operator, the flight time and hourly rate, positioning, any daily minimum, federal excise tax, segment fees and airport charges. Items that depend on the day, such as winter de-icing, are listed with how they would be charged.
Why is my one-way estimate lower than the quote?
Usually because of positioning. If the aircraft has to fly in to collect you, or fly home empty afterwards, that time is billed too. The calculator prices only your time in the air; the quote prices the whole job, and shows each part.
Who operates the flights?
FAA Part 135 certificated air carriers in the US, or the foreign equivalent abroad. Jet Price Calculator is a broker: we compare operators and name the one flying you before you book.
Do I need an account or a deposit?
No. The calculator is free to use, and there is no membership, deposit or sign-up to request a quote.
Can I take my dog?
Plenty of operators take dogs and cats on board, provided they approve each pet ahead of the flight. Mention yours in the notes and only aircraft that accept them will be quoted.
