What counts as a 4 seater private jet
The Learjet 35, Embraer Phenom 100 and HondaJet are the 4-seat jets you will most often be offered in the US. Light jets like these cost about $5,500 to $9,868 per flight hour to charter, and from about $880,000 to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
3 models on the US Part 135 charter list seat 4 passengers; together they make up 138 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 4-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at a 5 seater private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about $5,500 to $9,868 for a light jet in the US. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from Part 135 operators.

To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about $5,500 to $9,868 per hour for light jets like these in the US, before federal excise tax, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
