Chartering a jet for a round-trip "run"

I inaccurately used the term "jet." What I meant was: chartering a
smaller plane (carrying 5-10 passengers or thereabouts) for the trip to
and fro.

But a plane that can carry 5-10 passengers is most likely going to be a jet.

You can squeeze 5 into some light twins (and even a couple of singles), not
counting the pilot, but you're going to be baggage-limited. Anything more
than that and you're talking a big twin, probably a jet.

In any case, my comments still stand. I gave you rough prices for the two
ends of the spectrum. You can expect charters for intermediate types of
airplanes (larger single-engine airplanes, piston twins, etc.) to fall
somewhere in between.

Of course, until you get an actual quote from an actual charter operator for
an actual flight, you won't really know what the cost would be.

5 minutes of googling brought up some links:

http://www.benzorentacar.com/charterjetrates.htm
http://www.jetexpress.com/specs.html
http://www.centurionfs.com/rates_info.html

there are sure more outfits around, but here you have some estimates to
start your calculations. the last link comes with really detailled
information.

A jet? Not neccessarily. Nine pax over 400 miles is usually a cabin-class
twin or a turboprop. The KingAir200 has the most name recognition.

Your comment about advertising is not right. The DOT has been fining persons
who hold out air transportation to the public without the proper
certifications. If you do not have an air taxi certificate, or are
officially recognized as a a broker, you are subject to fines.
