Which type of private jet is best for my trip?

The best aircraft depends on your route distance, passenger count, luggage, and cabin preferences. Light jets (2–6 passengers, up to 1,500 miles) suit short business hops. Midsize jets (6–8 passengers, up to 2,500 miles) are ideal for coast-to-coast trips. Super midsize jets (8–10 passengers, up to 3,600 miles) handle transcontinental routes. Large jets (10–14 passengers, up to 7,000 miles) offer full luxury cabins for intercontinental travel. Ultra-long-range jets (12–16 passengers, 7,000+ miles) provide global nonstop reach. Turboprops (4–8 passengers, 600–1,200 miles) are best for regional flights and remote destinations. Paramount also arranges private helicopter and seaplane charters. Your dedicated advisor will recommend the optimal aircraft for your mission.

How quickly can Paramount arrange a private jet on short notice?

Paramount is built for urgency. Our record from initial call to wheels-up is 32 minutes. For most domestic flights, we recommend as little as 4 hours' notice. Quotes can be delivered within 1–2 hours, with rapid mobilization of aircraft, crew, and ground logistics. International flights may require additional lead time of 30 minutes to 48 hours for landing permits depending on the destination. Jet Card members can authorize flights instantly via smartphone. Pilot readiness is typically around 2 hours; aircraft prep and fueling 1–2 hours.

Can I book a one-way flight or take advantage of empty-leg deals?

Yes. Paramount offers one-way private jet charters, empty-leg deals, and floating fleet aircraft. Empty-leg flights are repositioning legs available at 25%–75% off standard charter rates and are most common on popular routes like New York–Miami, Los Angeles–Las Vegas, and London–Nice. Floating fleet aircraft operate without a fixed home base, offering 15%–40% lower pricing on one-way charters. Complimentary upgrades are also available when aircraft inventory allows. Your dedicated advisor monitors thousands of empty-leg and floating fleet opportunities to maximize your value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to charter a private jet?

Prices start around $2,000 per hour for a small turboprop and go up to $14,000+ per hour for large, long-range jets. A typical one-way domestic charter runs between $10,000 and $55,000 all-in. International flights usually range from $45,000 to over $100,000, depending on the aircraft and distance. Empty-leg flights can cut costs by up to 75%.
How do I book a private jet charter?

The easiest way is to call Paramount at +1-877-727-2538 (available 24/7). You can also fill out our online quote form or email us. A senior advisor will get back to you quickly, often within the hour, with aircraft options and pricing.
How fast can you arrange a private jet?

For most domestic flights, we can have you in the air in as little as 4 hours. In emergencies, we've arranged charters in under 32 minutes from first phone call to takeoff. International flights may need a bit more lead time for permits, but we handle all of that for you.
Is private jet travel safe?

Yes, private aviation is extremely safe, and Paramount adds extra layers of protection that most charter companies don't offer. Every client gets a full pre-flight safety report covering the aircraft, crew qualifications, and operator certifications. We only use operators that meet or exceed ARGUS Gold standards, and about 73% of operators on the market don't qualify.
What is an empty leg flight?

When a private jet needs to reposition for its next trip, it sometimes flies with no passengers. These "empty leg" flights are sold at a big discount, often 25–75% off the normal rate. They're a great deal if your schedule is flexible and your route matches an available flight.
Can I charter a private jet to fly internationally?

Yes. Paramount arranges international charters to destinations across six continents. We handle landing permits, customs coordination, and any documentation you need, so the process is as smooth as a domestic flight.
How much luggage can I bring?

It depends on the aircraft. A good rule of thumb is one carry-on bag and one hard-sided case per seat. Larger jets can hold a lot more. If you have skis, golf clubs, or other bulky gear, tell your advisor upfront so they can find the right plane.
What's the difference between chartering and fractional ownership?

When you charter a jet, you pay only for the flights you take. There's no long-term contract and no ownership costs. Fractional ownership means buying a share of a specific plane, which comes with management fees, maintenance costs, and depreciation. For most travelers flying fewer than 50 hours a year, charter is more cost-effective.
