Question 2

How much does it cost to charter a private jet to Houston?

Charter pricing into Houston depends on aircraft category, flight time and seasonality. As a working range: light jets start around $4,500-$6,500/hr, midsize jets $6,500-$9,000/hr, super-midsize $9,500-$12,500/hr and heavy/ultra-long-range $12,500-$18,000+/hr.
