What's Inside
Nine things most charter flyers learn the expensive way.
Every chapter is one place charter costs quietly get away from you — and the question that keeps it from happening on your next trip.
- 01
Special Events
Major events raise pricing at the closest airports. Learn which alternate airports can save you thousands with only a short drive added.
- 02
Same Day Round Trips
Same-day and short overnight trips can price well below standard hourly rates. Learn how to compare trip-by-trip pricing before spending prepaid hours.
- 03
Airport Selection
The airport nearest your destination often costs the most. Learn how airport choice affects price, traffic, and customs before you book.
- 04
Mechanical Recoveries
Every provider handles a mechanical delay differently. Know what to ask so a backup aircraft doesn't become a backup bill.
- 05
Taxes
A 7.5% federal excise tax applies to most charter flights, but not all of them. Learn when it applies, when it doesn't, and when you're owed a refund.
- 06
Cancellations
Cancellation penalties can run up to the full cost of the trip. Learn how the terms change by trip type and how to ask for more flexibility upfront.
- 07
De-Icing
De-icing bills can run over $10,000 with no standard rule for who pays. Know how to clarify liability and reserve hangar space before the bill becomes a surprise.
- 08
Pet Fees
Pet fees range from nothing to several hundred dollars depending on the provider. Learn how to ask the right questions upfront and lower your chances of an added charge.
- 09
Jet Cards & Hourly Programs
The hourly rate on the front page rarely tells the whole story. Learn what to look for in the fine print before signing a long-term agreement.
