Serious question. We need to fly to see a very sick parent and can't risk flying commercial and going through a big airport. Does anyone have experience chartering a plane from the DC area, and if so, which companies do you recommend? I found a company at our destination but was told it might be less expensive if found one based here.

Thanks in advance!

A company here can fly you there and back on the same jet/crew if you just need to pick someone up. Price is $1,000-3,000/hr depending on jet size. Depart from Leesburg Executive Airport.

I can’t help from the DC area but a 6-8 passenger jet charter will be $4,000+ and hour. I haven’t seen anything at $3,000 or less. If you have tell me who you booked through so I can use them.

If it’s not too far linearair.com will give you immediate quote. I have no idea if their prices are competitive but will help you understand ballpark.

I know someone who just did this from California to east coast and it was over $20K.

Try Netjets out of Dulles. National airport is much more expensive because you need security onboard due to 9/11 requirements.

Right, we have an 11 month old and a 3 year old. Even if we drove through the night, it would be miserable since the little one gets carsick.

Thanks, all. We found a good company called Elite Jets. Not based out of DC, but we can get a round trip for $35K, flying out of IAD.

At that price, I’d drive with the car sick baby.

$35K might be pocket change for them.
