[quote=Anonymous]I"ve looked into this. A private jet is $1k-4k/hour depending on the size. It works best when you're going to a place < 3 hours away, that you can't get there directly from DC. It could be either a place that requires a connection, or one where the nearest airport is 2+ hours away. This can happen with a lot of vacation spots. For example, Outer Banks has no commercial air service, and the nearest airport is 100+ miles away. They do have Dare County Airport you can fly a private jet into. Indeed the arrivals today are private jets, including one from Manassas; https://flightaware.com/live/airport/KMQI So that's a 1-hour flight. Let's say it's $3k to charter for 4 people = $6k total. Compare that to buying 4 tickets on United from Dulles fro $500 each = $2000 each way = $4,000 round-trip. Is it worth spending 50% more and saving hours of time and hassle? For a lot of people, it is.[/quote]
