This is a true transcontinental leg. Westbound flights face headwinds that can push flight time toward six hours, so non-stop capability and cabin comfort matter more than on shorter routes.

• Super Midsize Jet

  Faster cruise and transcontinental range with a wide, comfortable cabin.

• Heavy Jet

  Large cabins for longer trips, including many transatlantic routes.

• ·Westbound headwinds add time and fuel, so a faster category often pays off in comfort.
• ·Non-stop range rules out smaller cabins, which sets a higher floor on cost.
• ·One way trips can carry repositioning if the aircraft has to return empty.

• ·Aircraft availability on your exact dates. If no aircraft is already nearby, a repositioning flight to reach you adds cost.
• ·Taxes and fees, including the federal excise tax, segment fees, landing and handling charges, and international permits.
• ·Peak demand around holidays and major events, which raises rates and limits aircraft choice.
• ·Fuel prices and the operator's current fuel surcharge.
• ·Crew duty limits and overnight stays on multi day trips, which add daily and positioning costs.
• ·Airport constraints such as short runways, slots, curfews, and winter de-icing.

If 6 people share a one way super midsize jet charter at the midpoint of about $36,073, each person pays roughly $6,012. The range across the group works out to $4,737 to $7,288 per person.

Model host subsidies, paying groups, and empty seats with the split cost calculator.

Transcontinental premium fares are among the highest domestic tickets, so a full group sharing a super midsize or heavy jet can narrow the gap meaningfully on this route.
