Estimates are for the whole aircraft, not per seat, and are shown before the 7.5% federal excise tax and per-passenger segment fees. Flight times are approximate airborne times on a midsize jet. Your final price depends on dates, aircraft availability and the exact itinerary.

Round trips
A same-day round trip often costs about the same as a one-way. A one-way price already covers the aircraft flying home empty, so on a day trip you’re simply on board for the return.
What drives the price
Four things set almost every charter quote.
Aircraft size
Turboprops and light jets carry 4–8 passengers at the lowest hourly cost. Midsize and super-midsize jets add a stand-up cabin and range. Heavy jets fly 12–16 people coast to coast.
Flight time
Charter is priced by the hour. Most trips also carry a daily minimum, which is why short hops like Vegas start from a floor price.
One-way vs. round trip
A one-way covers the aircraft flying back empty. Day trips and short stays are the best value per flight.
Dates
Holidays and big event weekends (Phoenix Open, F1 Vegas, spring training, ski season) book up first and price higher.
Ways to fly for less
Empty legs
When an aircraft needs to reposition, the seats can sell for up to 75% off. If your dates are flexible, join the empty leg list and I’ll send you deals out of Scottsdale and Phoenix as they come up.
Right-size the aircraft
Four passengers flying an hour don’t need a heavy jet. A turboprop or light jet does Vegas, San Diego and LA in comfort for less.
Book a day trip
On a same-day round trip the aircraft waits for you and nobody pays for an empty flight home.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to charter a private jet from Scottsdale?
Short flights from Scottsdale to Las Vegas, San Diego or Los Angeles start around $6,800 – $9,000 one-way in a light jet. Ski trips to Aspen or Vail run about $10,000 – $15,000. Cabo runs about $13,000 – $19,500. Coast-to-coast in a midsize jet runs about $36,000 – $45,000.

No. ValleyJet is on-demand. There are no membership fees, deposits on account or hourly commitments. You pay per trip.
How far in advance should I book?
We can often arrange a flight within hours, and we’re available 24/7. For holidays and big event weekends, book a few weeks out for the best selection and pricing.
