The short answer
Prices depend on route length, landing locations, flight time, season, whether the seat is private or shared and fuel and operator costs. Longer routes with landings cost more, and charters cost more than shared seats. Rates change, so ask for a written quote.
Compare quotes by listing the same details: route, landing points, ground time, breakfast, transfers and cancellation terms.

Reading a quote
A quote depends on route length, flying time, landing sites, aircraft type, fuel and the number of passengers. A private charter splits among fewer people and costs more per person.
Peak seasons increase demand and prices. Request a written breakdown showing what is included and excluded.
Avoiding surprises
Check for additional fees such as landing charges, permits, transport to the airport and meals. Ask what happens if you cannot land or if the weather cancels the flight, and confirm the refund policy.
Insider tip
Ask what is included on the ground, such as breakfast or hotel transfers.
Avoid this
Do not compare a shared seat with a private charter.
