Air Charter Adventure Costs vs. Regular Airline Travel

It's not surprising that it costs more to charter a flight than to buy a discounted airline ticket on a national carrier. An average roundtrip airline ticket from Ohio to Las Vegas is $472.00 a person on a regular flight. A roundtrip air charter in a light jet similiar to a Lear Jet would take about the same amount of time as a Boeing 737, but would cost thousands of dollars. Of course, there are a lot of factors to consider, like actual aircraft chartered, number of passengers and amenities. There are always the empty leg flights for charters and red eye flights for the airlines to save a few dollars, but the drawbacks can be scheduling and destination.
