Most cost calculators in this category lie by leaving out the aircraft type. A "London to Nice private jet" can mean a 4-seat light jet at €8,000 or a 14-seat heavy at €40,000. The per-person number depends entirely on what aircraft is actually flying. Here's the version with that variable in.
London to Nice — full charter
| Aircraft | Seats | Full price (avg) | Per person at full |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet (Citation CJ2) | 6 | €10,000 | €1,667 |
| Mid jet (Hawker 800) | 8 | €14,000 | €1,750 |
| Super-mid (Citation X) | 9 | €18,000 | €2,000 |
| Heavy jet (Falcon 2000) | 10 | €26,000 | €2,600 |

Empty leg same routes — typical discount
When an empty leg shows up on the same corridor, the per-seat price typically lands at 30–50% of the equivalent full charter. So an €1,667/person full-charter London-Nice becomes around €600–€800/person on an empty leg if one's available that day.
The friction nobody talks about
The hidden tax on splitting a private jet is the social one. Eight people who all need to land at the same airport, take off within a 30-minute window, and have similar luggage allowance is harder to organize than booking eight commercial seats. Most groups solve this with one person fronting the booking and collecting from the others. If that's you, factor in the €100–€200 you'll inevitably eat from someone who drops out last minute.
