Very light and light jets

2 to 8 seats · short trips to about three hours nonstop

Very light and light jets bring our smaller jet options together. Start with a very light jet for two to four travelers, or a light jet for a group of six to eight, depending on the aircraft and baggage. Both suit shorter trips where a compact cabin works well. Very light options include the Citation Mustang, Cirrus Vision Jet and Phenom 100. Light jet options include the Citation CJ3, CJ4, Phenom 300 and Learjet 75 and 45XR.

Tell us your route, group size and luggage before choosing a model. Very light jets offer a smaller cabin and more limited baggage space. Light jets give a larger group more room, but cabin layouts, lavatory arrangements and range vary by aircraft. We compare the proposed airplane against the trip before you book.

The cabin

Cabin, baggage, lavatory, wifi.

Cabin space varies across this combined category. Very light jets suit smaller groups; light jets offer more seating and baggage room. These are seated cabins, so compare the specific layout if standing room matters. Lavatory privacy, baggage access and connectivity vary by model and individual aircraft. We confirm those details with the quoted option.

Fair questions

Very light and light jets questions.

What is the difference between a very light jet and a light jet?

We plan very light jets for two to four travelers and light jets for six to eight, depending on the aircraft. Light jets generally offer more cabin and baggage room. The proposed layout and your trip determine the right fit.

Do very light and light jets use the same pricing?

No. Very light jet planning starts at $7,000 for the first 1.5 hours per flying day, with additional time charged above that. Light jets use their own hourly planning range and daily minimum. Positioning, dates and aircraft availability affect the written quote.

Can I stand up in these cabins?

These are compact, seated cabins. If standing room or more space to move is important, compare the midsize category and the specific aircraft layout.

Which aircraft should I choose?

Share your airports, dates, number of travelers and bags. We compare the cabin, range and airport suitability, then explain the aircraft options for your trip.
