How our pricing works
You pay one all-in price for the whole airplane. It covers the flight time, any repositioning to and from your airports, applicable fees and federal taxes, all shown line by line before you pay.
One price for the whole airplane
Prices are per trip, not per seat. Bring up to the aircraft's seat count and split the cost however you like.
What's in the price
- Flight time for your legs, priced on the aircraft's hourly rate.
- Repositioning: if the aircraft isn't already where your trip starts (or needs to fly home afterward), those flights can be part of the price. Trips between our home bases usually need little or none.
- Fees such as landing, fuel stop or overnight fees, where they apply.
- Taxes: domestic flights carry U.S. federal excise tax and a domestic segment tax; international flights carry the applicable departure and arrival taxes.
Every line item is shown on your quote before you pay. Prices change with the date, time, aircraft availability and calendar (busy days can cost more).
Things that can add to the price later
A few things can't be known in advance and are covered by the Charter Agreement: services you request (such as catering or ground transport), de-icing, hangar or special-event fees, and delays caused by your party beyond the one-hour grace period.
Paying by card
Credit cards add a 3% card fee, shown before you pay. Debit and prepaid cards never do, and neither does paying from your deposit balance.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Littlebird flight cost?
It depends on the route, date, time and aircraft. Search any two airports in our service area to see live, all-in prices in seconds; the home page also shows example trips and prices.
Are taxes and fees included in the price?
Yes. The price you see includes the flight, any repositioning, applicable fees and federal taxes, shown line by line before you pay.
What is repositioning?
Repositioning is flying the aircraft, without passengers, to where your trip starts or back to its base afterward. When it's needed it's included in your quote; flying between our home bases usually avoids it.
Is there a fee for paying by credit card?
Credit cards add a 3% fee, shown before you're charged. Debit and prepaid cards, and payments from your deposit balance, have no card fee.
Why did the price change?
Prices are live: they depend on where our aircraft are, the calendar and the fees for those dates. If the price changes before checkout, we show you the new price before you pay.
