Private Jet Travel Is Closer Than You Think

 

Flying private from New York might sound like something reserved for celebrities or billionaires — but today, more travelers than ever are discovering that chartering a private jet from Teterboro Airport (TEB) can be surprisingly attainable. Especially when you factor in time saved, convenience, and group travel, the numbers make a lot more sense.

So how much does it actually cost to fly private from NYC? Below, we break it down by route, aircraft type, and key cost variables so you can plan your first (or next) flight with total confidence.

 

 

 

Why Teterboro Is the Go-To Airport for Private Jet Travel

 

 

Located just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan, Teterboro (TEB) is New York’s top executive airport. It’s used exclusively for private aviation — meaning no commercial airline traffic — and offers:

 

  • VIP terminals (FBOs)

  • Valet service

  • Fast takeoffs with minimal congestion

  • Easier aircraft access

  • More competitive pricing due to higher flight volume
