Charter flight prices vary based on flight time and type of aircraft. The cost to charter a jet from LA to Hawaii ranges from $45,000 – $55,000 on average on a Supermid Jet, for example.

Flying a private jet to Hawaii in 2026 is an expensive undertaking, primarily due to the long overwater distance which requires aircraft with significant range and fuel capacity. For a one-way trip from Los Angeles to Honolulu, prices typically start around $40,000 to $45,000 for a Super Midsize Jet (like a Citation Sovereign), which is the minimum size capable of making the journey safely. For a more spacious Heavy Jet (such as a Gulfstream GIV), the cost ranges from $55,000 to $75,000, while an Ultra-Long Range jet can exceed $90,000. These prices generally cover the aircraft, fuel, crew, and landing fees but can fluctuate based on seasonal demand, the specific airport of departure, and whether the jet must return empty. If you are flying from the East Coast or an international location like Tokyo, the price can easily double, often reaching $150,000 to $200,000. To save on these costs, some travelers look for "empty leg" flights, which can offer discounts of up to 50% if an aircraft is already scheduled to move to or from the islands without passengers.
