In 2026, chartering a private jet from Los Angeles to Italy (such as Milan or Rome) typically costs between $180,000 and $230,000 for a one-way flight. Because this is a long-haul transcontinental journey covering over 6,000 miles, it requires a Heavy Jet or Ultra-Long-Range Jet (like a Gulfstream G650 or a Bombardier Global 7500) capable of making the trip non-stop or with a single fuel stop. The price fluctuates based on the specific aircraft model, the number of passengers, and "repositioning fees" if the jet needs to return to its home base. Hourly rates for these elite aircraft range from $12,000 to $18,000 per hour, and the flight duration is roughly 12 to 13 hours. While the cost is steep, it covers the entire aircraft, meaning you can split the expense among 12 to 16 passengers. For a more budget-friendly (yet still luxurious) alternative, travelers in 2026 often look for "Empty Leg" flights, which can occasionally be found at a 50-70% discount if a jet needs to return to Europe after a one-way trip to California.
