Chartering a private jet from Budapest costs from €8,500 for a short midsize jet hop up to €129,500 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.
About EUR 8,500 to EUR 11,500 on a midsize jet, roughly 1h 35m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.
As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Budapest covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.
About 1h 46m wheels up to wheels down on a midsize jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.
For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Budapest is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.
It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
