Short hop: minimums decide the bill. At about 1h 10m a leg, a program may bill more time than you fly. Published minimums run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, and some programs bill per day; these figures are flight time × rate, before any minimum.
The rate is a published recent average, not a promise. Rates at the entry purchase level as published, checked October 2, 2026; bigger purchases can lower them. Wheels Up's terms: Signature Membership: a fund from $200,000, and bigger funds get lower rates. The fixed plan holds one rate for every trip; the dynamic plan prices each trip, and its figures here are Wheels Up's three-month averages after the fund discount, not a promise. Special fixed rates of $7,500 (Phenom 300, Northeast to Florida) and $10,000 (Challenger 300, transcon) apply to certain flights. Rates are behind the View Hourly Rates button on wheelsup.com.
