One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a midsize jet × about 3h 10m, on the same basis as CRAFT's rate: the 7.5% FET added where the company adds tax or doesn't state it, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour where one applies but isn't published (the low end of the $300–$800 we use), before minimums and fees. CRAFT publishes this page and sells the Fleet Jet Card; it sits where its estimate falls. Sources for every rate are on the jet card rate board.

Stratos Jets, Los Angeles to Houston: questions
How much does Stratos Jets cost from Los Angeles to Houston?
About $35,100 one way, or $70,300 round trip, on a midsize jet (SOAR HIGHER · e.g. Hawker 800XP, G150), estimated as about 3h 10m of flying × Stratos Jets's published $10,268 an hour, plus 7.5% FET added by us (its rate page doesn't state tax). Light jet: about $35,500. Super-midsize jet: about $44,300. Large jet: about $49,400. These are estimates, not quotes from Stratos Jets.
How does Stratos Jets compare with other jet cards from Los Angeles to Houston?
Among 15 published midsize jet figures on this route, Stratos Jets's SOAR HIGHER estimate is the 14th lowest, 10% above the route's median of $32,000. The spread runs from $26,700 to $40,700. CRAFT's Fleet Jet Card is super-midsize only, so it isn't in this midsize jet comparison; its estimate is with the super-midsize figures on the route page. Estimates use each company's own published rate as of the date shown, on the same tax and fuel basis, before minimums, fees and surcharges.
Does the Stratos Jets estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Stratos Jets's published terms, the rate page doesn't say whether tax is included, and fuel is included. To compare like for like with rates that include fuel and tax, we add the 7.5% federal excise tax where a company says it's extra or doesn't say, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour (the low end of the $300–$800 range we use) where it adds one without publishing the amount; nothing for fuel where it doesn't say fuel is extra. Airport fees, the segment tax, peak days and repositioning can add to any of these figures.
How long is a private flight from Los Angeles to Houston?
About 3h 10m on a midsize jet, nonstop, for 1,394 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
