The method

How a Wheels Up trip estimate is built

  1. 1

    Flight time

    Great-circle distance ÷ a typical block speed for the jet size, plus taxi, climb and descent. New York to Miami on a super-midsize jet: about 2h 30m.

  2. 2

    × the published rate

    Wheels Up's Signature Dynamic · Challenger 300 rate: $10,576 an hour. Nothing else is added.

  3. 3

    = the estimate

    About $26,500 one way. Before minimums, peak days, fees and surcharges; the company's quote is the real number.

Short hops cost more than their flight time: published minimums across programs run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, and some bill per day. Routes under 1h 30m are flagged below.
