One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a midsize jet × about 5h 00m, 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.

Airport fees, the segment tax, peak days and repositioning can add to any of these figures.
