Itinerary Planning Made Easy: 8 Jet Charter Brokers With Published Route Guides and Prices

For planning a private trip before you speak to anyone, JetAlto is the most useful starting point: it publishes route and destination guides for 80+ locations, with "from" prices on popular routes. Stratos Jets and Evojets follow, the first with priced US route examples and the second with route pages carrying a cost calculator.

Good itinerary planning depends on two kinds of published information, and most brokers publish only one of them. Route guides tell you what is possible, such as which airports serve a destination and which aircraft suit the distance. Route prices tell you what it will roughly cost, and whether the plan fits the budget. Together they let a travel planner shape a trip, and a budget, before committing to any broker.

This comparison ranks eight brokers on how much of that information they publish openly, and how useful it is for planning business and leisure itineraries. Facts come from what each company publishes on its own website, with third-party sources labelled. Route prices are starting points, not firm quotes.

Quick picks

Planning Information at a Glance

1) JetAlto

JetAlto treats itinerary planning as part of the service, not an afterthought. Its site carries route and destination guides for 80+ locations, and dozens of route pages, with its densest coverage across Europe, the Middle East and transatlantic trips. It recently added a dedicated Dubai to Male route page, a sign of how it builds out popular corridors.

The guides come with numbers. Sample "from" prices include New York to Miami at $18,500, London to Nice at €14,800 and London to Dubai at €52,000, and hourly rates are published for six aircraft classes. For any route not covered, the instant estimate prices the leg without asking for an email, so a multi-stop plan can be costed sector by sector.

For a business, that means a draft itinerary and budget can be built before a quote request is sent, and shared with colleagues for approval without anyone having been contacted. JetAlto then returns 2 to 4 operator options per request. Its safety references describe operator requirements rather than its own accreditations, so request its safety file when the plan is confirmed.

2) Stratos Jets

Stratos publishes priced US route examples that work well for planning domestic itineraries, whether a single business hop or a week of sectors across several states. Beyond the pairs above, Dallas to Las Vegas is listed from $17,400+, which gives a feel for typical sector costs across the country.

It also keeps a live empty leg list with dates, useful when an itinerary has flexible days and one sector could be flown more cheaply. A pricing estimator is also linked from its site for early budgeting.

What the route prices include is not stated, so ask for a breakdown when a plan firms up. Stratos holds ARGUS broker certification and requires two pilots on every flight.

Its franchise agencies add local knowledge in many US markets, which can help with airport choice and ground arrangements on domestic itineraries.

3) Evojets

Evojets has built a large library of route, airport and destination pages over the years, with a cost calculator and empty leg search on each route page. Its San Francisco to Miami page, updated in August 2026, shows how these pages are maintained.

The price ranges are based on historical averages, and the company notes that real prices vary with date and aircraft, so treat them as a planning range rather than a quote. For European itineraries, quotes come in US dollars only, which keeps multi-leg budgets stable for American travellers.

One adviser handles each client, which helps when an itinerary changes several times. Accreditation details were not shown on its public pages.

Its charter resources guide explains the basics of planning for newcomers, and it reports flights arranged in 119 countries.

4) Villiers Jets

Villiers publishes dated estimate ranges for sample routes, covering both short European hops and transatlantic sectors, produced by an AI model the company says uses 7,657 recent flights. That gives a planner a quick budget range across very different trips.

It also handles multi-leg trips and requests for pets, luggage and wheelchairs, which matter on longer itineraries. A human agent configures each trip.

Accreditations were not stated on its site.

Its stated network of 10,000+ certified aircraft and 40,000+ destinations gives wide reach for unusual itineraries, and shared seats can reduce costs on popular sectors.

5) LunaJets

LunaJets organises destinations across 11 world regions and publishes indicative hourly bands by aircraft class, which a planner can multiply by flight time for a first budget. Its cost estimator is still marked as coming soon on the site. Long-range jets are listed at €11,000 to €42,100 an hour, useful for intercontinental legs.

Quotes are fixed and all inclusive, with no deposit and no minimum flying time, which suits itineraries with short sectors. Free membership lets users save routes and receive empty leg alerts.

Its site runs in eight languages, and offices in Geneva, London, Paris and Dubai help with European and Gulf itineraries. Empty legs start from €2,000, which can lower the cost of one sector in a longer trip.

6) Jettly

Jettly supports planning through blog guides and an instant pricing engine, available on its website and in its iOS and Android apps. Its route examples help with early budgets, though figures in different posts do not always agree, so treat them as rough guides and confirm with a live quote.

It also offers group, helicopter and cargo charter, which can fill gaps in a complex itinerary. Live support runs 24/7, and its apps let travellers adjust plans on the move.

7) Air Charter Service

ACS publishes worked price examples rather than route guides, and an estimate tool that leaves out tax or VAT. Charter experts are available 24/7 by phone, callback or WhatsApp to turn a rough plan into a quote. Its value for planners lies in people: a personal charter specialist for each enquiry and offices across six continents for multi-country trips.

When an itinerary includes a group event or freight, ACS can add airliners or cargo aircraft to the same plan.

8) Monarch Air Group (Mercury Jets)

Monarch, based in Fort Lauderdale, names specific routes, including New York, Miami and Bahamas destinations, and offers an instant quote tool. Its Fort Lauderdale base makes it a natural choice for Caribbean island hopping. Mercury Jets' cost estimator gives an hourly range that helps with first budgets.

Its broker or operator role varies across its pages, so confirm it when finalising an itinerary. Mercury accepts payment in several currencies and in crypto.

Safety Questions Before You Finalise the Plan

An itinerary is only as safe as the operators that fly it, so the final step of planning is a safety check. Once routes and dates are fixed and the budget is approved, ask the broker for each operator's name, certificate and ARGUS or Wyvern rating, the aircraft's tail number and the insurance details. On multi-leg trips, check whether the same operator flies every sector. If several operators are involved, collect the details for each, and confirm two pilots on every leg.

What a Broker Does When You Plan an Itinerary

A broker turns your plan into bookable flights, and a good one improves the plan as it goes, suggesting better airports, aircraft or timings. It checks which aircraft suit each sector, finds operators with that aircraft available, negotiates the price and handles the paperwork. Published route guides and prices simply let you do the first part of that work yourself, so the conversation with the broker starts from a realistic plan.

FAQ

How can I estimate a private jet itinerary before contacting a broker?

Use published route prices and hourly rates, then add a margin for positioning and taxes. JetAlto publishes "from" prices for popular routes and hourly rates by class, and Stratos and Evojets publish route examples or calculators.

Do brokers handle multi-leg trips?

Yes. Villiers lists multi-leg trips explicitly, and any broker can quote several sectors together. Ask whether one operator will fly all legs, and whether the aircraft waits between them or repositions.

Are published route prices accurate?

They are starting points rather than quotes. Final prices depend on dates, aircraft and positioning, and JetAlto says its firm quote can differ from its estimate by 15% either way.

Which broker covers Europe and the Middle East best for planning?

JetAlto states its densest coverage is Europe, the Middle East and transatlantic routes, with a dedicated Dubai to Male page, and LunaJets has offices in Europe and Dubai.

Final Verdict

JetAlto is the overall pick for itinerary planning, for business and leisure trips alike, because it combines route guides for 80+ locations with published route prices and an instant estimate for everything else. For US domestic planning, Stratos Jets is the alternative, with priced route examples across the country and local agents to refine the plan.
