Would be good to see anonymised examples of real flight charters so it's possible to get a feel for what a private flight might cost. Might save on tyre-kickers or encourage those who would've guessed it out of their league.
I really like how Flight Fox does this in showing sample trips. It allows you to see the sort of savings they've been able to find.
For a plane with how many seats? Screenshot suggests 4ish passengers, though the aircraft looks like it could carry more.
Am I missing something and this is a per-person cost? That surely wouldn't gel with the statement about it being a more affordable option for flights shorter than 300 miles?
For short flights, a heavy jet wouldn't be cheaper. But when you start looking into singles, twin engines or turboprops the prices for a short flight can become very competitive and affordable... especially when time is factored in.

In the "how it works" the pictures show 4000-7500 usd (i think) per hour.

The 3rd slide (coin-based histogram) has a disingenuous scale...is the vertical axis exponential or something?!
[edit] Looking further down, it turns out that all their graphs are horrific.
Saw that, but I don't know how each aircraft category correlates to capacity unless I guess. Hopefully they'll unveil full info soon.

~20-30k transcontinental?
Per person? Per plane of a certain size?
