Choose by passengers
One seat per passenger, then allow for bags. Light jets seat 4 to 8, midsize 7 to 9, super-midsize 8 to 10 and heavy jets 10 to 19.
Seat counts are typical passenger seating for each model flown by operators on the UK CAA Air Operator Certificate list (5 October 2026).
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour, so the best value is the smallest one that fits your group and bags in comfort.
If every seat is taken, go one size up: luggage, fuel and runway length can limit a full cabin.
