What moves the price
Peachtree (PDK) is the usual arrival, close to Buckhead and the northern business districts.
Where the jet starts its day matters too. If it has to reposition to Teterboro, you pay for that time.
On the calendar side, big college football weekends cause short spikes.
What the price leaves out
An hourly rate is only where the bill starts. Ask about these before you sign:
- Airport and private terminal charges at both ends (TEB and PDK).
- De-icing in winter at Teterboro. Worth asking about if you fly between December and March.
A good broker will give you the all-in figure without being asked twice. Every fee is explained in our guide to charter fees.

- Peachtree (PDK), about 5 miles from Buckhead in a straight line. Northeast of Buckhead. The main private jet airport for Atlanta.
Which jet do you need?
Unless you're a big group or carrying a lot, a light jet is enough. Paying for more cabin on this distance is a choice, not a need.
Good to know on this route
- Big college football weekends in the fall cause short spikes in demand.
- Mostly business traffic, so midweek demand is steady.
Getting a better price
- Book the return together: keeping the same aircraft for the return is often cheaper than booking two separate one-way trips.
- Be open on airports: ask for quotes from more than one airport at each end; the cheapest aircraft isn't always at the obvious one.
- Look for empty legs: repositioning flights sold at a discount. The timing is fixed and they can disappear at short notice.
- Book peak dates early: for holiday weeks and big events, planes sell out and late quotes climb.
Booking takes a few steps: send your dates and passenger count, compare all-in quotes, check the operator and sign. Our booking guide walks through each one.
