Four facing seats and a table: the classic shared-cabin layout.
Selling single seats to strangers is a different, regulated product. We explain how per-seat flights work and what to check.

One person or company charters the whole aircraft and signs the agreement with the operator. The price is for the aircraft, not per seat, so the group settles up between itself, and the more of you there are, the smaller each share.
Yes. When friends, family or colleagues charter an aircraft together, how you divide the bill among yourselves is your business. Selling individual seats to the public is a different thing, done only under specific DOT and FAA rules by companies authorised for it.
Six friends sharing a light jet from Teterboro to Palm Beach, about 2.5 hours, would each pay roughly $1,460–2,290 for flight time, plus a share of positioning, the 7.5% federal excise tax and fees. The splitter works out any group.
The aircraft costs the same with five people as with six, so the empty seat has to be covered by someone. Agree before anyone pays whether the person dropping out still owes their share, whether you will fill the seat, or whether the rest of you absorb it.
One charterer, a person or a company, signs and is responsible to the operator for the full price. Everyone else pays the charterer, which is why a short written agreement inside the group is worth having.
No. We do not sell individual seats on your charter. You are free to invite people you know; per-seat flights with strangers are a separate product, explained in our notice on sharing with strangers.
Many operators accept pets once they have approved them, and bags are limited by the aircraft’s hold. Tell us both when you ask, and use the splitter to weight extra bags and pets if your group wants to.
