What is the cheapest way to fly private?

If finding a cheap private jet for sale is still way out of your range, you may want to consider renting an aircraft. The cheapest private jet charter is usually obtained through a membership service with a monthly fee but a more affordable rental rate.

It all depends on where you are located. However, private jet prices in South Africa recently escalated when the Omnicron Covid-19 variant was announced.

Being a jet-setter might not be as out of reach as you once thought, as there are several relatively cheap private planes if you have a couple of million dollars to spare. What is the cheapest plane to buy? Arguably, the best private jet to buy would be the Cirrus Vision based on its cost, but if quality is what you are looking for, then the Embraer Legacy 650E is the one for you.
