You can use a private jet whenever you want, without having to own it. BAJit Flights offers a wide range of aircraft and services to suit your needs. But how much does BAJit cost per flight and per hour, and what are the BAJit membership prices? This article should shed light on what you should expect from this interesting private flight company.
How much does a BAJit flight cost?
The average cost of a BAJit flight is anywhere between $6,500 and $13,000. This price range includes heavy jets, mid jets, super jets, and light jets. However, you can easily spend much more than these estimates if you spend more time flying. Also, the cost is much higher for luxurious jets.

The cost of a BAJit flight is influenced by two main factors: the number of hours you are going to spend on the flight and the type of jet you choose.
BAJit offers five different types of private jets such as:
- Heavy jets which carry 10 to 16 people;
- Turboprops that carry 6 to 8 people;
- Mid jets which carry 6 to 8 people;
- Super mid jets that carry 8 to 9 people;
- Light jets which carry 6 to 8 people.
The larger a jet is, the more people it can carry. Also, the costs will be higher for a large jet compared to a smaller jet. Moreover, we already mentioned above that the cost will be highly influenced by the amount of time you spend in the air.
So, if you spend two or three hours in the jet, the flight will be double or triple in price than in the case of one-hour flights. In the table below you will find the costs per hour for different types of private jets offered by BAJit.
Jet types | Flight time (Average) | Hourly Rate |
Heavy jets | 9 to 10 hours | $11,000 to $15,000 |
Super mid jets | 7 to 8 hours | $8,000 to $10,000 |
Mid jets | 5 to 6 hours | $6,500 to $8,000 |
Little jets | 3 to 4 hours | $4,300 to $7,000 |
Turboprops | 1 to 2 hours | $3,500 to $5,500 |

What are Bajit Free Flights?
BAJit complimentary flights are flights offered for free by an airline to a certain customer. These types of flights are pretty common in the aviation world and are usually reserved for customers who for some reason or another, have been inconvenienced by an airline. This can happen due to a canceled flight, a delayed one, or something similar.
Is BAJit legit?
The company behind it, Oneflight International, is a real, working company accredited by the BBB. The advertised services are real but as with everything else in life, be cautious. Their online reviews aren’t all that great. Their Yelp page, for example, has a score of just 2 stars out of five.
Some of the bad reviews talk about higher than advertised fees, problems with booking flights, and problems with canceling flights. Even their BBB page has a single one-star review. As for now, they don’t seem to have a TrustPilot review page.
Does BAJit offer private helicopters along with private jets?
Unfortunately, as of right now, BAJit doesn’t offer private helicopters for rental. This might change in the future so check the official app just to make sure.
