$3,950/hr for King Air 350i (seats 12). That's the cheapest rate, all other planes are more expensive

What are you actually paying for here? The right to pay to use a private jet through costco?

Do you have to pay for flight time only or waiting time for the planes also?

The membership basically just opens the door for you to be able to pay to charter the planes.

What is smart though is that they also let you "ride share" and just buy a single seat on popular routes.

Flight time only, it's one of their big selling points over netjets

If you fly a lot, you’re better off with a charter service like XO

That's crazy expensive hourly for a king air.
