The Tier Most Bali Charters Actually Use
Six to nine seats at USD 4,000–7,000 per flight hour. Enough cabin and baggage for Jakarta, Singapore and Perth, and enough range that a three-hour leg stops being a compromise.

Figures as published in the fleet section of the homepage, as of August 2026. The hourly band is shared — what changes is range and cruise speed.
Where the money goes
-
Baggage stops being the constraint
More cabin space and baggage capacity is the first thing this tier buys over a light jet, and the reason families and small delegations land here.
-
Block time, not just comfort
Super midsize adds longer range and higher cruise speed, which cuts block time on legs over three hours rather than only making them pleasanter.
-
It covers the regional map
Jakarta–Bali, Bali–Singapore and Bali–Perth all sit inside this tier comfortably, which is why it is the most commonly quoted class on the site.
-
Same rate, different aircraft
Midsize and super midsize share an hourly band. Stepping up is a range and speed decision, not a budget one.
Choosing between them
Midsize Or Super Midsize
Midsize is enough
- Sector under three hours
- Six to eight passengers
- Jakarta, Singapore or a domestic leg
- Schedule has slack in it
Step up to super midsize
- Sector over three hours
- Up to nine passengers
- Perth, or a long regional pairing
- Arrival time is the point of the trip
Because the hourly band is shared, the real question is whether the extra range and cruise speed shorten your day. If it does not, the smaller cabin is not a downgrade.
Questions
Midsize Jets, Answered
What does a midsize to Bali cost?
Around USD 4,000–7,000 per flight hour as of August 2026, for both midsize and super midsize. On a Jakarta–Bali sector that typically lands between USD 24,000 and USD 32,000 one way.
Why is super midsize the same hourly rate?
Because the band published for this tier covers both. What you gain stepping up is range and cruise speed — a shorter block time on the same sector — rather than a different cost per hour.
What is included?
Aircraft, crew, fuel for the planned routing, standard catering and handling at both airports. Positioning flights, upgraded catering, ground transfers and special services are separate lines.
Is it enough for Sydney–Bali?
Super midsize can do it non-stop where range allows, and the Sydney route page bands that at roughly USD 55,000–75,000 one way. At 2,900 nautical miles it is the limit of the tier rather than its comfort zone.
