Which aircraft does this guide describe?
This guide uses a King Air 350/350i family — 350 price reference. The family label groups related searches; it does not make every interior, equipment package or performance figure interchangeable.
| Detail | Published reference |
|---|---|
| Aircraft type | Twin-engine turboprop; not a jet |
| Passenger layout | Eight seats in a typical double-club arrangement in ACS’s guide Air Charter Service ↗ |
| Cabin dimensions | 19.6 ft long × 4.49 ft wide × 4.8 ft high in PBJ’s 350 reference Paramount Business Jets ↗ |
Ask for a flight-specific assessment with the actual passenger and baggage load. Do not assume that a maximum seat count, maximum range and all the luggage your group owns can be combined on the same flight.
What should you check in the cabin?
A double-club layout can suit a group that wants to face each other, but the real seat map decides whether everyone has the position they expect. Request current cabin photos and ask which seats have useful table access. Air Charter Service ↗
Check lavatory privacy explicitly: ask about the door or divider and request a photo rather than relying on “lavatory included.” Confirm connectivity and catering separately. The family name does not establish these features on every charter aircraft.
For sports equipment or large rigid cases, send dimensions before accepting the aircraft. A published baggage-volume number does not establish door clearance, compartment shape or the loading plan.
When is this aircraft worth comparing?
We would compare a King Air 350 on a regional itinerary where the proposed cabin accommodates the group and its luggage. Use Dallas–Houston or Los Angeles–Las Vegas to build a brief with a practical return window.
For longer trips or a party that strongly prefers a jet cabin, compare a suitable light jet using the operator’s block times and full prices. A lower hourly reference is not decisive if minimums, positioning or waiting arrangements change the billed total.
How much does the charter cost?
Paramount Business Jets publishes approximately $2,600 USD per hour for this aircraft reference, checked October 8, 2026. This is a provider-published estimate, not an independently measured market average or a complete trip price. Paramount Business Jets ↗
Do not multiply the reference rate by a map’s flight time and call the result a quote. Positioning, minimum billable time, waiting arrangements and included services can change the total. For an overnight trip, ask whether keeping the aircraft nearby costs less than arranging two separate legs.
Compare the full fee breakdown and request the approved passenger and baggage load alongside the total.
Which alternatives should you request?
Compare the Pilatus PC-12 when a different cabin width, seating arrangement or loading solution may better fit the party. Compare a Phenom 300-family jet when the request specifically calls for a jet, subject to operator approval.
If a provider proposes another King Air model, request its own cabin and trip assessment. A family resemblance is not evidence that it preserves the agreed luggage capacity, seating or flight plan.
What should you send with the request?
Send both airport preferences, travel dates, latest useful arrival time, full passenger count and a baggage list with dimensions. Identify any essential cabin feature and ask how an aircraft substitution would preserve it.
Request the complete itinerary price for the actual aircraft, including positioning, minimum billable time, handling, parking, crew arrangements and any applicable taxes. Ask which items remain variable, when cancellation charges begin, and what substitution the agreement permits.

Frequently asked questions
Is a King Air 350 a jet?
No. It is a twin-engine turboprop. A private charter can use a turboprop, but it should not be sold as a jet merely because it appears beside jets in a price table.
Can eight people fly on a King Air 350?
ACS describes a typical eight-seat layout. Confirm that the offered aircraft accepts all eight passengers and their luggage on the actual itinerary.
Are King Air 350 and 350i interiors identical?
Do not assume so. Request the variant, current seat map, interior photos and included equipment for the actual aircraft.
What does a King Air 350 charter cost?
PBJ’s published 350 reference is about $2,600 per hour, checked October 8, 2026. The complete itinerary requires an aircraft-specific quote.

Research checked October 8, 2026. Aircraft and airport facts are attributed to their published references. Provider prices are dated estimates, not live quotes or independent market averages. Our comparisons and worked examples are editorial analysis; fictional inputs are labeled. The operating carrier must assess the actual itinerary, aircraft, passengers and baggage.
