FASTEST
Heavy
On 4,874 nm the Gulfstream G600 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 65 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.

On Charleston → Mykonos, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Charleston before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
JMK takes heavy one-way arrivals in season, so operators price a probable empty 4,874 nm return toward Charleston into the CHS–JMK quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on CHS–JMK are set field by field — CHS and JMK each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
On a 4,874 nm sector, jet-fuel price movements meaningfully change the quote — operators quote against a live fuel-uplift band.
CHS–JMK is a summer Mediterranean corridor — 4,874 nm inbound to Mykonos prices up sharply Jun–Sep, with Friday/Saturday premiums out of Charleston.
Ramp capacity at JMK during yachting season constrains the lift available for 4,874 nm inbounds from Charleston — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices CHS–JMK beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 4,874 nm.
Slot coordination at JMK — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Charleston departures and raises handling on CHS–JMK.
Ultra-long sectors trigger augmented crew requirements — an extra pilot's cost is reflected in the hourly rate.
Overnight parking at JMK during Jun–Sep is severely rationed — expect a 4,874 nm repositioning quote back toward Charleston if the aircraft cannot stay.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Charleston → Mykonos
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Charleston-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near JMK can trim handling and slot pressure on CHS–JMK — see the airport comparison above.
CHS ↔ JMK (4,874 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at CHS drops handling and slot fees on the 4,874 nm run to JMK.
Flying Sunday/Monday instead of Friday/Saturday during peak season regularly reduces the quote by 20–40%.
A same-aircraft return on CHS–JMK avoids the repositioning charge back to base — say so in the quote request.

Charleston → Mykonos operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Requires long-range or ULR metal (Global 6000/7500, Falcon 8X/10X, G650, G700). Nonstop is the expected profile.
Typical flight level
FL410–FL450 over the 4,874 nm CHS–JMK sector
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Noise / curfew
Night curfew at Mykonos (23:30–06:30).
Runway
6,240 ft (shorter of CHS and JMK) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 4,874 nm; CHS–JMK is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Multi-course dining, sleep configuration and hot cabin service — full FA experience.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from CHS clears the weekday slot peak and lands JMK before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€41,000 – €94,200
Midsize through Heavy over 4,874 nm CHS–JMK, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of CHS sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. CHS–JMK quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
CHS–JMK supply — thin
CHS — 2 archived movements (1 out / 1 in) from 2 operators. JMK — 68 archived movements (36 out / 32 in) from 14 operators. Most CHS–JMK lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Charleston (CHS)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KCHS (0 nm, 1 aircraft), KLRO (13 nm, 2 aircraft), KCAE (83 nm, 2 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Positioning into Mykonos (JMK)
When the based fleet is committed, the next CHS–JMK lift comes from LGAV (73 nm, 15 aircraft), LGMG (100 nm, 6 aircraft), LTBJ (100 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Mykonos (JMK) — arriving from CHS
JMK arriving from CHS: Slot-coordinated Jun–Sep. Curfew: 23:30–06:30.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 4,874 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing CHS within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
