Aircraft decision guide
A midsize-to-super-midsize comparison: the Hawker 800XP offers a broad eight-seat cabin, while the Challenger 350 adds a flat floor, greater cabin and baggage space, and more published range.
Compare another pair
Direct answer
Start with the Hawker 800XP when its cabin and mission range are sufficient. Step up to the Challenger 350 for a larger flat-floor cabin, more baggage or additional range margin. Compare the actual interiors, operating plan and written prices.
Cabin and performance
Published model references support initial planning. Variant, completion, payload, weather, reserves and route assumptions differ; confirm every figure for the proposed tail.
Figures are model-level planning references from the existing aircraft registry and its reviewed technical sources. Confirm the exact variant, cabin and flight calculation for the proposed aircraft.
Typical charter planning cost
These current house ranges are per billed flight hour, with a two-hour billable minimum. They are cabin-class planning ranges, not fixed model rate cards, live offers, or whole-trip totals.
Wire, before taxes and fees
$7,750–$10,800 / billed flight hour
U.S. domestic wire + 7.5% FET
$8,331–$11,610
U.S. domestic card + 4%, then 7.5% FET
$8,665–$12,074
Wire, before taxes and fees
$9,500–$13,000 / billed flight hour
U.S. domestic wire + 7.5% FET
$10,213–$13,975
U.S. domestic card + 4%, then 7.5% FET
$10,621–$14,534
How the math works
U.S. domestic examples add 7.5% Federal Excise Tax to the displayed hourly transportation range. Paying by card costs 4% more than paying by wire; the card example applies that adjustment before FET. Domestic segment tax and trip-specific positioning, airport, handling, catering, deicing and other charges are not included in these hourly examples.
Mission verdict
Choose the Hawker 800XP profile when its eight-seat midsize cabin, positioning and written price fit a regional or medium-distance trip.
Choose the Challenger 350 profile when the party values a flat floor, additional cabin and baggage space, or its higher published range and cruise references.

Buyer questions
The reviewed references show the Challenger 350 cabin at about 25 ft 2 in long, 7 ft 2 in wide and 6 ft 1 in high. The Hawker 800XP reference is about 21 ft 4 in long, 6 ft wide and 5 ft 9 in high.
The Challenger 350 reference lists approximately 106 cubic feet of in-flight-accessible baggage. The Hawker 800XP reference lists approximately 48 cubic feet combined. Confirm compartment geometry, loading limits and bag dimensions for the proposed aircraft.
No. The Hawker 800XP uses the Midsize Jet planning range and the Challenger 350 uses the Super Midsize Jet planning range. The written proposal reflects the aircraft, positioning, itinerary, taxes, fees and requested services.
