The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

The Challenger 300 is a super midsize jet that can cross the United States without a stop. It flies about 3,100 nautical miles and seats eight to nine passengers. Charter companies and fractional operators use it a lot, so it shows up often on empty leg flights.
Bombardier began work on the Challenger 300 in the late 1990s to fill the gap between the Learjet 60 and the Challenger 604. It is a new design, not a version of the older Challenger 600. Bombardier launched it at the 1999 Paris Air Show. The first flight was on 14 August 2001, and Transport Canada and the FAA certified it in May and June 2003.
The first aircraft entered service on 8 January 2004 with Flexjet. In 2014 Bombardier introduced the Challenger 350, with stronger engines, a longer wing and a better interior. In 2021 it announced the Challenger 3500, which adds autothrottles and a new cabin.
By November 2014 there were 448 Challenger 300s in service. They had flown close to one million hours with 99.79 percent dispatch reliability. Flexjet and NetJets are the biggest operators, and many charter companies fly it as well.

Bombardier placed the Challenger 300 between the Learjet 60 and the Challenger 604. Wikipedia lists the Gulfstream G280, the Embraer Legacy 500 and the Dassault Falcon 2000 as close rivals, and Bombardier cut its price in 2017 to match the Legacy 500.

The 350 has stronger engines, a longer wing with canted winglets, a range of 3,200 nautical miles and a newer interior. The cabin size is the same.
