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 650 is the newest member of the Challenger 600 family, with a refreshed cabin and avionics. Bombardier says it has the widest cabin in its class and a range of 4,000 nautical miles. It seats up to 12 and is a common choice for charter and corporate flight departments.
The Challenger 600 series began as the LearStar 600 idea of Bill Lear. Canadair launched the program in 1976, and the first Challenger flew on 8 November 1978. Bombardier took over Canadair in 1986 and kept improving the jet. The Challenger 650 was announced in October 2014 and introduced in 2015.
Compared with the Challenger 605, the 650 has a redesigned cabin, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics with synthetic vision, and a 5 percent increase in takeoff thrust. Performance is close to the older 604 and 605. The 1,000th Challenger delivered was a 650, handed to NetJets in December 2015.
Bombardier reports over 1,000 deliveries and more than 5 million flight hours across the 650 platform. NetJets flies more than 50 of them. Air ambulance, government and special mission operators use the type as well.

Buyers often compare the Challenger 650 with the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS. Both list a 4,000 nautical mile range. The Challenger cabin is wider, 7 ft 11 in against 7 ft 8 in, while the Falcon needs less runway at maximum takeoff weight, 4,675 ft against 5,640 ft (maker figures).
Range, speeds, runway figures, cabin size and baggage are from Bombardier. Weights, fuel and engine thrust are from the 2017 Bombardier fact sheet as shown on Wikipedia. The knots figure is GlobalAir's normal cruise.
Up to 12 passengers, depending on the floor plan. Bombardier says it has the highest sleeping capacity in its class.
Bombardier quotes 4,000 nautical miles with six passengers and two crew. That links New York and London, or Dubai and Singapore, the maker says.
Typical cruise is Mach 0.80, high speed cruise is Mach 0.82 and the top speed is Mach 0.85. GlobalAir lists a normal cruise of 460 knots.
Yes. Bombardier says the 650 has steep approach certification, so it can use London City, and it can also use airports like Aspen and Lugano.
