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.

This page covers the Citation V and the Citation Ultra, which are both the Cessna Model 560. They fly about 1,650 nautical miles, seat up to eight passengers and are flown by two pilots. Both are out of production and sell on the pre-owned market.
The Citation V, which Cessna calls the Model 560, is a stretched version of the Citation S/II. The first prototype flew in August 1987, and the FAA certified it on 9 December 1988. Cessna delivered 262 between April 1989 and mid 1994, and it was the best selling business jet on the market during its production run.
The Citation Ultra was announced in September 1993, and the FAA certified it in June 1994. It has JT15D-5D engines with 3,045 lb of thrust, against 2,900 lb on the V, and a full glass cockpit for both pilots. Flying magazine named it the best business jet of 1994. Cessna delivered 279 and built it until 1999. The Encore and Encore+ followed, with new engines.
Private owners, companies, charter operators and fractional programs fly both. The US Army and Marine Corps use the type as the UC-35, an executive transport.

Buyers often compare the Citation V and Ultra with the Hawker 400XP. In a 2016 AvBuyer comparison, the Ultra carried more with full fuel and had a longer cabin. The Hawker 400XP had a wider cabin and a lower cost per nautical mile. Fuel burn was almost the same.
