Because you are renting the services of a pilot and airplane, the prices are approximate, and may vary according to weather and the exact flight profile. Please call for a more precise quote.

     If both airplanes are available, you may choose between them: the Bonanza can carry approximately 700 pounds divided among up to three passengers and luggage, while the Baron can carry approximately 1,000 pounds divided among up to five passengers and luggage.

Other charges and explanations:
