Why You Should Consider a Charter Flight

Chartering a private flight allows you to maximize your time at your destination and minimize the number of hours you spend traveling.

There are many advantages to booking a charter flight, such as being able to fly on your own schedule, not having to wait in line, flying into airports that may be much closer to your actual destination, and more! When you consider the time and expense associated with waiting for a flight, car rentals, hotel and dining expenses —just so you can meet the airline schedule— booking a charter flight might make more sense.

Recently we flew someone from Yakima and delivered them to the SeaTac airport. The utility of hiring us for this charter saved them a lot of wasted time in traveling across the state. For example, the drive from Yakima to SeaTac would’ve been over three hours (more if you get stuck in traffic), but it only took us 55 minutes by air. Similarly, someone going to or from Spokane, WA would drive in excess of five hours, whereas we can be there in just under two hours. Portland, OR is about a 2-3 hours drive from Olympia, WA, but we could be there in about 45 minutes by air. In the examples below you can see how much more direct travel is by air versus driving.

What Does it Cost to Take a Charter Flight?

We encourage you to Contact Us, for an exact estimate, however, you can estimate the cost for charter flights on our website HERE. Where we provide graphics that will give you a general idea of what flight costs will be within a given service area. The rates depicted assume non-adverse wind and weather conditions that may require some re-routing in flight. Each rate listed reflects a single trip originating from Olympia, WA (KOLM), dropping you off within the appropriate service radius, and the aircraft/pilot returning to the departure airport. However, we can pick up passengers from any airport and take you anywhere within the contiguous 48 states! Due to infinite pick-up, destination, and routing options, simply contact us for a quote regarding where you need to go!
