The right aircraft depends on passengers and bags. A turboprop takes about 1h 52m. A light jet takes about 1h 21m. A midsize jet takes about 1h 18m.
Prices are for the whole aircraft and exclude GST. Return trips on the same day cost less per leg than two one-way charters, because the aircraft does not reposition empty.
