What moves the price
This is a long westbound trip, so a midsize or super-midsize jet is the safe choice to avoid a fuel stop.
Dates matter more than most people expect. The Phoenix Open in early February is one of the busiest weeks for private jets in the country.
And a jet that has to fly empty to pick you up costs more than one already sitting at Teterboro.
What the price leaves out
Quotes don't always show everything up front. Here's what can be added:
- Handling, parking and landing fees charged by the terminals at Teterboro and Scottsdale.
- Winter de-icing at Teterboro: rarely mentioned in the first quote, sometimes significant on the invoice.
- Crew hotel and per diem if the aircraft waits for you in Scottsdale.
Simplest fix: ask for an all-in price in writing. Every fee is explained in our guide to charter fees.
