Which airports to use
Leaving Seattle
Departures mostly use Boeing Field (BFI), about 6 miles from downtown Seattle.
Arriving in Scottsdale
- Scottsdale (SDL), about 9 miles from Old Town Scottsdale in a straight line. Right in Scottsdale. Extremely busy in early February during the Phoenix Open.
Which jet do you need?
For most groups of four to six, a light jet does the job nonstop. A bigger cabin for a flight this length is mostly about comfort, not need.
Good to know on this route
- Scottsdale gets very busy during the Phoenix Open in February, so book early for those dates.
- A midsize jet handles this distance comfortably with a full group.
- Winter and spring are the high season.
How to pay less
- Fly midweek: Fridays and Sundays are the busiest days, so a Tuesday or Wednesday departure often costs less.
- Be open on airports: ask for quotes from more than one airport at each end; the cheapest aircraft isn't always at the obvious one.
- Look for empty legs: jets often fly one way with nobody on board after dropping off a client. Those flights can sell for much less, but the time is fixed and they can be cancelled.
- Move by a day: the day before or after a peak date can make a real difference.
Booking takes a few steps: send your dates and passenger count, compare all-in quotes, check the operator and sign. Our booking guide walks through each one.
