Laurence G. Hanscom Field (KBED) — Bedford; the main Boston business-aviation field. Boston Logan International (KBOS) — Used when connecting to an international departure. We recommend the field that fits your aircraft and your ground plans, not just the closest one.
What does this route cost?
Indicative brackets for this route run from about $6,033 one way in the smallest suitable cabin to $45,602 in the largest, all-in with our 10% fee and federal excise tax. These are computed from published hourly costs, not live availability — firm pricing comes from the operators we source for your dates.
Is Boston to Chicago priced the same?
The same distance, so the same indicative brackets. The firm quote can move either way: an aircraft already positioned at the Boston end costs less to start there, and the day's availability at each end decides which operators can offer the trip at all. Tell us which direction you are flying and we quote that leg.
Who operates the flight?
An air carrier certificated by the FAA under Part 135. Altessair is a charter broker and arranger, not a direct air carrier — the operator holds operational control. We verify certificate, insurance and safety ratings before quoting any operator.
