Aircraft options and pricing

Los Angeles to Aspen by class

Aspen limits aircraft to a 95 ft wingspan and 100,000 lb weight, so heavy jets normally divert to Eagle or Rifle. A midsize gives a full cabin direct into ASE with room in the pattern for ski luggage.

What does a Los Angeles to Aspen charter cost?
A light jet runs 12,500 to 17,500 USD one-way and a midsize, our recommendation, runs 16,500 to 22,500. Peak ski weeks sit at the top of each band.
