Seattle sits far enough north and west that nonstop matters more than speed. A light jet reaches Phoenix in 2h 37m and San Francisco in 1h 45m, but New York takes 6h 08m and Boston 6h 18m — still nonstop, which is the point. The routes below pair city pairs with light jet block times and estimated price ranges, so you can compare before you call.
A turboprop can work too on the short legs. A King Air 350i cruises at 312 kts and seats 8, which suits the Seattle-to-San Francisco run at $6,500 to $10,000. The price bands on these Seattle routes reflect light jet hourly rates of $3,800 to $5,800, and bigger cabins cost more per hour. Every figure here is an estimate, not a quote, and the actual number depends on date, aircraft and how empty the tail is coming in.
Flights inbound to Seattle
Flights inbound to Seattle land at four fields, and the closest to downtown is Boeing Field at 869 miles to the strip on the Phoenix run. Phoenix to Seattle is 951 nm and 2h 37m in a light jet, priced $10,000 to $15,000, which puts you at King County International about 10 minutes from the stadiums. Los Angeles runs 818 nm and 2h 18m at $8,500 to $13,500. If you land at Boeing Field, you clear the field at 21 ft elevation and skip the SEA terminal entirely. Long-haul inbound legs are where class matters: Houston is 1,647 nm and 5h 04m, New York 2,080 nm and 6h 08m at $23,500 to $35,500. A super-midsize like the Gulfstream G280 handles those with range to spare. Cross-border arrivals, including any leg from Canada, go through CBP at the port of entry, so build that into the schedule.

Flights outbound from Seattle
Flights outbound from Seattle are quoted with the same distance math, and the short legs are the value. Seattle to San Francisco is 595 nm and 1h 45m at $6,500 to $10,000, and Seattle to Las Vegas is 757 nm and 2h 09m at $8,000 to $12,500. Seattle to Los Angeles runs 818 nm and 2h 18m, priced $8,500 to $13,500 one way. If the trip turns around and comes back, we quote the return as a separate leg unless the aircraft stays with you. Winter travel to the mountains is different: Seattle to Aspen is 835 nm and 2h 20m at $9,000 to $13,500, and the Aspen approach is terrain-limited, so aircraft and crew need the right approvals. Anything south of the border, like Cabo San Lucas at 1,583 nm and 4h 55m, needs passports and CBP clearance on return.

How route times and prices are computed
Route times and prices are computed the same way across every page. We take the great-circle distance between the two airports, add a 5% routing allowance for airways and weather deviations, divide by the class cruise speed, then add 0.3 hours for taxi, climb and descent. Cruise speeds run from 300 kts on a turboprop to 470 kts on a midsize or heavy jet, and the 0.3 hour allowance applies to every class. That is why a 951 nm trip reads as 2h 37m rather than the raw math.
Prices come from published hourly rate ranges by class, with a one-hour minimum. Light jets run $3,800 to $5,800 per hour, midsize $5,200 to $7,800, and heavy jets $9,500 to $14,500. The low end of each range assumes a standard-cabin aircraft and a routine booking window; the high end covers peak dates and larger cabins. Density altitude matters at mountain fields but not much at Boeing Field, where the July figure is 1,200 ft and the peak summer figure is 1,800 ft. We arrange flights through operators holding FAA Part 135 authority who keep operational control; as a DOT Part 295 broker, we act as your agent, not the operator.
Questions
What does jet charter routes Seattle cover on this site?
Jet charter routes Seattle covers 24 city pairs, split evenly between inbound and outbound. Light jet block times range from 1h 45m on the San Francisco run to 8h 00m to Turks and Caicos at 2,848 nm. Each route lists a distance, a time and an estimated price range by class. We quote both directions because the aircraft and the empty-leg picture differ.
How much does a private jet from Los Angeles to Seattle cost?
A light jet on Los Angeles to Seattle runs $8,500 to $13,500, based on 818 nm and 2h 18m of block time. A midsize or super-midsize costs more per hour but carries 7 to 9 passengers. These are estimates; the firm number depends on your date and which operator has a tail positioned nearby.
Which Seattle airport will my flight use?
It depends on your side of the water and the aircraft. Boeing Field sits closest to downtown with a 10,007 ft runway, Paine Field in Everett has 9,010 ft, Bremerton National has 6,000 ft, and SEA has 11,901 ft. We match the field to the aircraft size, the FBO and your ground plans.
Can I fly nonstop from Seattle to New York?
Yes. Seattle to New York is 2,080 nm and 6h 08m in a light jet, estimated at $23,500 to $35,500. A light jet with 2,165 nm of range covers it, though payload and winter headwinds cut into that margin. A super-midsize gives you more buffer, and the leg stays nonstop either way.
How early should I book a Seattle charter?
Two to four weeks gives the best aircraft selection on popular routes, though we handle shorter notice. If your date is fixed, tell us the airport pair first; if it is flexible, ask about repositioning legs, which can price below the bands shown. Summer and the December holidays are the tightest windows at all four fields.
Do international routes from Seattle need anything extra?
Yes. Flights to Cabo San Lucas at 1,583 nm or Nassau at 2,507 nm require passports for every passenger and CBP clearance on the way back into the US. The operator files the eAPIS manifest. Build extra time into the return schedule, and confirm your documents before the trip is booked, not after.
