Private Jets for Charter Flights between Boston & Kansas City
Light Jets
Light jets suit two or three executives with carry-on bags. They’re the best fit for Johnson County Executive’s shorter runway, which puts you close to offices in Overland Park and Olathe. Some models have an enclosed lavatory.
Midsize Jets
Midsize jets have an estimated flight time 20–55 minutes shorter than light jets on this route and offer more baggage space. Most models have an enclosed lavatory, a useful feature on a flight lasting just over three hours. They can accommodate a small team traveling for a two-day business visit.
Super Midsize Jets
Many super-midsize jets have stand-up cabins and fully enclosed lavatories. The additional cabin space gives passengers room to work during the flight, making these aircraft an option for executives traveling to afternoon meetings.
Heavy Jets
Many heavy jets have a galley and separate seating areas. They take about the same time as a super midsize jet on this route, so book one when you need room for a larger group, such as friends flying out for a Chiefs game.
Ultra Long Range Jets
Ultra-long-range jets are the fastest option, landing 25 to 35 minutes before a super midsize jet. Many models have fully reclining seats and a full galley. They make sense for VIP groups, or when Kansas City is one leg of a longer trip.
