Business travel out of Boston runs into the same problem everywhere in the country: the meeting is three hours away by road and a connection away by air, so a two-hour conversation costs a day and a half. The hotel, the evening away, and the second day of someone's time are the real expense — the airfare rarely is.
Departures use Laurence G. Hanscom Field, a general-aviation field with private terminals and no screening queue. Fifteen minutes from car to wheels-up. Everything inside 560 nautical miles is a same-day round trip, which is the entire reason the network is capped where it is rather than extended to the aircraft's book range.
Halcyon is a charter broker: we place the leg with a Part 135 operator we already know on this type, in an aircraft carrying a whole-airframe parachute and a certified emergency autoland. For a company putting four employees on one aircraft, that combination is the part of the specification sheet that matters.

Questions
Chartering in Boston
Where do private jets depart from in Boston?
Departures use Laurence G. Hanscom Field (BED / KBED) in Bedford, MA. Route 128, the Kendall Square biotech cluster, and the venture community. There is no security screening and no main terminal — you arrive about fifteen minutes before departure and walk to the aircraft.
Which business markets can I reach nonstop from Boston?
18 markets sit inside the short-hop band we publish, from Westchester & Fairfield at 137 nm out to Toledo at 560 nm. All of them are same-day round trips; the network is capped at 600 nm precisely so that stays true.
Can I do a same-day round trip from Boston?
That is what the aircraft is for. A Westchester & Fairfield round trip is about 1 h 24 m of total flying, which leaves the working day essentially intact. Longer pairs make for an early start and a late finish but still avoid the hotel and the second day.
How many colleagues can travel from Boston?
Four seats, every flight, with 32 cubic feet for bags, samples, and materials. The airframe is certified for more, but four is the load that works with fuel and luggage on a regional leg, so it is the number we quote against.
What does private jet charter from Boston cost?
It depends on distance, date, and whether an aircraft is already positioned near BED. Because the Vision Jet has one engine rather than two, hourly cost sits well below a comparable twin — which is what makes a same-day round trip defensible as a business expense. We quote one all-in figure covering aircraft, crew, fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends.
