Illustrative, built from the block time above and a half-hour on the ground at each end. Shift the whole thing earlier or later and it still closes — the working window is set by flight time, not by the clock.
Seattle runs 1 hour behind Boise; the clock times below are local at each end.
Certification and quality work has to be witnessed. There is no remote version of a first-article inspection or a source-inspection visit. On Boise to Seattle it works out to 349 nm each way, or about 7 h 39 m on the road.
Leave at 07 15, on site by 08 39, and the aircraft waits while you work. 6 h 27 m on the ground is a full session, and you are home by 18 30. The hotel night, the second working day, and the evening away all come off the cost of the trip — which is usually where the real money was.
Nobody is driving 7 h 39 m each way for a meeting, so the real comparison is the airline routing — and between Boise and Seattle that typically means a connection, a total block time well over half a day, and an arrival window you do not control. A single segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Neither end of this leg constrains the aircraft. That means short-notice departures are realistic and a schedule change on the day is usually absorbable rather than a rebooking exercise.
We are a broker with one airframe on the sheet. That narrowness is the product: we know the operators, the fields and the real performance rather than guessing across forty types. Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificate holder.

No hub, no connection
The scheduled routing between Boise and Seattle generally requires a connection. One segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Source inspection and AOG
First-article and source-inspection work has to be witnessed, and AOG response is measured in hours. Both reward a departure you can call on the day.
Ten minutes from car to aircraft
Private terminals at both ends. No screening queue, no gate, no boarding group — you park, walk out, and go.
Parachute and autoland, standard
The Vision Jet carries CAPS, a whole-airframe parachute, and Safe Return, a one-button emergency autoland. No other jet in production offers either, at any price.
The Fields
Both ends of this leg
Private terminals at each end. No screening queue, no gate, and a walk from the car to the aircraft measured in yards.

Questions
Chartering BOI to BFI
How long is the flight from Boise to Seattle by private jet?
About 1 h 24 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 349 nautical miles from Boise Air Terminal (KBOI) to Boeing Field / King County International Airport (KBFI). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly BOI to BFI and back in the same day?
That is what the pair is for. Wheels up 07 45, on site in Seattle by 08 39, 6 h 27 m on the ground, and home by 18 30 — 11 h 15 m door to door with no overnight.
How many colleagues can travel to Seattle?
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 leg like this, so it is the number we quote against.
Can the Vision Jet use Boeing Field / King County International Airport?
Yes, with margin. Boeing Field / King County International Airport has 10,000 feet of runway, well inside the Vision Jet's requirements in any normal condition.
What does a BOI to BFI charter cost?
Pricing depends on date, direction, passenger count, and whether the aircraft is already positioned near Boise. Halcyon quotes one all-in figure — aircraft, crew, fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends — inside the hour. That is the figure that reaches accounts payable.
How much notice do you need for a Seattle trip?
Most legs can be arranged inside 24 hours when an aircraft is available, which is the point of the product for urgent site visits and escalations. You get a straight yes or no immediately rather than a request left open.
