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.
Aerospace programme reviews, supplier audits, and AOG response all run on schedules that airline networks were not built to serve — and the customer is usually waiting. For the Fort Lauderdale to Savannah version, the gap is 360 nm — far enough to cost a day, close enough that losing one feels absurd.
Leave at 07 15, on site by 09 41, and the aircraft waits while you work. 6 h 23 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 53 m each way for a meeting, so the real comparison is the airline routing — and between Fort Lauderdale and Savannah 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.
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport are both business-aviation fields with private terminals, so the ten-minutes-before-departure arrival holds at each end.
Halcyon quotes three aircraft and nothing else — a Vision Jet, a HondaJet and a PC-12 — which is why we know which operators run each well and which fields each one likes. All three are priced for this pair the moment you ask. Flights are operated by FAA Part 135 certificate holders.

No hub, no connection
The scheduled routing between Fort Lauderdale and Savannah 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.
Staying over
Looking for an overnight trip? The instant price covers same-day returns. Anything with a night away is quoted by hand.

Questions
Chartering FXE to SAV
How long is the flight from Fort Lauderdale to Savannah by private jet?
About 1 h 26 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 360 nautical miles from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly FXE to SAV and back in the same day?
That is what the pair is for. Wheels up 07 45, on site in Savannah by 09 41, 6 h 23 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 Savannah?
Four seats and 30 lb of baggage a head, on every aircraft in the fleet. We sell one uniform product rather than pricing by airframe, which is what lets us substitute whichever aircraft is available without changing your booking or your price.
Can the Vision Jet use Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport?
Yes, with margin. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport has 9,351 feet of runway, well inside the Vision Jet's requirements in any normal condition.
What does a FXE to SAV charter cost?
The price is on this page. It is one all-in figure — aircraft, crew, landing fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends — quoted for four passengers and the hours on the ground shown above. Change the party size or the time you need at Savannah and it re-prices as you move the controls. That is the figure that reaches accounts payable.
How much notice do you need for a Savannah 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.
