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.
A shorter day than most of the network. Workable for a half-day session; if your meeting runs past mid-afternoon we will say so and price the overnight.
Financial services still travels, because the decisions that matter are made across a table. What has changed is that the travel budget is scrutinised — which puts pressure on the day-and-a-half itinerary that a connecting flight forces. Between Orlando and Richmond that problem has a specific size: 574 nautical miles, and 12 h 35 m of it if you drive.
At 574 nm this is a longer day: 2 h 08 m each way, 4 h 16 m of flying. It still closes. On site by 10 23, 4 h 59 m on the ground, home by 18 30. Whether that beats an overnight depends on how long the meeting runs, and we will say so plainly rather than selling the version that bills more hours.
Nobody is driving 12 h 35 m each way for a meeting, so the real comparison is the airline routing — and between Orlando and Richmond 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.
One type, learned properly. We place this leg with a Part 135 operator we already know on the Vision Jet, in an aircraft carrying CAPS — a parachute over the entire airframe — and a one-button emergency autoland any passenger can use. For a company putting four people on one aircraft, those are the specifications that matter.

Why this route works
4 h 59 m on the ground, home by 18 30
Wheels up 07 45, on site 10 23, back on the ramp at ORL by 18 00. 4 h 16 m of flying in total, and nobody's second working day spent in transit.
No hub, no connection
The scheduled routing between Orlando and Richmond generally requires a connection. One segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Counterparties set the date
Diligence sessions and closings happen when the other side is available. A departure time you control is what makes those dates workable rather than aspirational.
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 ORL to RIC
How long is the flight from Orlando to Richmond by private jet?
About 2 h 08 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 574 nautical miles from Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) to Richmond International Airport (KRIC). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly ORL to RIC and back in the same day?
That is what the pair is for. Wheels up 07 45, on site in Richmond by 10 23, 4 h 59 m on the ground, and home by 18 30 — 11 h 15 m door to door with no overnight. It is a shorter day than most of the network, so if your meeting runs past mid-afternoon we will price the overnight instead and say why.
How many colleagues can travel to Richmond?
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 Richmond International Airport?
Yes, with margin. Richmond International Airport has 9,003 feet of runway, well inside the Vision Jet's requirements in any normal condition.
What does a ORL to RIC charter cost?
Pricing depends on date, direction, passenger count, and whether the aircraft is already positioned near Orlando. 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 Richmond 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.
