One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a light jet × about 1h 55m, on the same basis as CRAFT's rate: the 7.5% FET added where the company adds tax or doesn't state it, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour where one applies but isn't published (the low end of the $300–$800 we use), before minimums and fees. CRAFT publishes this page and sells the Fleet Jet Card; it sits where its estimate falls. Sources for every rate are on the jet card rate board.

How does Sentient Jet compare with other jet cards from Los Angeles to Aspen?
Among 17 published light jet figures on this route, Sentient Jet's SJ25 estimate is the 9th lowest, at the route's median of $15,800. The spread runs from $12,400 to $21,600. CRAFT's Fleet Jet Card is super-midsize only, so it isn't in this light jet comparison; its estimate is with the super-midsize figures on the route page. Estimates use each company's own published rate as of the date shown, on the same tax and fuel basis, before minimums, fees and surcharges.
Does the Sentient Jet estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Sentient Jet's published terms, tax is added on top of the rate, and a fuel surcharge is added on top. To compare like for like with rates that include fuel and tax, we add the 7.5% federal excise tax where a company says it's extra or doesn't say, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour (the low end of the $300–$800 range we use) where it adds one without publishing the amount; nothing for fuel where it doesn't say fuel is extra. Airport fees, the segment tax, peak days and repositioning can add to any of these figures.
How long is a private flight from Los Angeles to Aspen?
About 1h 55m on a light jet, nonstop, for 730 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
