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.

Vault Aviation, Los Angeles to Aspen: questions
How much does Vault Aviation cost from Los Angeles to Aspen?
About $14,600 one way, or $29,300 round trip, on a light jet (MAX Jet Card · 6 seats), estimated as about 1h 55m of flying × Vault Aviation's published $7,595 an hour. Midsize jet: about $17,400. Super-midsize jet: about $22,400. Large jet: about $23,900. The rate is a published maximum; trips may price lower. These are estimates, not quotes from Vault Aviation.
How does Vault Aviation compare with other jet cards from Los Angeles to Aspen?
Among 17 published light jet figures on this route, Vault Aviation's MAX Jet Card estimate is the 5th lowest, 8% below 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 Vault Aviation estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Vault Aviation's published terms, the rate includes the 7.5% federal excise tax, and it doesn't say whether fuel is included. 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.
