One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a midsize jet × about 2h 40m, 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.

About $25,600 one way, or $51,100 round trip, on a midsize jet (Private Advantage · Lear 45XR/75, Citation XLS+), estimated as about 2h 40m of flying × Northern Jet Management's published $8,865 an hour, plus the 7.5% tax it says is added. Light jet: about $21,400. Super-midsize jet: about $30,400. Large jet: about $33,900. These are estimates, not quotes from Northern Jet Management.
How does Northern Jet Management compare with other jet cards from Vail to Los Cabos?
Among 15 published midsize jet figures on this route, Northern Jet Management's Private Advantage estimate is the 6th lowest, 5% below the route's median of $27,000. The spread runs from $22,500 to $34,300. CRAFT's Fleet Jet Card is super-midsize only, so it isn't in this midsize 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 Northern Jet Management estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Northern Jet Management's published terms, tax is added on top of the rate, 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.

About 2h 40m on a midsize jet, nonstop, for 1,151 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
