The answers before you book
How long is the flight?
Use about two hours airborne as an editorial planning estimate. It is not a SkySouth timetable or logged route average. Wind, routing, aircraft, and traffic affect the actual flight. Allow extra time for boarding, taxiing, and both car journeys.
How much does it cost?
SkySouth lists starting rates of $2,900 per flight hour for the CJ1 and $3,500 for the CJ3. At an illustrative two billed hours, the flight component is $5,800 or $7,000. Other trip charges are additional; request a complete quote.
Can I arrive late at night?
Naples Airport requests voluntary restraint from flying between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. local time. Share a late arrival or early departure requirement before booking so dispatch can compare the itinerary and handling arrangements.
Plan for the place you are staying
A Naples trip starts with an address
A weekend near Fifth Avenue South, a golf trip in North Naples, and a visit to family in Bonita Springs can look similar on a flight request. They need different conversations about the arrival airport, the car journey, and what goes in the baggage compartment.
For a short stay, those details matter. An airport that suits the flight but adds an inconvenient transfer can cut into the afternoon you wanted on the coast. Send the hotel, home, golf club, or meeting address with your request. SkySouth can discuss the flight and the journey after landing together.
Burlington is also a departure option to compare for travelers coming from Greensboro, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Include your starting address rather than assuming the nearest airline terminal is the best starting point for a charter.
Southwest Florida arrival guide
Which airport should you use for Naples?
Compare Naples Airport first for destinations in Naples. If you are staying farther north, combining stops, or working around a specific schedule, ask about the Fort Myers alternatives. The recommendations in this chooser are editorial planning guidance, not live airport availability.
For a Naples stay, compare APF against your exact destination address. Include your arrival time, golf bags, and any fixed appointment in the request.
Naples Airport
Naples Airport serves general aviation and offers an arrival point in the city. Naples Aviation, the airport's FBO, lists car rentals, catering, hotel assistance, and vehicle pickup arrangements among its services.
Discuss APF for Old Naples, local homes, and Naples-area hotels or clubs. Confirm the pickup location and the airport's quiet-hours guidance when arranging the flight.
Naples Airport Authority: FBO servicesSouthwest Florida International
RSW is in Fort Myers and provides another airport to discuss for a Southwest Florida trip. Its location may be worth comparing for Estero, Bonita Springs, a mixed itinerary, or a connection with travelers arriving by airline.
Use the charter's confirmed FBO address when comparing road journeys. Coordinate separate airline arrivals explicitly, including terminal transfer time and a meeting point.
Lee County Port Authority: about RSWPage Field
The Lee County Port Authority describes Page Field as a general aviation airport in Fort Myers. It is a useful option to compare when the trip is centered on Fort Myers or Cape Coral rather than Naples.
Ask whether a Page Field arrival improves your overall itinerary. Airport services, crew planning, runway conditions, and your street address all belong in that decision.
Lee County Port Authority: Page Field guideGovernment reference data
Runway length is not the same as landing distance
For these selected runway directions, the Florida Department of Transportation reports a shorter landing distance available than takeoff run available. These figures help explain the planning question. They do not determine whether a particular aircraft can use an airport.
| Airport / runway | TORA | LDA | Government source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Naples APF / 05 | 5,800 ft | 5,000 ft | FDOT APF profile |
| Page Field FMY / 05 | 6,406 ft | 5,545 ft | FDOT FMY profile |
Selected directions only, not an airport ranking or a comparison of all runways. FDOT's directory is planning reference data. Crews use current aeronautical information, NOTAMs, weather, and aircraft performance calculations for flight decisions. A longer bar does not guarantee a better itinerary.
A Naples-specific planning detail
Plan around the airport's quiet hours
Naples Airport's published noise measures request voluntary restraint from flying from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. local time. This is voluntary guidance, not a statement that the airport closes during those hours.
For an evening trip, leave room for the drive to Burlington, boarding, taxiing, and possible delay. A plan aimed right at a quiet-hours boundary gives you little room if something changes. If a late meeting makes an evening departure necessary, give dispatch that constraint at the outset.
The authority's Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study explains the research behind its community noise planning. For passengers, the practical step is to agree on a considerate schedule and let the crew handle the current flight procedures.
Confirm fuel, passenger handling, and transport arrangements separately. A voluntary flying restriction and an FBO's service hours answer different questions.
Choose the cabin for the trip
Citation CJ1 or Citation CJ3?
Choose the aircraft around your group and baggage together. A couple traveling with weekend bags has a different request from a golf group with several travel covers. Describe the load before deciding that the seat count settles the choice.
Light jet
Citation CJ1
SkySouth publishes seating for four to five passengers, club seating, tables, refreshments, and an onboard lavatory. Discuss the CJ1 for a smaller group after confirming the bags and fuel plan.
From $2,900 / flight hour
View the CJ1 and its cabin
More cabin space
Citation CJ3
SkySouth publishes seating for six to seven passengers and a larger cabin than the CJ1, with tables, refreshments, and an onboard lavatory. Compare it when your group needs more cabin room.
From $3,500 / flight hour
View the CJ3 and its cabinPublished range and seating are reference specifications. Payload, baggage, fuel reserves, weather, runway conditions, and aircraft availability determine the approved trip. Request a nonstop plan if that matters to you; dispatch confirms whether it is feasible.
Golf trips and longer stays
Count the golf bags before choosing the jet
“Four passengers” is a useful start. “Four passengers, four golf travel covers, and four suitcases” is a better request. The shape of a hard case and the space it needs through a baggage door can matter as much as its weight.
Send the number of golf bags, whether the covers are hard or soft, and approximate dimensions. Include ordinary luggage, a stroller, mobility equipment, or anything unusually long. Photos can help explain a bulky item, but the crew still needs to approve the load.
For a seasonal stay, compare taking everything on the flight with sending some items ahead. Ask dispatch whether a smaller packing list changes the aircraft options. Arrange any separate shipping with the destination before committing to the flight.
Book a ground vehicle that fits the same load. A driver expecting passengers and carry-ons may need a different vehicle for several golf covers and suitcases.
Understand the quote
What does a Burlington to Naples charter cost?
The hourly aircraft rate is useful for an early conversation, but it is only one part of the price. Ask for a trip quote showing what is included and what can change if your itinerary changes.
At two billed hours, multiplying the published starting rates gives a flight component of $5,800 for the CJ1 or $7,000 for the CJ3. Two hours is an illustration here. It is not a confirmed billed duration or an all-in one-way fare for this route.
Aircraft positioning, minimum billable time, taxes, airport and FBO charges, fuel-related charges, crew expenses, catering, and ground transport may affect the total. A two-leg trip can also involve different flight durations and overnight or waiting costs.
For a fuller explanation of how charter pricing works, read SkySouth's private jet cost guide.
| Aircraft | Starting hourly rate | Rate × 2 hours |
|---|---|---|
| Citation CJ1 | $2,900 | $5,800 |
| Citation CJ3 | $3,500 | $7,000 |
Arithmetic examples only. No other charges are included.

Request the full trip priceBuild the travel day
Work back from the time you need to be there
About two hours airborne is a starting allowance, not the full journey. Add your drive to the departure FBO, the arrival time requested by dispatch, taxiing, and the transfer in Florida. Include a buffer if a meeting or event cannot move.
For a same-day return, tell dispatch when you can realistically leave Naples. Ask the team to price both legs together and discuss the return schedule alongside crew duty limits, handling arrangements, and weather. For a longer stay, compare a return flight with the outbound rather than simply doubling an hourly example.

Weather and seasonal planning
Leave room for a changing Florida forecast
The National Weather Service's Southwest Florida rainy-season guidance describes the region's warm-season rainfall and thunderstorm patterns. Its precipitation climatology research explains how local patterns inform forecasting. A seasonal pattern helps you plan flexibility; it does not predict the conditions for your flight.
Share fixed reservations before settling on the schedule. A golf tee time, a marina departure, and a business meeting each put a different constraint on the day. The crew evaluates the actual forecast and flight plan, including the return if you are flying home that evening.
For winter holidays, longer stays, or a golf weekend, send preferred dates and baggage details as soon as you know them. Dispatch can discuss aircraft availability and both directions of the trip. No season removes the possibility of weather or air traffic delays.
Make the first request useful
