Alternative airports like Oakland International (OAK) or Boeing Field (BFI) in Seattle can offer cost advantages and less congestion. The typical client profile ranges from business executives to high-net-worth individuals seeking convenience and luxury. Fuel prices, aircraft availability, and crew logistics also play a crucial role in determining charter costs.
