Route Overview
The NAS to ORL corridor covers 300 nautical miles. At approximately 1h 08m in the air, a private jet compresses this trip into a fraction of the time commercial passengers spend on check-in, security, boarding, and ground transportation. Lynden Pindling International Airport handles departure; Orlando Executive Airport handles arrival, both with FBO ramp access that puts you steps from your vehicle.
Private Jet vs. Commercial: Nassau to Orlando
The private versus commercial comparison on Nassau to Orlando highlights why charter clients rarely go back to airline terminals:
| Factor | Private Jet (NAS → ORL) | Commercial (NAS → ORL (commercial equivalents)) |
|---|---|---|
| Door-to-door time | ~2.1 hours total | 4-6 hours total |
| Airport arrival | 15 min before departure | 90-120 min before departure |
| Security screening | None — drive to aircraft | TSA checkpoint (15-45 min) |
| Flight time | 1h 08m direct | 2h – 3h (plus airport time) |
| Luggage | Unlimited, no fees, with you | Baggage fees, wait at carousel |
| Schedule flexibility | Depart on your schedule | Fixed airline timetable |
| Privacy | Complete privacy | Shared cabin with 150+ passengers |
| Pets | In-cabin, no restrictions | Cargo hold or size restrictions |
| Ground transfer | Direct to destination | 45-90 min |
| Cost (per person, 4 pax) | ~$1,250 per person | ~$150-400 per person |
For round trips, the economics become even more compelling. Two days of commercial overhead versus two 1h 08m private flights with same-day return capability.
Route Intelligence
The Nassau to Orlando corridor covers 300 nautical miles. Below is the charter intelligence for this route, including cost factors, aircraft recommendations, and scheduling considerations.
Short-Haul Economics
At 300 nautical miles, this is a short-haul route where private aviation's time advantage is most dramatic. Commercial alternatives on this corridor require 2 to 4 hours of airport overhead (security, boarding, baggage claim) for what is a 1h 08m flight by private jet. The per-person cost drops rapidly with group size: a $5,000 light jet split four ways costs $1,250 per person.
Cost Optimization
Round-trip charters eliminate the empty-leg repositioning fee that adds 30 to 50% to one-way pricing. If your schedule permits same-day or next-day return, book round-trip for the best economics. The aircraft waits at the destination during your stay, and you avoid the positioning cost entirely.
Booking Process
Most charter bookings on this route confirm within 24 hours. Provide departure date, approximate time, passenger count, and luggage requirements. We return 2 to 4 aircraft options with firm pricing. No back-and-forth negotiation. Each quote includes all fees: positioning, landing, overnight (if applicable), and FET.
Aircraft Selection
Super-midsize jets (Challenger 350, Citation Latitude, Gulfstream G280) bridge the gap between midsize comfort and heavy jet capability. Flat-floor cabins, 3,000+ nm range, and 8 to 10 passenger capacity make them the choice for this corridor when comfort, speed, and group size all matter.
Passenger Experience
Private charter between Nassau and Orlando eliminates every friction point of commercial travel. No check-in counter. No TSA line. No middle seat. No connection. No lost luggage. Door-to-door time on this route drops by 3 to 5 hours compared to commercial alternatives, even before factoring in schedule flexibility.
Schedule Planning
Red-eye departures on this corridor are available when schedule demands it. Private charter operates 24/7, departing whenever you need to leave. Late-night flights between Nassau and Orlando often cost less due to lower demand, and FBO ramp fees are typically waived for short ground times. Crew duty time limits may apply on very late departures.
Charter Pricing by Aircraft Category
Charter pricing from Nassau (NAS) to Orlando (ORL) depends on three variables: aircraft size, scheduling, and season. Below are estimated one-way rates for this 300-nautical-mile route:
| Category | One-Way Price | Round-Trip | Passengers | Example Aircraft |

Time Analysis: Private vs. Commercial
A private jet covers the 300 NM between NAS and ORL in 1h 08m. Total door-to-door time: approximately 1.5 hours (15-minute FBO arrival on each end).
Commercial travel on this corridor consumes approximately 4.4 hours door-to-door when you account for the 90-minute early arrival, TSA screening, boarding, taxi, flight, taxi, deplane, and baggage claim. That's a net time recovery of 180 minutes per trip by chartering.
For round trips, the savings double. Two commercial segments consume roughly 8.8 hours of your day. Two private jet segments: 2.8 hours. The difference compounds for frequent travelers on this routing.
Seasonal Considerations
- Peak Season (Year-round with peaks during holidays and conventions): Highest demand and prices. PGA Tour events, Daytona 500 feeder drive volume. Book 1-2 weeks in advance.
- Off-Season (Off-peak months): Lower demand, better rates. More empty leg availability.
- Weather: Weather can affect scheduling. Flexible dates recommended for the best experience.

The 1h 08m flight from NAS to ORL is the easy part. It's the elimination of everything around the flight that makes chartering transformative for family travel.
