Hi Tis, there are quite a few private flights from Laconia to Florida and other destinations. Net Jets is one of the most frequent operators running these trips, but there are several others as well. Average cost right now is running about $10,000 per hour for a mid-size jet, so the trip from Laconia to Florida is running about $30,000.

I see a lot of "net jets" flying in and out so I guess they are based somewhere else and just fly into Laconia? 30 is a lot, lot of money, but if three or four couples split the cost, it wouldn't be as bad.

At $30k, three couples would each pay $10k.

I will gladly drive a couple down to FL for half of that and provide 60's/70's music, snacks, drinks and Dramamine.

The singing of mangled or out of order lyrics will require additional tip!

It's all about supply and demand. I'm looking at some prices in early to mid January from Laconia to Naples, FL, and the prices are coming in at around $20K. What a deal!

I used "Lakeside Limo" a couple of times for that route. Their rates were pretty decent.
