About this flight

This empty leg private jet charter connects Raton, New Mexico, with Montrose, Colorado, tracing a scenic path through the southern Rocky Mountains as autumn colour begins to spread across the high country. The route links a quiet gateway to northeastern New Mexico's ranchlands with Montrose, a well-known access point for the San Juan Mountains, Telluride, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison. September travel along this corridor is popular with those heading into Colorado's ski country ahead of the season or seeking early autumn mountain scenery. Flying private removes the need for lengthy mountain road transfers between these two smaller regional airports, both of which see limited scheduled airline service.

A Citation Excel midsize jet operates this leg, offering seating for up to nine passengers in a cabin designed for comfort over regional distances. Its strong performance at higher-elevation airports makes it a practical choice for mountain destinations like Raton and Montrose, where runway conditions and altitude can challenge smaller aircraft. Onboard, passengers enjoy a stand-up cabin, comfortable leather seating, and enough space for skis, luggage, or outdoor gear typical of a Rocky Mountain trip. The Excel's reliability and range have made it a favourite for private aviation across the American West.

This empty leg exists purely because the aircraft is repositioning between Raton and Montrose, giving travellers on this date access to midsize jet comfort on a route rarely available through standard charter. It is an ideal option for anyone planning early-season mountain travel in Colorado. Booking this leg secures a direct, private alternative to the long drive between these two destinations.
