Finally added up the costs of flying on Reel Deal airlines.
Fuel: $486.09
POP fees: $170.00
Engine Time @$10/hour: $120
The POP fees were broken down as follows...
$100 for parking for 9 days
$20 the exit charge the DR charges everyone but we only paid for one. (AA/JetBlue includes this in the ticket fee)
$30 for Airport Personnel Overtime (eventhough no one extra was there)
$20 for FBO costs.
So the total was $776.09 total. That is $388.05 each for 2 or $258.70 for 3 people. Not to bad if I say so.
We skipped a couple charges and had some BULLSHIT charges!
We did not pay for a tourist visa (-$10 each)
We only paid one exit fee (-$20)
We did make the mistake of landing in Nassau to re-fuel and eventhough we were only getting gas we had to go through customs which was $35 each. (+$70)
Also in Nassau they "lost" our flight plan so we had to refile it, I forgot the cost.
Next time we are skipping Nassau and re-fueling stateside in West Palm Beach or somewhere similar.
The view you get flying at 7,000 feet, PRICELESS!
The service you get a POP when you are MUY IMPORTANTE flying in privately: PRICELESS!
The fact you get to skip TSA Security, PRICELESS is a HUGE understatement!
