About an hour and fifty-five minutes from Savannah/Hilton Head International or Hilton Head Island to Teterboro, then 25 to 40 minutes by car to Midtown. Indicative one way from $11,500 for the whole aircraft, in a light jet.

Savannah/Hilton Head International to Teterboro is 626 nautical miles, 721 statute miles, up the Atlantic coast. Every cabin flies it non-stop, and both cities are on Eastern time, so a 3 pm departure from Savannah lands at Teterboro just before 5 pm with no clock to adjust.
Most flights on this pair are the return north: after a weekend in the historic district, a week at Sea Pines or The Cloister, a round at Harbour Town in Heritage week, or the holidays on the coast. The Sunday after Thanksgiving and the first days of January are the busiest departures of the year, so we book the return with the outbound.
Savannah/Hilton Head International takes any cabin and is Gulfstream's home airfield. Hilton Head Island Airport is fifteen minutes from Sea Pines and takes light and midsize jets; McKinnon St. Simons Island serves Sea Island.
Which New York airport to land at is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in New York: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Savannah/Hilton Head International is the departure for the city, Tybee Island and any party in a super-midsize or heavy jet. Its 9,351 ft runway takes every business jet, and its private terminals, Signature and Sheltair, are fifteen to twenty minutes from the squares of the historic district. From Sea Pines it is about an hour by car.
Hilton Head Island Airport saves that hour for the island. Its 5,000 ft runway has a weight limit of 75,000 lb on dual wheels, so we plan light and midsize jets from there, with Signature as the private terminal. From Sea Island and St. Simons, McKinnon's 5,584 ft runway suits the same cabins, about fifteen minutes from The Cloister. Both are domestic departures, so nothing is cleared on the way north.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; handling, parking and any positioning are quoted separately once we know your dates.
Aircraft based in New York often fly to the coast empty to collect a return, so a round trip with the aircraft waiting, or timed with a client heading south, can cost less than two one-way flights.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Prices are for Savannah/Hilton Head International to Teterboro. Hilton Head Island and McKinnon take light and midsize jets and are quoted on the same basis.
Savannah/Hilton Head International handles most of the coast's private departures, with customs on the field and a runway for any business jet. Hilton Head Island Airport serves the island, and McKinnon St. Simons Island serves Sea Island and the Golden Isles.
A 9,351 ft runway, so VIP airliners land here. Gulfstream's headquarters and service centre are on the field. US customs clears private arrivals at an inspection station on the airport, generally around the clock, with permission to land requested an hour before departure.
A 5,000 ft runway, lengthened in 2018, with a weight limit of 75,000 lb on dual wheels: we plan light and midsize jets here and land larger cabins at Savannah. No customs; international arrivals clear at Savannah first. The FAA code is HXD.
A 5,584 ft runway for light and midsize jets, about an hour and a quarter south of Savannah by car. No customs for private arrivals; clear at Savannah first.
Teterboro is the usual New York arrival for anything up to an ultra-long-range jet. VIP airliners and most international customs arrivals use JFK or Newark; Westchester is the quieter option for the Upper East Side and Connecticut.
Flying private to New York from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Which New York airport to land at: the private jet airports compared
The busiest private airport in the US. No aircraft may weigh more than 100,000 lb on the day, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary quiet hours 11 pm to 6 am; customs at Jet Aviation or Hangar 1, 7.30 am to 11.15 pm.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs at the FBO. Operators are asked not to fly between midnight and 6.30 am.
Customs around the clock, no weight limit, and the only FBO is Signature. Useful when Teterboro is closed by weather or a security restriction.
Choose the coastal airport by where you are staying and the New York one by where you are going. Every pair flies non-stop in about two hours.

A light jet such as the Phenom 300 suits four to six passengers, and flies from Hilton Head Island as easily as from Savannah. A family with golf bags and holiday luggage moves up to a midsize or super-midsize jet; a heavy jet such as the Falcon 2000LXS suits ten or more, from Savannah's long runway.
Six or seven seats and about two hours to Teterboro, from Savannah, Hilton Head Island or St. Simons.
See the Phenom 300Seven to nine seats, a stand-up aisle and room for golf bags: the Citation XLS+ or Latitude, the Challenger 350 or Praetor 600.

See the Falcon 2000LXSNew York's private airports run near capacity all year. On these dates a temporary flight restriction or a slot programme can change the airport you use, so we plan them early.
The flight south from New York to Savannah takes about the same two hours, a little less with the usual tailwind, and lands at Savannah/Hilton Head International or, in a light or midsize jet, straight at Hilton Head Island. Teterboro is usually the cheaper end to start from, because most aircraft on this pair are based in New York.
