To accommodate an Ivy League school tour along the East Coast in a single day, the team evaluated the most efficient routing. The proposed itinerary starts with a charter from Palm Beach to North Philadelphia Airport for a visit to the University of Pennsylvania, followed by travel to Trenton, New Jersey, for Princeton. To optimize time for the Columbia campus, the plan includes a helicopter charter, specifically a Sikorsky S76, to transport the client directly from Trenton to New York, with East 34th Street identified as the nearest landing point. The tour then proceeds to New Haven for Yale, Providence for Brown, Boston Logan for Harvard, and Lebanon, New Hampshire, for Dartmouth, before concluding in Ithaca, New York, for Cornell.
To manage this complex schedule, the team recommends securing two flight crews. Paying for an extra crew to remain on standby at specific locations ensures the aircraft can continue moving without delay. The total estimated cost for this private jet charter, utilizing a Challenger 350, is $87,000.
