About this flight

This empty leg charter flies a private jet from Scottsdale, Arizona, to Albuquerque, New Mexico, linking two of the Southwest's most popular desert destinations. The route crosses some of the region's most dramatic high-desert and mountain scenery, connecting Scottsdale's resort and golf culture with Albuquerque's rich blend of Native American heritage, Rio Grande valley landscapes, and the nearby Sandia Mountains. September is an ideal month for this route, as the desert heat of summer eases and New Mexico's famed Balloon Fiesta season approaches, drawing visitors from across the country. Scottsdale Airport's private aviation facilities offer a smooth, efficient departure well suited to this short regional hop.

The Citation Excel operating this leg is a midsize jet known for its stand-up cabin and strong short-to-medium-range performance, seating up to nine passengers in comfort. Its reliable handling at higher-altitude airports makes it well suited to the Southwest's elevated terrain, while its cabin offers generous legroom, a private lavatory, and ample space for luggage or golf equipment. The Excel remains one of the most widely used midsize jets for regional American charter, prized for balancing speed, comfort, and operational flexibility on routes like this one.

This empty leg exists because the aircraft is repositioning from Scottsdale to Albuquerque, offering a rare chance to fly this Southwest route privately without booking a dedicated charter. It is an excellent option for travellers heading to Albuquerque ahead of its busiest autumn season. The route delivers full midsize jet comfort on a fixed September date.

All went very well! Already planning next year's trip — might need a bigger jet for eight of us next time.
