24 May Manchester to Grosetto
Falcona organised a family private jet charter flight on a Cessna Citation XLS+ from Manchester to Grosetto in Italy for a few days of wine tasting for a regular client.
Enquiry
Can I get a quote from you for the following, it’s not as straightforward as my normal booking for 2 passengers
Wednesday 15th May – AM departure from Manchester to Cambridge to pick up 2 additional passengers and then onward to Siena airport in Italy
Return on Sunday 19th May – pm departure- we will be in a different part of Tuscany so would like to depart from Grossetto Airport into Cambridge to drop off and then on to Manchester
As you know, we normally travel in a CJ2 or equivalent but I just want to make you aware that one of our guests is very tall – might that be an issue for a CJ2?
I would also be grateful if you could give me a price for the trip omitting the pick up and drop off in Cambridge so I can get a feel and comparison against our normal trip.
We don’t want to fly into Florence– the traffic there is a nightmare and it would be about 2 hours travelling to our destination as we’re not staying in Siena but thought that airport nearest. Have you any other suggestions? It might be easier to go in and out of Grossetto Let me know your thoughts.
As I have transport and timings to arrange at my end I would be grateful if could forward me today a schedule of timings for departure and arrival, call sign for the plane(s) and contact details for crew and handling agents at all airports As you will recall I want to depart Manchester at 8am local time next Wednesday

Client Review
“Hi
We enjoyed the flight out, but however the catering wasn’t up to the standard we had expected and we were disappointed in that aspect of it. Everything else was great.”
