Service Details

When it's necessary to move your shipment a long distance in a short amount of time, NextFlight offers a great way to reduce transit time. There are more than 28,000 domestic commercial flights each day. By linking our network of agents with these flights, we can move your shipments anywhere in the United States within one day, in most cases.

First, we locate the airports nearest both the origin and destination. Next, we identify the optimal flight(s) departing and arriving at these airports as well as the drive time to and from each. With this information, we immediately dispatch the driver nearest the shipment origin. The shipment is picked up, taken to the airport and tendered to the optimized flight. Upon flight arrival, we retrieve your shipment and deliver it to the final destination.

Check Flight Availability

You can get rates and transit times to and from any U.S. zip-code. These rates and transit times are dependent upon commercial flight availability. Changing the pickup time and/or date will impact estimates.

This service is heavily regulated by the U.S. Government. Certain restrictions apply. For more information regarding availability please call us at 1-800-716-7151.
