As a passenger on the Piper Seneca, the new and responsive handling make sit a very comfortable flight, thanks to the long ailerons and perfectly weighted stabilizer. The cabin comes with a full lavatory and can fit over 67 cubic feet of luggage, and comes with an optional entertainment station.

The Seneca travels at roughly 180 knots, which makes it a bit slower than some of the other light aircraft charter options, but provides stable and comfortable support to make the flight gentle and relaxing. The flight uses the popular Continental IO-360 engine with an intercooler, and its powerful performance makes it a great flight option for over-water and night travel.
