Why a light jet fits the route

The trip is short by private-jet standards — about 950 nautical miles. Every light jet here carries more than 2,000 nautical miles of range, so it flies nonstop with a full cabin and reserves, even into a winter headwind.

A 45,000-foot ceiling puts it above much of the weather and the airline traffic over the Eastern Seaboard. Few smaller aircraft are faster; few faster ones cost less.

  • Nonstop New York to Miami, full seats, full reserves
  • The lowest hourly cost of any jet on the route
  • Access to close-in business fields like Teterboro
  • Sized for the two-and-a-half-hour flight

The aircraft to know

Three names carry most of the traffic: the Phenom 300E, the Citation CJ3+, and the Learjet 75. They differ in cabin length, luggage, and speed. Compare them below and we will quote the ones that suit your trip.

When to step up

More than six passengers, a full set of golf bags, or a wish for a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory — those point to a midsize jet. Tell us the party and the luggage and we will price both side by side.
