301 nautical miles from Rick Husband Amarillo Intl to Centennial. All seven cabins hold this pair nonstop. Pick on seats, bags and cabin height, because range is not the constraint here.
What flies it
Block time here is gate to gate, and most of it is not cruise. Every row adds 21 minutes to the cruise leg for taxi, climb and approach, which on 301 nautical miles is a large share of the trip. A twin turboprop does it in 1h 20m against 1h 00m for a light jet, a difference of 20 minutes. Across the whole list the spread is 20 minutes, so on a hop this short the turboprops are a real answer rather than a compromise.
