2,331 nautical miles from Laurence G Hanscom Field to San Francisco Intl. 3 of our seven cabin classes make it without a fuel stop. The other 4 cabins can fly it with one, and dispatch will say so up front.
What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 2,331 nautical miles range comes before cabin preference. The quickest cabin that holds it without stopping is a heavy jet at 5h 05m. A light jet can still fly it with one fuel stop, and a stop is roughly forty minutes on the ground on top of the 5h 40m in the table. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band rather than a brochure maximum.
| Cabin | Passengers | Time | BED to SFO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Jet | 10 to 14 | 5h 05m | Nonstop |
| Super Midsize | 8 to 10 | 5h 15m | Nonstop |
| Midsize Jet | 8 to 9 | 5h 30m | Nonstop |
| Super Light Jet | 7 to 9 | 5h 30m | One fuel stop |
| Light Jet | 6 to 8 | 5h 40m | One fuel stop |
| Twin Turboprop | 6 to 9 | 7h 45m | One fuel stop |
| Single Turboprop | 6 to 9 | 8h 00m | One fuel stop |
The cabins that stop here are Super Light Jet, Light Jet, Twin Turboprop and Single Turboprop. The times above are air time, so add roughly forty minutes on the ground for the fuel stop. Moving up one cabin class removes it, and we will lay out both.
