829 nautical miles from Chicago Executive to William P. Hobby. Every cabin class we fly does it without stopping, so the aircraft is chosen by how many seats and how much bag you need, not by range.
What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 829 nautical miles a light jet and a midsize land within 5 minutes of each other, 2h 15m against 2h 10m. The midsize is bought here for cabin height and bag space, not for speed. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band, so this column is a number dispatch can hold to rather than a brochure maximum.
