What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 1,286 nautical miles range comes before cabin preference. The quickest cabin that holds it without stopping is a heavy jet at 3h 00m. A light jet holds it nonstop at 3h 15m, 15 minutes behind the heavy jet. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band rather than a brochure maximum.
