617 nautical miles from Fort Worth Meacham Intl to Eagle County Regional. 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 is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 617 nautical miles a light jet and a midsize land within 5 minutes of each other, 1h 45m against 1h 40m. 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.
