1,043 nautical miles from William P. Hobby to Washington Dulles Intl. 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 1,043 nautical miles a light jet and a midsize land within 5 minutes of each other, 2h 45m against 2h 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.
