1,550 nautical miles from New Braunfels National to King County Intl - Boeing Field. Range is the first filter on a pair this length. 4 of seven cabins clear it nonstop from New Braunfels National. The other 3 cabins still fly it with one stop.
What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 1,550 nautical miles range comes before cabin preference. The quickest cabin that holds it without stopping is a heavy jet at 3h 30m. 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 3h 50m in the table. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band rather than a brochure maximum.

The cabins that stop here are 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.
