They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Each of these covers the routing nonstop with the cabin filled — checked against realistic full-cabin range, not a manufacturer headline.

Departing Boca Raton
Flying out of Boca Raton
Boca Raton is where Velocity Jets is based, and BCT is the field we know better than any other. It sits within twenty minutes of most of east Boca and Delray, which is the entire argument for using it rather than driving to Fort Lauderdale.
- BCT puts you fifteen minutes from home rather than an hour from a terminal
- The Northeast corridor is a comfortable light-jet leg from here
- Winter season demand makes availability the constraint, not aircraft choice
Worth knowing before you plan
BCT has a single 6,276 ft runway, which comfortably handles light and mid-size jets. Heavy jets and some super-mids operate from PBI or FXE instead — we will tell you which field your aircraft needs rather than letting you find out on the day.
Arriving Nantucket
Nantucket Memorial Airport
Nantucket is the clearest demonstration of what private aviation is actually for. The alternative is a connection and a ferry, and in summer the difference between the two is measured in half-days.
- Turns a half-day journey into an hour from the Northeast
- Extremely seasonal — July and August book out early
- Fog is a genuine operational factor, and we plan for it
Worth knowing before you plan
Nantucket fog is not a cliché — it closes the airport with real frequency in early summer. We plan alternates in advance rather than improvising, and we would rather tell you the risk beforehand than manage your disappointment afterwards.

The configurator checks routed distance against realistic full-cabin range, so it will never recommend an aircraft that cannot actually make the trip with everyone aboard.
