With a full cabin

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.
Mid-Size Jets
2h 21m – 2h 42m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.

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 Philadelphia
Northeast Philadelphia Airport
Northeast Philadelphia is the general aviation field for the city and the Bucks County corridor, and it avoids PHL entirely — which on a weekday afternoon is worth a great deal more than the ten miles it costs you.
- Avoids Philadelphia International and its delay programs
- Central to Bucks County and the northern suburbs
- A comfortable light-jet leg to both Florida and the Midwest

The Jet Configurator
Change the party size or the date
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.
