With a full cabin
Estimates are computed from great-circle distance, published cruise speeds, and modeled allowances for routing, climb, descent and prevailing winds — the same engine the configurator uses. 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.
Super-Mid Jets
4h 43m – 5h 26m
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 Sun Valley
Friedman Memorial Airport
Friedman Memorial serves Sun Valley and Ketchum, and it is one of the more demanding fields in the mountain west — a single approach in a valley, with weather that closes it more often than visitors expect.
- The alternative is Boise or Twin Falls and a two-to-three hour drive
- Single-approach valley field — weather diversions are a genuine risk
- Crew experience at this specific field matters, and we verify it
Worth knowing before you plan
SUN has terrain-driven approach limitations and diverts to Twin Falls with some regularity in winter. Anyone quoting this field without mentioning that is not being straight with you.

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.
