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.

Departing Charleston
Flying out of Charleston
Charleston has become one of the busiest private aviation destinations in the Southeast, driven by weddings, golf and a steady flow of second homes on Kiawah and Seabrook. Peak weekends now behave like a resort market rather than a regional city.
- A comfortable light-jet leg from the Northeast and from South Florida
- Charleston Executive is materially closer to Kiawah and Seabrook
- Event weekends see resort-level demand — notice matters
Arriving Vail
Eagle County Regional Airport
Eagle County serves Vail and Beaver Creek with a longer runway and fewer restrictions than Aspen, which makes it the better answer for larger aircraft and for winter reliability.
- Handles larger aircraft than Aspen comfortably
- Thirty-five minutes from Vail, an hour from Beaver Creek
- Better all-weather reliability than ASE in winter

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.
