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

Departing Fort Lauderdale
Flying out of Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale Executive is a dedicated general aviation field with the FBO depth that comes with it, which makes it the easiest South Florida departure for anything needing full ground services. FLL handles the larger aircraft.
- A purpose-built general aviation field, not a corner of an airline airport
- Excellent FBO services and short taxi times
- Central to the Broward corridor and the marine industry
Arriving Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole Airport
Jackson Hole is the only commercial airport inside a US national park, and it operates like it — high elevation, mountainous terrain, serious winter weather and a ramp that fills completely over the holidays.
- The alternative is Idaho Falls or Salt Lake and a long mountain drive
- High-elevation performance genuinely affects payload and runway requirements
- Christmas and New Year demand is among the most extreme in the country
Worth knowing before you plan
JAC sits at 6,451 ft, which reduces aircraft performance meaningfully — an aircraft that manages a trip at sea level may not manage it here at the same payload. Winter closures happen. We plan alternates in advance and verify crew experience at this specific field.

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.
