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

2h 36m – 2h 59m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.
Departing Key West
Key West is the clearest case in Florida for flying privately: the alternative is either a connection or a four-hour drive down US-1 behind traffic that does not move. Forty minutes from Miami by air.
EYW has a 4,801 ft runway and limited ramp space. Light and mid-size jets operate routinely; larger aircraft are frequently restricted on payload or turned away at busy periods. This is a field where aircraft selection is not a preference, it is a constraint.
Arriving Dallas
Addison sits in the middle of North Dallas business and residential density, which makes it a materially better answer than Love Field for most trips into the metroplex.
Flying Key West to Dallas more than a few times a year? The Velocity Jet Card fixes the terms in advance — or see how a card compares with charter, fractional and ownership, including where a card is the wrong answer.
The Jet Configurator
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.

Questions
Approximately 2h 42m – 3h 06m in a light jet, over about 939 nautical miles direct. That is an estimated range including taxi time — winds and routing move it either way, and westbound legs typically run longer than eastbound.
For six passengers, a light jet — Cessna Citation CJ3+ or a Embraer Phenom 300E — covers this route nonstop and uses the fewest hours doing it. A mid gives you more cabin and a faster cruise at around 2h 36m – 2h 59m.
We typically use Key West International Airport (EYW) for Key West and Addison Airport (ADS) for Dallas. Alternatives are available at both ends and are sometimes the better answer depending on where you are actually going.
We do not publish charter prices, because a price without live operator availability behind it is a guess rather than a quote. Tell us the date and party size and you will have a real number, usually the same day.
