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.

Departing Los Cabos
Flying out of Los Cabos
Los Cabos is the West Coast’s most-flown international private destination — a comfortable light-jet leg from Los Angeles and a mid-size leg from Texas, with peaks around every major American holiday.
- A light-jet leg from Los Angeles; mid-size from Texas
- Mexican customs, immigration and overflight permits handled in advance
- Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring break are extreme demand peaks
Worth knowing before you plan
Flights into Mexico require an APIS filing, a Mexican overflight or landing permit and customs processing on arrival. All routine, all needing lead time, and all handled before you leave rather than discovered at the ramp.
Arriving Key West
Key West International Airport
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.
- Replaces a four-hour drive or a connection with a forty-minute flight
- Extremely popular in winter and around events — book early
- Runway and ramp space favour light and mid-size aircraft
Worth knowing before you plan
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.

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.
