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 Palm Springs
Palm Springs International Airport
Palm Springs is a strongly seasonal market that empties in July and fills from November, and the field sits minutes from the whole Coachella Valley. Summer heat is an operational factor rather than a comfort one.
- Minutes from the entire valley, from Palm Springs to La Quinta
- Season runs November to April — summer is genuinely quiet
- Extreme summer heat reduces aircraft performance on departure
Worth knowing before you plan
Summer afternoon temperatures in Palm Springs routinely reduce aircraft takeoff performance enough to matter — payload restrictions and early-morning departures are normal rather than exceptional. It is a real planning constraint, not a footnote.

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.
