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 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 Scottsdale
Scottsdale Airport
Scottsdale is one of the busiest general aviation fields in the western United States and the obvious answer for north Phoenix, Paradise Valley and the resort corridor. Its peak is spectacular and short.
- Central to Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the resort corridor
- Avoids Sky Harbor, which is a meaningful saving at most hours
- Spring training and major golf weeks are extraordinary demand peaks
Worth knowing before you plan
Scottsdale has a 8,249 ft runway that takes most aircraft comfortably, but ramp space during the Phoenix Open and spring training is the binding constraint. Those weeks need planning in weeks.

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.
