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

Departing Miami
Flying out of Miami
Opa-locka is Miami private aviation. It is the busiest general aviation field in the region and the natural gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean, with the customs and handling infrastructure that implies.
- The primary private gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America
- Customs and international handling on the field
- Avoids Miami International entirely, which is worth a great deal
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.
