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.

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

Departing Morristown
Flying out of Morristown
Morristown is the answer for Morris, Somerset and Essex counties, and it is considerably less congested than Teterboro. If you are heading west of the Hudson rather than into the city, it is usually the better field and rarely the one people ask for.
- The right field for western New Jersey and the pharmaceutical corridor
- Materially quieter than Teterboro, with shorter taxi times
- No weight restriction, unlike Teterboro
Worth knowing before you plan
Morristown has no 100,000 lb weight limit, which makes it the practical Manhattan-area option for ultra-long-range aircraft that cannot use Teterboro. Worth knowing before booking a transatlantic departure.
Arriving Los Angeles
Van Nuys Airport
Van Nuys is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world and the practical private gateway to Los Angeles, particularly for anyone west or north of downtown.
- Avoids LAX, which is reason enough on its own
- The Valley, Malibu and the studios are all straightforward from here
- Transcontinental from the East Coast is a super-mid or heavy conversation

The Jet Configurator
Change the party size or the date
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.
