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 Nassau
Flying out of Nassau
Nassau is under an hour from South Florida and is the busiest private aviation gateway in the Bahamas. The flying is trivially short; the paperwork is the part that needs handling properly.
- Under an hour from South Florida — a light jet is more than enough
- The gateway to the Out Islands, most of which are short hops on
- Customs, immigration and inbound declarations need arranging in advance
Worth knowing before you plan
International arrival requires customs and immigration processing and, for Bahamas arrivals, an inbound declaration filed ahead of time. It is routine and it is not automatic — we handle it, and a broker who does not mention it is one to ask harder questions of.
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.
