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 Philadelphia
Flying out of Philadelphia
Northeast Philadelphia is the general aviation field for the city and the Bucks County corridor, and it avoids PHL entirely — which on a weekday afternoon is worth a great deal more than the ten miles it costs you.
- Avoids Philadelphia International and its delay programs
- Central to Bucks County and the northern suburbs
- A comfortable light-jet leg to both Florida and the Midwest
Arriving Vail
Eagle County Regional Airport
Eagle County serves Vail and Beaver Creek with a longer runway and fewer restrictions than Aspen, which makes it the better answer for larger aircraft and for winter reliability.
- Handles larger aircraft than Aspen comfortably
- Thirty-five minutes from Vail, an hour from Beaver Creek
- Better all-weather reliability than ASE in winter

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.
