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

Departing Scottsdale
Flying out of Scottsdale
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.
Arriving Key West
Key West International Airport
Key West is the clearest case in Florida for flying privately: the alternative is either a connection or a four-hour drive down US-1 behind traffic that does not move. Forty minutes from Miami by air.
- Replaces a four-hour drive or a connection with a forty-minute flight
- Extremely popular in winter and around events — book early
- Runway and ramp space favour light and mid-size aircraft
Worth knowing before you plan
EYW has a 4,801 ft runway and limited ramp space. Light and mid-size jets operate routinely; larger aircraft are frequently restricted on payload or turned away at busy periods. This is a field where aircraft selection is not a preference, it is a constraint.

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.
