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.

Each of these covers the routing nonstop with the cabin filled — checked against realistic full-cabin range, not a manufacturer headline.
Super-Mid Jets
3h 57m – 4h 33m
More cabin, more baggage and a faster cruise. Worth the additional hours if the flight is long or the party is traveling heavy.

Departing Telluride
Flying out of Telluride
Telluride is the highest commercial airport in the United States at 9,070 ft, on a mesa, with terrain on both sides. It is spectacular, it is demanding, and it is closed more often than anyone planning a ski week would like.
- The alternative is Montrose and a 65-minute mountain drive
- The highest commercial field in the country — performance limits are real
- Weather closures are frequent; Montrose is the standing alternate
Worth knowing before you plan
At 9,070 ft, aircraft performance is significantly reduced and many aircraft simply cannot operate here at useful payloads. We will tell you plainly when the honest answer is Montrose and a drive — and quite often it is.
Arriving Nantucket
Nantucket Memorial Airport
Nantucket is the clearest demonstration of what private aviation is actually for. The alternative is a connection and a ferry, and in summer the difference between the two is measured in half-days.
- Turns a half-day journey into an hour from the Northeast
- Extremely seasonal — July and August book out early
- Fog is a genuine operational factor, and we plan for it
Worth knowing before you plan
Nantucket fog is not a cliché — it closes the airport with real frequency in early summer. We plan alternates in advance rather than improvising, and we would rather tell you the risk beforehand than manage your disappointment afterwards.

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.
