Why a light jet fits this trip
For this 1,088-nautical-mile leg, a light jet is the best fit for most Boston to Miami trips; the Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 can make the nonstop run with seven passengers and has a range of 2,165 nautical miles. The HondaJet Elite II is another option for up to five passengers. Light jets balance range and cost better than turboprops, which take over four hours, and they cost less than midsize and heavy jets while still offering a comfortable cabin for the nearly three-hour flight. With a light jet, you get a range of 2,165 nautical miles and a cabin height of 4 feet 9 inches, enough for a comfortable nonstop trip.
If you need more cabin space or a longer range for side trips, consider a midsize or super-midsize jet. A super-midsize jet will cut the flight time to 2 hours 44 minutes and provide a larger cabin, with estimates from $19,500. Heavy jets offer the most space and amenities, such as a full galley and berthing, but come at a higher price. For most travelers on this route, the light jet offers the best combination of efficiency and value. A midsize jet offers a step up in comfort with a cabin height of 5 feet 8 inches for those who prefer more room.
