When a midsize jet is the right call.
Choose a midsize jet for four to eight passengers on three-to-four-hour sectors — Chicago–Nashville, New York–Palm Beach, Denver–Jackson Hole. This is where first-time charter clients usually land: enough airplane for a family weekend without super-mid pricing. Step up when you are crossing the country with a full load or want a flat-floor cabin and a galley.
