Choosing

For the run from New York

Teterboro to Palm Beach takes about two and a half hours. A light jet manages it comfortably for a small party traveling light, but many households prefer a midsize jet or larger: more headroom, a proper aisle and a hold that takes a season’s luggage without negotiation.

From Boston, Chicago and further afield, range starts to matter. A super-midsize jet makes those trips nonstop in most conditions; your advisor confirms the planned routing with the operator.

For short hops within Florida or to the Bahamas, a turboprop is efficient and well suited to smaller airports.
