The lineup

Slower than a jet but cheaper per hour, and happy on short island and mountain-valley runways. Ideal under 90 minutes.

6–9 seats~1,800 nmest. $1,800–3,200/hr

The default for two to six people on trips up to about three hours. Biggest choice of aircraft, so often the easiest to source at short notice.

6–8 seats2,000–2,150 nmest. $3,500–5,500/hr

Taller cabin and more bag space than a light jet with similar range. Good for bigger groups or bulky gear.

7–9 seats~2,100 nmest. $4,500–7,000/hr

Stand-up cabin and coast-to-coast range. The comfortable pick for long domestic flights.

8–10 seats3,200–4,000 nmest. $6,500–9,500/hr

Transatlantic legs, separate seating areas and room for a cabin attendant on longer trips.

10–16 seats4,000–4,300 nmest. $8,500–13,000/hr

The longest legs nonstop, such as New York to Dubai. Only worth it when the distance needs it.

13–19 seats7,500–7,700 nmest. $12,000–20,000+/hr

Choosing

Seat counts assume light luggage. Skis, golf bags and big suitcases can push you up a size.

Headwinds and full cabins shorten it. Near the limit, compare a quick fuel stop with the next size up.

A lower hourly rate can lose once positioning and fees are added. Compare all-in numbers only.
