Decision guide
Choose or skip Light Jets
Choose this category when…
- Your passenger count sits around 4-7 and the trip profile matches Short business trips and city hops.
- You need roughly 2,000-3,500 km of practical range without paying for unused ultra-long-range capability.
- You want Light Jets availability with Wi‑Fi on about 100% of listed frames and up to 11 seats on the largest cabin.
Consider another category when…
- Your group or luggage clearly exceeds what this cabin class can carry comfortably.
- The longest leg is close to or beyond published range in real winds — step up a class.
- You only need a short hop for 1–2 passengers: a smaller cabin class will usually cost less.
