Decision guide

Choose or skip Very Light Jets

Choose this category when…

  • Your passenger count sits around 2-4 and the trip profile matches Short hops, city pairs, solo trips.
  • You need roughly 1,500-2,500 km of practical range without paying for unused ultra-long-range capability.
  • You want Very Light Jets availability with Wi‑Fi on about 94% of listed frames and up to 7 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.
