The Citation CJ3+ on the New York–Miami route
The CJ3+ carries 2,040 nautical miles of range, so the 950-mile New York–Miami leg is well within nonstop reach with a full cabin and reserves. Plan on about two and three-quarter hours in the air at its Mach 0.74 cruise.
Its efficient Williams FJ44 engines and single-pilot certification keep operating costs — and therefore charter rates — among the lowest in the class, which is why it is a favorite for cost-conscious corporate and leisure trips on this route.
Cabin and luggage
The 15-foot-8-inch cabin seats six to seven in a club layout with a refreshment console and an in-flight-accessible luggage area holding 65 cubic feet — comfortably enough for a long-weekend group.
The Garmin G3000 flight deck and a quiet, well-insulated cabin make for a relaxed, low-fatigue ride down the Eastern Seaboard.
