The Citation XLS+ on the New York–Miami route
A 2,100-nautical-mile range and a 441-knot cruise put the New York–Miami flight at about two and a half hours nonstop. A 45,000-foot ceiling lets it cruise above much of the weather, and a short takeoff requirement opens the close-in business airports at both ends.
Cabin and luggage
The 18-foot-6 cabin offers full standing height at five-foot-eight, an enclosed lavatory and a refreshment galley — a genuine step up in comfort for this trip. Around 90 cubic feet of luggage handles golf bags and full-size cases for a group of up to eight.
