Which jet class do you actually need?
Choosing between two jets comes down to three questions: how many passengers, how far, and how much cabin do you want to live in during the flight. Here is the quick answer by mission.
How to compare two private jets
New to private aviation? Spec sheets can be misleading if you read them in isolation. Here is what actually matters when you put two aircraft side by side.
The four numbers that decide it
- Range with your passenger load. Published range assumes a light load. A jet quoted at 3,200 nm may fly closer to 2,900 nm with a full cabin, so keep a 10% margin over your longest planned sector.
- Cabin height, not just length. Above roughly 1.75 m, most passengers can stand and move naturally. That single number changes how a 4-hour flight feels more than any seat count.
- Hourly rate versus trip cost. A faster jet can close the gap: on a long sector, a super midsize that saves 25 minutes offsets part of its higher hourly rate against a midsize.
- Runway performance. Some airports that matter, Saint-Tropez, Samedan, London City, have short runways. A smaller jet or turboprop sometimes gets you closer than a larger one.
What the comparison cannot show
Interior condition, Wi-Fi, galley equipment and crew experience vary aircraft by aircraft, not model by model. When two jets look equal on paper, your Elysium Jet advisor compares the actual tail numbers available for your dates.
