Midsize jet
Midsize jets seat seven to nine in cabins tall enough for most people to stand, with an enclosed lavatory, a real galley and ranges of 2,000–2,800 nautical miles: the Citation Latitude and XLS+, Learjet 60, Hawker 800/900 and Embraer Praetor 500 are typical. They are the sweet spot for three- to five-hour flights such as New York to Los Angeles with a stop, London to Marrakech or Singapore to Hong Kong, at charter rates of $6,000–$8,000 an hour. Compared with a light jet the extra cost buys standing headroom, more luggage and quieter, more comfortable long sectors, which is why midsize aircraft are the most common charter choice for business travel.
