A short hop to a European capital, a family trip with luggage, an island transfer or a long-haul nonstop flight do not require the same aircraft.

We compare distance, passengers, baggage volume, runway constraints and expected comfort level to recommend an aircraft that fits the route, not just the most impressive model.

Distance

Light jet, midsize or long range depending on the true route profile.

Cabin

Comfort, cabin height, baggage and passenger configuration.
