How a midsize jet suits this trip
A midsize jet is the right fit for 1,414 nm with eight passengers aboard. The Hawker 800XP carries 8 with a 2,540 nm range and cruises at 447 kts; the Citation XLS+ carries the same 8 at 441 kts. Both have margin over the route distance, so no fuel stop is needed.
Super-midsize and heavy jets fly the same 3h 28m block but cost more; light jets and turboprops save money up front but add a stop. The midsize band of $19,000 to $28,500 sits between the two.

Leaving Minneapolis
KMSP has an 11,006 ft runway and is the practical default for this leg. It handles international departures and customs on the ground, which matters because Nassau is a foreign port. Flying Cloud, Anoka County-Blaine and Holman Field are closer for some Twin Cities travelers, but their runways run 5,000 to 6,491 ft, so confirm the aircraft before you book from there.
Arrive early enough for an international departure, since passport checks apply before boarding. Operators file the outbound manifest in advance, so send passenger names and passport details when you book, not on the day of travel.
Landing in Nassau
Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is the arrival point for every Nassau-bound charter. Its longest runway is 11,353 ft, which takes any aircraft in the fleet above. The airport sits a short drive west of downtown Nassau and the Paradise Island bridges.
CBP clears inbound passengers at NAS, so build the customs stop into your arrival time rather than treating it as extra. On the return, U.S. customs is handled at the first U.S. landing point. The operator handles the paperwork; you carry the passport.
| Airport | Code | Runway |
|---|---|---|
| Lynden Pindling International Airport | MYNN / NAS | 11,353 ft |
| Saint Paul Downtown Holman Field | KSTP / STP | 6,491 ft |
| Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport / Wold–Chamberlain Field | KMSP / MSP | 11,006 ft |
| Anoka County-Blaine (Janes Field) Airport | KANE | 5,000 ft |
| Flying Cloud Airport | KFCM / FCM | 5,001 ft |
When prices peak on this route
Winter and spring school breaks push Nassau demand and prices to the top of the band. Twin Cities travelers chase warm water and sunshine from January through April, and aircraft repositioning from Florida adds cost on short notice. A midsize estimate near $28,500 reflects a peak date; an off-peak Tuesday can land near $19,000.
Book four to six weeks out for winter departures, and expect the return leg to cost the same order of magnitude as the outbound. If you can move the trip to late spring or fall, then the same 1,414 nm leg often prices lower. For peak weeks, hold the aircraft with a deposit; empty legs out of Florida sometimes fill at a discount, but they are not reliable on a fixed date.
