How a super-midsize jet suits this trip
For this 1,987-mile leg, a super-midsize jet is the practical choice. It flies nonstop in 4 hours 9 minutes and carries up to 9 passengers — enough for a family or a small group of friends. The Gulfstream G280 and Citation X+ both fit this mission with range to spare. A super-midsize jet like the G280 makes the 1,987 miles nonstop from Minneapolis to Providenciales.
Light and midsize jets cost less upfront but need a fuel stop, so they can't match the nonstop time. A heavy jet also goes nonstop but costs more; choose it only if you need more cabin space or luggage capacity.
