What is a midsize jet?
A midsize jet seats 7 to 9 and flies about 2,000 to 2,600 nm, which covers trips of two to five hours such as Delhi to Dubai or New York to Miami. Common models include the Cessna Citation XLS+ and Citation Latitude, Embraer Praetor 500, Learjet 75 and Hawker 800XP.
Against a light jet, it adds cabin room, an enclosed lavatory, more bags and, on newer models, a cabin you can stand in. Against a super-midsize jet, it has less range and a narrower cabin, and costs less an hour.

Is a midsize jet right for your trip?
2 to 5 hours with 4 to 8 people: the class fits best.
Under about 2 hours with 4 people or fewer: a light jet costs less.
Over about 5 hours, or more than 8 people: a super-midsize jet.
If standing up matters, check the cabin height column above: it differs by model.
