What is a super-midsize jet?
A super-midsize jet seats 8 to 10 in a stand-up cabin with a flat floor and flies about 3,000 to 4,000 nm non-stop: enough to cross the US coast to coast or fly Mumbai to Singapore without a stop. Common models are the Bombardier Challenger 350, Cessna Citation Longitude and Citation X, Dassault Falcon 2000 and Gulfstream G280.
Against a midsize jet, it adds range, a wider cabin and room for more bags. Against a heavy jet, it gives up the third zone and the beds and costs less an hour, which makes it the usual pick for flights of 3 to 7 hours.

One way, flight time only: the quote adds positioning, airport charges and Air Passenger Duty and any VAT. Headwinds or a full cabin can add a fuel stop on the longest routes.
Is a super-midsize jet right for your trip?
3 to 7 hours with up to 8 people: the sweet spot for this class.
More than 9 people, or a night flight where people need to sleep: step up to a heavy jet.
Under about 2 hours: a light or midsize jet costs less for the same trip.
Ocean crossings: the shorter ones work on many models with a light load and good winds; we check the route for the exact aircraft.
