| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | Falcon 900EX | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Paris → Dubai | 2,950 nm | Falcon 900EX | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Miami → São Paulo | 3,500 nm | Falcon 900EX | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Hong Kong → Sydney | 3,950 nm | Falcon 900EX | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (3950 nm > 4,000 nm). |
Distances are great-circle approximations; actual fuel planning accounts for winds, weather and reserves.
