Every class we price on this pair clears both runways and covers the sector nonstop, and the ranges shown are modelled from those same aircraft rows — so there is nothing route-specific left to resolve before booking.
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,161 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €11,300
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,161 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 15 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €21,900

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Mexico City → Palm Beach, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Mexico City before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Palm Beach, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on TLC–PBI are set field by field — TLC and PBI each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,161 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on TLC–PBI, not the driver of the quote.
Mexico City → Palm Beach demand cycles pull the 1,161 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at PBI constrains the lift available for 1,161 nm inbounds from Mexico City — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices TLC–PBI beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,161 nm.
Slot coordination at PBI — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Mexico City departures and raises handling on TLC–PBI.
At 1,161 nm, TLC–PBI sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at PBI is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the TLC–PBI quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Mexico City → Palm Beach
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Mexico City-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near PBI can trim handling and slot pressure on TLC–PBI — see the airport comparison above.
TLC ↔ PBI (1,161 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at TLC drops handling and slot fees on the 1,161 nm run to PBI.
1,161 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on TLC–PBI cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 3h 20m on the 1,161 nm great-circle sector in a light jet, or about 3h 35m block to block once taxi at TLC and PBI is counted. Across the 5 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 3h 00m in an ultra-long-range to 3h 35m in a light jet. All five cabin classes are runway-legal and range-capable on this pair, so the decision is cabin and cost rather than sector time. Figures are indicative great-circle estimates; actual times move with routing, winds and ATC on the day.
Over the 1,161 nm sector our desk models midsize charter from €9,800 one-way and heavy jet from €21,400. Neither field length nor sector range removes a cabin category here, so the spread between midsize and heavy jet reflects cabin choice rather than an operating restriction on the pair. The accepted rows more than double between midsize and heavy jet, so cabin selection is the largest single line item a client controls on this pair. light jet, super-midsize and ultra-long-range aircraft clear both fields on this pair but carry no modelled row here, so those cabins are quoted on request. These are modelled charter estimates for this pair — not live quotes, not observed transactions — and the final figure moves with aircraft positioning and availability on the date.
Dassault Falcon 50EX (Heavy) is our standing pick — On 1,161 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 15 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Broadly steady year-round.
Set an alert on both directions — matches deliver 30–75% discounts and appear with 24–72h notice.
Observed pricing
On a 1,161 nm sector our fixed-price model quotes €9,400 for a light jet and €23,400 for an ultra long range in standard season — 5 cabin classes clear the range and runway test here.
