BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,700 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €16,100
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,700 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 23 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €32,100

On Palm Beach → Phoenix, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Palm Beach before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Phoenix, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on PBI–PHX are set field by field — PBI and PHX each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,700 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on PBI–PHX, not the driver of the quote.
Palm Beach → Phoenix demand cycles pull the 1,700 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at PHX constrains the lift available for 1,700 nm inbounds from Palm Beach — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices PBI–PHX beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,700 nm.
Slot coordination at PHX — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Palm Beach departures and raises handling on PBI–PHX.
At 1,700 nm, PBI–PHX sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at PHX is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the PBI–PHX quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Palm Beach → Phoenix
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Palm Beach-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near PHX can trim handling and slot pressure on PBI–PHX — see the airport comparison above.
PBI ↔ PHX (1,700 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 PBI drops handling and slot fees on the 1,700 nm run to PHX.
1,700 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on PBI–PHX cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

€14,300 – €32,900
Midsize through Heavy over 1,700 nm PBI–PHX, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of PBI sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. PBI–PHX quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
PBI–PHX supply — thin
PBI — 3 archived movements (2 out / 1 in) from 3 operators. Most PBI–PHX lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Palm Beach (PBI)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KPBI (0 nm, 13 aircraft), KBCT (18 nm, 6 aircraft), KPMP (26 nm, 6 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Positioning into Phoenix (PHX)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KPHX (0 nm, 3 aircraft), KSDL (12 nm, 21 aircraft), KCHD (14 nm, 1 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 1,700 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,700 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing PBI within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
