Stand-up cabin, Citation running costs. That is the Citation Excel family, XL, XLS, and XLS+, frequently cited as the most-chartered business jet in the world. The trick is a midsize, stand-up-height cabin mated to the operating simplicity and short-field ability of the smaller Citations, so it turns up everywhere from Van Nuys to the tightest resort strips.

Up the stairs and then walking, not crouching, to the seat. The cabin holds a real group with real luggage, and the price sits well below the larger iron. When a trip has outgrown a light jet, the XLS is the first step up, and for most trips it is the last one. Stand-up height comes with a footnote, though: the tallest passenger aboard still ducks through the door and keeps ducking down the aisle.
