Class-typical figures for planning, not a specific model's spec sheet — range and speed vary by model, load, and conditions.

A midsize jet trades some of the light jet's economy for more of everything else: a larger, usually stand-up cabin, more range, and room for a bigger group and their luggage. It is the natural pick when a light jet would feel tight — a full party of six to nine, a longer leg, or a trip where the extra cabin space is worth the added hourly cost.

What it's like

The cabin difference is the point: more headroom, more elbow room, and enough baggage capacity for a real trip rather than a weekend bag apiece. For SoCal, a midsize makes sense on the longer runs or when the group is large enough that comfort, not cost, is the deciding factor.
