Why a midsize jet fits this trip
A midsize jet like the Hawker 800XP or Citation XLS+ is the fit here, with 8 seats and nonstop range for about 1,457 nautical miles. The Hawker 800XP cruises at 447 knots with 2,540 nm range, so it handles Denver to Palm Beach nonstop. If you need more cabin height or baggage, a super-midsize or heavy jet adds space at a higher price. Light jets cost less but require a fuel stop.
For this length of leg, the midsize's balance of range and operating cost usually wins. A light jet saves a few thousand dollars but adds a stop and about 45 minutes of total time. A heavy jet offers a larger cabin and more baggage, but the price jumps to $34,000 to $51,500. For most groups of four to eight, midsize is the practical choice on this route.

Departing from Denver
From Centennial or Rocky Mountain Metro, you avoid the airline terminal entirely and board within minutes. Centennial Airport (KAPA) has a 10,001-foot runway and sits about 611 miles from the downtown strip; Rocky Mountain Metro (KBJC) is 606 miles away with a 9,000-foot runway. Both handle private jets daily. Denver International (KDEN) is an option if you need its 16,000-foot runway for a heavy jet, but you will share the field with commercial traffic. Buckley Space Force Base (KBKF) has an 11,006-foot runway but is not a civilian charter base.
If your group prefers a single FBO with quick ramp access, Centennial is the usual Denver departure point. Plan to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled departure. In summer, afternoon density altitude can affect performance, so early morning departures are often smoother and may allow a fuller fuel load.
Arriving at Palm Beach
Palm Beach arrivals land at President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT, formerly PBI) in West Palm Beach, with a 10,001-foot runway and a straightforward FBO experience. The airport sits just west of the island of Palm Beach, so you are a short drive from Worth Avenue, the Breakers, and the lakefront. Your crew will coordinate ground transportation before landing, so a car can meet you on the ramp.
If your final stop is Boca Raton or Jupiter, the same airport works well and the drive is under an hour. For international legs beyond Palm Beach, CBP clearance can be arranged at DJT; otherwise, domestic arrivals simply walk from the aircraft to the FBO. Ask your broker about customs if you are continuing to the Bahamas or Caribbean.
| Airport | Code | Runway |
|---|---|---|
| President Donald J. Trump International Airport | KPBI / DJT | 10,001 ft |
| Buckley Space Force Base | KBKF / BFK | 11,006 ft |
| Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport | KBJC / BJC | 9,000 ft |
| Centennial Airport | KAPA / APA | 10,001 ft |
| Denver International Airport | KDEN / DEN | 16,000 ft |
When to book your Palm Beach flight
Demand peaks from late December through April, when snowbirds and holiday travelers fill Florida-bound aircraft. Rates for a midsize jet on this route can run toward the top of the $19,500 to $29,500 range during that window, especially for weekend departures. If your trip falls during the Palm Beach season, book at least three to four weeks ahead to hold a specific aircraft and crew.
Same-day round trips are possible but expensive because the crew and aircraft stay with you on the ground. A typical midsize round trip with a few hours on the ground in Palm Beach prices closer to the sum of two one-way legs plus waiting time. If your schedule is flexible, midweek departures in May or October often price at the lower end of the range. One-way repositioning legs can occasionally be found when an operator needs to move an aircraft back to Denver, but they are not guaranteed. Ask your broker to check empty legs on your dates.
