From Teterboro Airport (TEB) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) it flies the passage nonstop in comfort, the cabin a marked advance on anything the light class affords.

The XLS+ on the New York–Miami run
With 2,100 nautical miles of range against the route's 950, the Citation XLS+ flies New York to Miami nonstop with a full cabin and ample reserves. Its Mach 0.75 cruise sets the passage at a little under two and a half hours, and a 45,000-foot ceiling carries it above the weather and the seaboard traffic.
The XLS+ owes its long pre-eminence to a rare combination of cabin comfort, short-field capability and efficiency, and it remains the benchmark against which the midsize class is judged.

The cabin and its appointments
The cabin seats eight against a maximum of nine, in a stand-up configuration five feet eight inches in height with a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory. With ninety cubic feet of luggage and a refreshment center, it is a thoroughly accommodating space for this trip — the first cabin in the catalog in which a traveler may stand and move with ease.
How it compares within the class
The XLS+ is the modern successor to the Citation Excel, offering more range and refinement, and a step below the larger Citation Latitude in cabin width. As the benchmark of the midsize class, it is among the soundest choices for the corporate group that has outgrown the light jet.
