15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Miami to San Jose use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 77 km short after reserves on a 1,805 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Miami International Airport has 13,016 ft and Juan Santamaría International Airport 9,882 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
