15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for West Palm Beach to Austin use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 19 km short after reserves on a 1,759 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. President Donald J. Trump International Airport has 10,001 ft and Austin Bergstrom International Airport 12,250 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.
