Which aircraft for Berlin–Cannes?
For 1,094 km, a light jet like the Citation CJ3 is the economical default: up to 6–7 seats, ample for weekend luggage, and the lowest positioning costs. Stepping up to a midsize cabin buys standing room and a better baggage hold rather than meaningful time.
Best time to book
Seasonality matters on this route: Cannes peaks from June to September, when aircraft parking tightens and prices firm up. Book summer weekends two to three weeks ahead; in shoulder season, 72 hours is usually plenty — and empty legs appear far more often.
