In the cabin
What changes as you move up
Midsize: stand-up comfort, nearly
About 5.7 feet of headroom, a proper lavatory and more luggage space. Worth it for longer East Coast runs and for groups of six or more.
Super-midsize: coast to coast
A six-foot cabin with a flat floor and range to reach Aspen, Los Angeles or Las Vegas nonstop from Teterboro, westbound winds included in most cases.
Large cabin: the Atlantic
Separate zones, beds and a galley, with the 4,000 to 4,300 nautical miles needed for London, Paris and Geneva. Most large-cabin jets use Teterboro without any weight issue.
