Bombardier · super-midsize jet
The Bombardier Challenger 350 is a twin-engine super-midsize jet that typically seats 8–10 passengers, with a range of 3,200 nm and a maximum cruise speed of ~Mach 0.80.
The staple of super-midsize fleet flying: true coast-to-coast range and a cabin you stand up in. When a program sells 'super-mid,' this is often what shows up.

Fly it on a jet card
None of the 5 programs that fly the Bombardier Challenger 350 publishes an hourly rate. Nicholas Air and flyExclusive name the Bombardier Challenger 350 in their published fleets. You book the program; the aircraft on a given trip comes from that fleet.
The cabin
The cabin is 25 ft 2 in long, 7 ft 2 in wide and 6 ft high, measured cockpit divider to aft cabin, excluding the baggage compartment. Baggage space is 106 cu ft (baggage compartment).

Where it can go
Estimates from the published range of 3,200 nm (Theoretical maximum, eight passengers and two crew, NBAA IFR reserves). We call a trip nonstop when it is within 80% of that figure, to leave margin for winds and load.

Which Challenger 300 you may fly
All three are one certified type, BD-100-1A10, so FAA registration records cannot tell them apart. The 350 and 3500 share engines, cabin dimensions and baggage space; the 3500 adds a redesigned cabin, a lower cabin altitude and a standard autothrottle.
