The Citation Longitude: a quiet super-midsize with in-flight bag access
The Longitude is Cessna's largest current business jet, and it remains in production. The cabin is 7.67 m long, 1.96 m wide and 1.83 m high, with a flat floor. That means six-foot headroom along the whole aisle. Cessna markets it as the quietest cabin in the super-midsize class.
Up to twelve passengers can be seated; charter layouts usually take eight or nine.
Baggage you can reach
The baggage compartment holds 112 cubic feet, or 3.17 m³, up to 506 kg. Cessna states it is fully accessible in flight. A coat, a laptop or a change of clothes in the hold can be reached mid-flight.
Longitude: range and runway
Cessna quotes 3,500 nm at a maximum cruise of 483 kt, and a ceiling of 45,000 ft. Take-off needs about 1,466 m and landing about 966 m.
Which of our routes the Longitude suits
London to Dubai, about 2,978 nm, is nonstop with a sensible margin. Abuja to Dubai and Lagos to London are also in range. For long European trips such as London to Mykonos, it brings a larger cabin than the trip strictly needs.
The Longitude against its class siblings
The Challenger 350 has a wider cabin, 2.19 m against 1.96 m, but less range. The Praetor 600 flies further again. The Longitude is the fastest of the three and the newest design, with a long cabin that suits a working group.
