Which should you charter?
Pick the Challenger 300 if you need the extra 740 km (400 nm) of range, you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 2.1 m longer), you want a wider cabin (28 cm more across) and you travel with a lot of luggage (106 cu ft of baggage space vs 90).
On paper the Citation Latitude does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.
The Citation Latitude is estimated at $6,200/hr against $7,000/hr for the Challenger 300, about $800 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Challenger 300 saves about 3 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Challenger 300 can fly Dubai (DXB) to Munich (MUC) nonstop, 4,564 km. The Citation Latitude would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
