Which should you charter?
Pick the Challenger 350 if you need the extra 1,226 km (662 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 8 cm taller), you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 3.1 m longer) and you want a wider cabin (36 cm more across).
On paper the Hawker 800XP 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 Hawker 800XP is estimated at $5,000/hr against $7,400/hr for the Challenger 350, about $2,400 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Challenger 350 saves about 4 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 350 can fly Dubai (DXB) to Rome (CIA) nonstop, 4,315 km. The Hawker 800XP 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.
