Which should you charter?
Pick the Citation X+ if you want the shorter flight time (it cruises 71 km/h faster).
Pick the Falcon 7X if you need the extra 4,720 km (2,549 nm) of range, you are a group of 10 to 14, headroom matters (the cabin is 13 cm taller) and you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 3.5 m longer).
The Citation X+ is estimated at $6,800/hr against $12,500/hr for the Falcon 7X, about $5,700 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Citation X+ saves about 5 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 Falcon 7X can fly London (LTN) to Toronto (YYZ) nonstop, 5,694 km. The Citation X+ 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.
