Hello gentlemen,
I flew to Mandelieu once in a 300 and it was quite nice. I have experience on the 300 if you need advice. My longest flight in Europe was from Larnaca to Le Bourget with 4 on board and some luggage. Took 05:16 flight time. My longest was from Goose Bay to Fort Lauderdale.
Performance wise, it is hard to compete with the 300 on its class. Operation cost is similar to a B200 and you have several services centers in Europe (Le Bourget, Stansted, Prague, Altenrhein, Dusseldorf, Essex and so on)
Very few aogs, fuel burn is real low and luggage compartment is the largest on class.
Count on me,
Sydy
