At 4.8 ft of cabin height, the PC-12 NG is a sit-down jet. Expect to duck moving between seats. The lavatory is belted with a curtain — not a full door. Connectivity varies by tail — most operators in this fleet have at least one Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft, but confirm before booking if you need to work in the air.

Operator floor plans vary. Some PC-12 NG cabins are configured with a divan that drops the headcount by one or two seats; confirm the layout with the operator before booking.
