Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx

The Dassault Falcon 6X is the newest of the three and sits in the large-cabin, long-range category, offering a modern wide-cabin experience with typical seating around 12–16 passengers and a range of about 5,500 nautical miles. The Falcon 8X is the flagship ultra-long-range trijet, also a large-cabin aircraft, generally accommodating about 12–16 passengers but optimized for longer missions, with roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range, making it the best choice here for the longest nonstop city pairs. The Falcon 900LX is a proven large-cabin, long-range trijet positioned slightly below the 6X and 8X in cabin modernization and reach; it commonly carries about 12–14 passengers and offers around 4,750 nautical miles of range. In short, all three are large-cabin Falcons with similar typical passenger counts, but they separate mainly by mission length: 900LX for long-range, 6X for newer long-range comfort and capability, and 8X for maximum range and flexibility.
