New York to London by private jet
The blue-riband route of business aviation. Farnborough is London’s purpose-built bizav gateway, faster in and out than Luton. The 3,000 nm North Atlantic crossing with mandatory reserves puts this squarely in large-cabin and ultra-long-range territory; a super-mid can do it westbound with a stop in Gander or Shannon, and some buyers happily take that trade.

Assumes 4 passengers, spot-market rates, and the two-hour daily billing minimum where the leg is shorter. Positioning, meaning where the aircraft starts its day, is the swing factor no table can capture; it is why identical trips quote 30% apart.

When you fly matters
Eastbound rides the jetstream, 6h30m on a good night. Westbound fights it, up to 8 hours. Wimbledon, Ascot, and the summer season concentrate demand in June and July.
The empty-leg angle
This corridor has genuine empty-leg supply: repositioning flights sold at 25 to 75% off. The catch is that the schedule belongs to someone else’s trip and can move or vanish. Worth playing if your dates bend. Read the empty-legs guide before treating one as a plan.
Aircraft that fit this mission
- Embraer Praetor 500: Full fly-by-wire and true coast-to-coast reach in a midsize.
- Bombardier Challenger 3500: Widest cabin in the class; the 350/3500 line dominates US super-mid charter.
- Bombardier Challenger 650: The widest cabin per dollar in aviation. A 40-year formula, still working.
Prices apply in reverse (FAB → TEB), though empty-leg supply and peak days often differ by direction. Ready for quotes? Build a proper RFP and make brokers respond to your brief.
