Leave Al Maktoum after breakfast and land at Farnborough for a late lunch. Seven and a quarter hours non-stop in a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, from the private terminals at both ends. Indicative one way from £35,000 for the whole aircraft, in a super-midsize jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in pounds sterling for this route.
Dubai to London is 3,400 miles. A heavy or ultra-long-range jet flies it non-stop in about seven and a quarter hours. So does the Praetor 600, a super-midsize; a Challenger 350 refuels in Cyprus or Turkey and arrives about an hour later.
London runs three hours behind Dubai in summer and four in winter. A 9 am departure from Al Maktoum lands at Farnborough around 1 pm local time with the afternoon ahead. Immigration and customs are cleared in the FBO at both ends.
Aircraft based in Dubai, London and across the Gulf are all in play on this route, which keeps pricing competitive and usually allows a departure within twenty-four hours of your request.
Which London airport to land at is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in London: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; parking in London, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
A return with the aircraft waiting in London is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing, in sterling or the currency you prefer.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | Indicative one way, from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super-midsize jet | Praetor 600, Challenger 350 | 8 to 9 | 7h 25m non-stop in a Praetor 600 | £35,000 |

A Praetor 600 flies it non-stop; a Challenger 350 refuels in Cyprus or Turkey, adding about an hour. VIP airliners land at Stansted or Luton.
Leaving Dubai, Al Maktoum is the easiest airport to depart from on a busy week, and Dubai International the closest to Downtown and DIFC. Sharjah is the fallback when both are full.
Dubai's dedicated business-aviation terminal. Open around the clock, slot-friendly and the easiest arrival on busy weeks. Immigration and customs cleared in the lounge.
Closest to the centre. Higher handling fees and constrained slots, especially at peak evening hours, so it is worth booking early.
Lower fees and easy parking for VIP airliners. A sensible alternative when Dubai's slots are gone.
Arriving in London, the airport follows the rest of your day: Farnborough for the west and Surrey, Biggin Hill for the City, Luton for the north and for late arrivals, Stansted for the largest cabins.
Flying private to London from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Which London airport to land at: the private jet airports compared
The UK's only dedicated business aviation airport. Open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends, so a late flight means Luton or Stansted.
Open around the clock, with a slot for every flight; night slots are rationed to the quietest aircraft. Takes large cabins.
Six-minute helicopter to Battersea. Open 6.30 am to 11 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 10 pm at weekends.
The longest runway around London, so the usual home for Boeing and Airbus business jets. Open around the clock by slot, with restricted nights.
The closest runway to the centre. Only aircraft certified for its 5.5° approach may use it, and it closes overnight and from 12.30 pm on Saturday to 12.30 pm on Sunday.
Non-stop Dubai to London needs a Praetor 600, a heavy jet or an ultra-long-range cabin. The Legacy 650 and the Gulfstream G650 both fly it non-stop; for larger groups the Lineage 1000 and the VIP airliners are also available. A Challenger 350 flies the route with a fuel stop.
Aircraft pages for this route: Embraer Legacy 650, Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, Dassault Falcon 900, Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus ACJ320neo.
Twelve to fourteen seats, a stand-up cabin and enough range for the route with fuel reserves. The Legacy 650 is the usual first choice.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats, better cabin pressure and less noise than heavy jets. A Gulfstream G650 flies Dubai to London in about seven hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Eighteen seats and above in the Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet, into Stansted or Luton.
See the whole fleetLondon is busy all year, but on these dates the airports' slots and parking go first and the aircraft based here are spoken for.
The return leaves from Farnborough, Luton, Biggin Hill or Stansted and lands at Al Maktoum, Dubai International or Sharjah. Allow six and a half to seven hours non-stop. A late-evening departure from Luton lands in Dubai early the next morning.
Farnborough closes at 10 pm, so overnight departures use Luton or Stansted. During winter, Dubai's arrival slots and parking are scarce, and we secure the return when we book the outbound.
Flying into Dubai from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to Dubai.
We do not own a fleet. Each Dubai to London flight is chartered for your trip from an operator on our platform. This is how we choose it, price it and check it, and what you agree to when you book.
We source through our platform, a global network of operators, and every operator is verified on its safety accreditations before it can join. For your date we look for aircraft that can fly Al Maktoum International to Farnborough, or the airports you prefer, and match them to the passengers, the luggage and the times you send. On this route that is anything from a super-midsize jet to a VIP airliner, as in the price table above.
You receive a short list of aircraft, each priced for the whole aircraft on your dates and from your airports, with our margin included. A quote holds for 24 hours from when we send it, because aircraft positions and permits change quickly. Costs added later are only those the flight turns out to need: de-icing if the route or the weather calls for it, catering you add, or extra cleaning when a pet flies.
Before an aircraft is offered, its operator confirms that your luggage fits the hold, and we agree the airports and the timings with them. The cabin is chosen for the passengers' comfort, not just the seat count. Catering is agreed a few days before the flight and cars are timed to the aircraft at both ends.
You pay by bank transfer or crypto. A deposit may be needed, usually 20%, and the full cost is due at least 48 hours before the flight, or at the latest three hours before departure for a flight the same day. Cancelling within 48 hours of the flight usually makes the whole cost payable. Terms vary with the operator and the flight, and you receive them in full before you sign; nothing is booked until you do.
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about £35,000 in a super-midsize jet; about £49,000 in a heavy jet; about £66,000 in a ultra-long-range jet; about £115,000 in a vip airliner. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates, and a return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
About 7 and a quarter hours from boarding to landing for the cabins shown on this page, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Every cabin class listed flies it without a stop.
From Dubai: Al Maktoum International, Dubai International and Sharjah International. Into London: Farnborough, London Luton, Biggin Hill, London Stansted and London City. Each is described above with its drive time and the operators that handle private flights there.
UK Border Force clears private arrivals inside the FBO, usually in minutes. Passport details go to the handler in advance; most nationalities need an ETA or visa, which we confirm when we book.
Dogs and cats fly in the cabin. Entering the UK, a pet needs a microchip, rabies vaccination and a health certificate, and must arrive at an approved airport; we arrange the paperwork with the handler.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.
Yes. We coordinate chauffeured cars on both ends, so a car meets you at the aircraft in London and the driver knows the airport's private terminal.
Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
