About ten hours non-stop from Farnborough or Luton to Austin-Bergstrom, five miles from downtown and the only Austin airport with customs. A Falcon 7X or an ultra-long-range cabin flies it without a fuel stop. Indicative one way from $120,000 for the whole aircraft, in a heavy jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
Farnborough to Austin-Bergstrom is 4,255 nautical miles, 4,897 statute miles, a little further than London to Houston and about 475 nautical miles short of London to Los Angeles. The Falcon 7X is the smallest cabin we quote non-stop; the Gulfstream G650, Falcon 8X and Global 6000 fly it with more margin against the westbound winds.
Austin is six hours behind London. Leave Farnborough at 10 am and you land at Austin-Bergstrom around 2.30 pm local time, five miles from downtown and about fifteen minutes from South Congress or the Circuit of the Americas.
The hours at the Austin end shape the plan more than the flight itself. A customs officer meets private arrivals at the FBO, generally from 8.30 am to 9 pm, and permission to land is requested a business day ahead. A late London departure, or a weekend arrival booked after Friday, needs the times agreed before we confirm the aircraft.
Which London airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in London: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Austin-Bergstrom is the only airport in the Austin area with US customs, so every flight from London lands there first. Signature, Atlantic and Million Air run its three private terminals, and its longest runway, 12,250 ft, takes every cabin from the Falcon 7X to the Airbus and Boeing business jets.
Austin Executive in Pflugerville, ten miles from The Domain, and Georgetown, for Williamson County, are closer for the north of the city, but neither has customs. If you are staying up there, a car meets you at Austin-Bergstrom once customs is cleared: about half an hour to The Domain outside the rush hour.
The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, in late October, is the busiest weekend of the year at Austin-Bergstrom. The FAA requires a ramp reservation for every private arrival and departure over the race period and runs departure slots on race night, and the airports nearby fill too.
From London, that means booking the aircraft, the Austin ramp reservation and the return slot together, as early as the dates allow. A Thursday arrival from Farnborough lands in daylight, inside the customs hours, with Friday practice still ahead. On race night the departure slot, not the aircraft, decides when you leave.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Farnborough to Austin-Bergstrom for an aircraft that is already in London. They cover the flight, the crew and the fuel; repositioning, overnight parking in Austin, the crew's hotel nights, handling and taxes are quoted separately.
A return with the aircraft waiting in Texas is usually priced well below two one-way flights; on Grand Prix weekend it is often the only way to hold the return slot. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Every cabin lands at Austin-Bergstrom. Heavy jets with less range than the Falcon 7X, such as the Legacy 650 or Falcon 900, fly it with a fuel stop on request.
London has more private airports than any other city in Europe. The choice comes down to where you start, how late you want to leave, and how large the aircraft is.
Private jet airports in London compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
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.
The longest runway around London, so the usual home for Boeing and Airbus business jets. Open around the clock by slot, with restricted nights.
Austin-Bergstrom is the usual arrival: three private terminals, five miles from downtown and about fifteen minutes from the Circuit of the Americas, and the only Austin airport with customs. Austin Executive and Georgetown serve the north of the city.
Three private terminals beside the 9,000 ft runway, and the only customs in Austin. On Grand Prix weekend the FAA requires a ramp reservation for every private arrival and departure.
In London the choice follows where you start and when you leave. In Austin there is one arrival airport for a flight from abroad, and the drive depends on where you are staying.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| West London, Surrey and Berkshire | Farnborough (FAB) | Every business jet cabin; open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends and bank holidays. |
| North London, Hertfordshire, early or late departures | London Luton (LTN) | Open around the clock, though night slots are scarce, and takes every cabin size, VIP airliners included. |
| VIP airliners and the largest groups | London Stansted (STN) | The longest runway around London, 3,049 m, so the largest jets leave at full weight; open around the clock. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown, South Congress, the Circuit of the Americas | Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) | Five miles from downtown and about fifteen minutes from the circuit, with customs at the FBO. |
| The Domain, Round Rock, Georgetown, the Hill Country | Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) | Customs first, then the car north; Austin Executive and Georgetown, closer to the north, have no customs. |
Biggin Hill and London City suit shorter flights: for a ten-hour leg at full fuel we start from Farnborough, Luton or Stansted. Drive times are approximate and depend on the hour. The prices above are for Farnborough to Austin-Bergstrom.
Ten hours west into the prevailing wind puts range first. The Falcon 7X is the heavy jet that flies it non-stop. The G650 is the quickest cabin on the leg; with the Falcon 8X and Global 6000 it adds a lower cabin altitude and room to sleep. VIP airliners carry the largest groups, a company offsite or a family with staff, from Stansted or Luton.
Aircraft pages for this route: Dassault Falcon 7X, Dassault Falcon 8X, Gulfstream G650, Airbus ACJ319neo.
Twelve to fourteen seats, the longest cabin of the three and a hold you can reach in flight. About nine hours and fifty-five minutes from Farnborough to Austin-Bergstrom.
See the Gulfstream G650Twelve to fourteen seats and three lounge areas, the lowest price that still flies the leg without a stop, in about ten hours and twenty-five minutes.
See the Falcon 7XEighteen seats and above, a bedroom and a full galley, from Stansted or Luton onto Austin-Bergstrom's 12,250 ft runway.
See the ACJ319neoAustin's ramps fill around a handful of events, and on Grand Prix weekend the FAA runs its own reservation programme.
The return leaves Austin-Bergstrom for whichever London airport suits the rest of your day. Eastbound the jet stream helps, and the same aircraft is usually about an hour quicker. An evening departure from Austin lands in London the next morning, when every London airport is open.
After the Grand Prix, the race-night departure slot decides the time, so we request it with the outbound. Before landing in London the operator files the passenger details with UK Border Force; most non-British visitors need a UK ETA or a visa.
Flying into London from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to London.
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 $120,000 in a Falcon 7X, about $143,000 in an ultra-long-range jet such as a G650, and about $275,000 in a VIP airliner. Repositioning, overnight parking, handling and taxes 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 10 hours non-stop from Farnborough to Austin-Bergstrom: about 10 hours 25 in a Falcon 7X and about 9 hours 55 in an ultra-long-range jet. Westbound winds make it longer than the return, which is usually about an hour quicker.
Austin-Bergstrom, because it is the only Austin airport with customs. It is five miles from downtown and about fifteen minutes from the Circuit of the Americas. For The Domain, Round Rock or Georgetown, the car goes north from there.
A US Customs and Border Protection officer meets private arrivals at the FBO, generally from 8.30 am to 9 pm, with permission to land requested a business day ahead. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities; we confirm when we book.
Yes. On Grand Prix weekend the FAA requires a ramp reservation for every private arrival and departure at Austin-Bergstrom, and runs departure slots on race night. We request the reservation and the return slot with the aircraft, as early as the dates allow.
Usually, in the cabin, if the operator accepts pets on the aircraft. A dog entering the US needs a microchip and a CDC Dog Import Form, and the vaccination documents depend on where it has been in the previous six months. Tell us when you enquire and we confirm the operator's policy and the paperwork for your dog.
