About seven hours non-stop from Farnborough or Luton to Boston, landing at Logan, ten minutes from Back Bay, or at Hanscom Field in Bedford for Cambridge and the western suburbs. Both clear US customs on the ramp. Indicative one way from $52,000 for the whole aircraft, in a super-midsize jet.

Farnborough to Boston Logan is 2,822 nautical miles, 3,247 statute miles, about 180 nautical miles less than London to New York. That saves twenty minutes or so in the air, and it brings the crossing just inside comfortable range for more aircraft: a heavy jet flies it non-stop with room to spare, and so, in most conditions, does the Praetor 600, a super-midsize. The Challenger 350 usually stops once for fuel westbound, against the wind.
Boston keeps Eastern Time, five hours behind London for most of the year, four for a few weeks in March and around the turn of October and November, when the two countries change their clocks on different Sundays. Leave Farnborough at 10 am in a heavy jet and you land in Boston at about midday, in time for a lunch in the Seaport or an afternoon in Cambridge.
Most flights in are for the universities, the hospitals and the biotech and investment firms of Kendall Square and the Financial District, with commencement in May and the autumn foliage bringing the rest.
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.
Logan is the closer of the two, ten to fifteen minutes from Back Bay and less to the Seaport, and its runways, the longest 10,083 ft, take every cabin on this route, VIP airliners included. Signature runs the one private terminal, and US Customs and Border Protection officers meet the aircraft on its ramp at any hour. Logan is a busy airline airport, so the landing fees are higher and the arrival time follows the airline peaks.
Hanscom Field, in Bedford, is the region's business airport: three private terminals (Signature, Jet Aviation and Atlantic Aviation), a 7,011 ft runway and thirty to forty minutes by car to Back Bay, less to Cambridge, Lexington, Concord and Weston. Heavy and ultra-long-range jets land there at the end of the crossing; a VIP airliner goes to Logan.
Logan is a customs landing-rights airport with officers on duty around the clock. The operator obtains permission to land at least 24 hours before arrival, and the time granted holds to thirty minutes either side; passengers are usually cleared on board, at the Signature ramp.
Hanscom is a customs user-fee airport. CBP's fact sheet for it says inspection is generally available every day, at any hour, but permission to land is requested from the CBP office at the airport during its hours, 8 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday, so a weekend arrival is arranged by Friday afternoon. The user fee is added to the quote. Either way, the passport details go to CBP before the aircraft leaves London, and most nationalities need ESTA or a visa, which we confirm when we book.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Farnborough to Boston Logan for an aircraft already in London; VIP airliners leave from Luton or Stansted. They cover the flight, the crew and the fuel. Repositioning, parking in Boston, the crew's hotel nights, handling, the Hanscom customs fee and taxes are quoted separately.
If the aircraft waits in Boston for your return, the round trip usually costs well under two one-way flights. Send 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.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | Indicative one way, from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super-midsize jet | Praetor 600, Challenger 350 | 8 to 9 | 7h 15m non-stop in a Praetor 600 | $52,000 |
| Heavy jet | Falcon 900, Legacy 650, Gulfstream G450 | 12 to 14 | 7h 05m non-stop | $71,000 |
| Ultra-long-range jet | Global 6500, Falcon 7X, G700 | 13 to 19 | 6h 40m non-stop | $93,000 |
| VIP airliner | ACJ319neo, Boeing Business Jet | 18 to 40 | 7h 05m non-stop | $161,000 |

Embraer gives the Praetor 600 a range of 4,018 nm with four passengers, NBAA IFR reserves and 85% annual winds, so it usually crosses non-stop; against a strong headwind or with a full cabin the operator may plan a stop. A Challenger 350 usually refuels westbound in eastern Canada, which adds about an hour. VIP airliners land at Logan.
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.
Logan is ten minutes from downtown with customs on the field; Hanscom Field, thirty minutes west, has easier parking and lower fees. Norwood suits light jets heading south of the city.
The closest runway to the city, with customs and no weight limit. Higher fees and slot windows at peak hours.
The region's main business airport, open around the clock with customs on site. Noise rules restrict the loudest aircraft overnight.
The London airport follows where you start and the hour you leave. In Boston, Logan suits the city and the largest cabins, Hanscom the western side of the city and a quieter arrival.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| West London, Surrey and Berkshire | Farnborough (FAB) | Business aviation only, so a quick departure; open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends. |
| North London, Hertfordshire and late departures | London Luton (LTN) | Open day and night, though night slots go to the quietest aircraft, and large enough for a VIP airliner. |
| The largest cabins and groups | London Stansted (STN) | A 3,049 m runway, longer than Farnborough's or Luton's, for a full-weight departure in a Boeing Business Jet. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Back Bay, Beacon Hill and the Financial District | Boston Logan (BOS) | Ten to fifteen minutes through the tunnels once the officers have cleared the aircraft. |
| Cambridge, Lexington, Concord and Weston | Hanscom Field (BED) | Twenty to thirty minutes to Harvard Square and less to the towns west of the city, with three private terminals and customs on the field. |
| Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard | Boston Logan (BOS) | Customs first at Logan, then a short domestic hop to the island or the Cape, in the same aircraft if the runway suits it. |
For a crossing at full fuel we leave from Farnborough, Luton or Stansted rather than Biggin Hill or London City. Drive times are approximate and depend on the hour. The prices above are for Farnborough to Boston Logan; Hanscom is quoted on the same basis plus its customs fee.
At this distance a Praetor 600 or any heavy jet crosses non-stop in most conditions, and a heavy jet adds a wider cabin and a rest area aft. An ultra-long-range jet such as the Global 6500 or the G700 is quicker, quieter and has beds made up for an overnight return. A Challenger 350 suits two to four passengers watching the cost, usually with one fuel stop westbound. A VIP airliner carries a board or a family with staff from Luton or Stansted to Logan.

Twelve to fourteen seats and a rest area aft, in a Falcon 900, Legacy 650 or Gulfstream G450, non-stop from Farnborough in about seven hours.
See the Falcon 900Thirteen to nineteen seats, a bed and range to spare: the Global 6500, Falcon 7X or G700, about six hours forty to Boston.
See the G700Eighteen to forty seats for a delegation or a family with staff, in an ACJ319neo or a Boeing Business Jet, from Luton or Stansted to Logan.
See the Boeing Business JetBoston's peaks follow the universities and the sporting calendar, when Logan's slot windows and Hanscom's parking fill.
The return leaves Logan or Hanscom for whichever London airport suits the next day. With the jet stream behind it the crossing is usually about an hour shorter, and a Challenger 350 often flies it without the fuel stop it needed on the way out; the operator confirms that on the day.
An evening departure lands in London early the next morning. For a landing before 7 am, the flight goes to Luton or Stansted, which are open through the night, rather than Farnborough. The operator files the passenger details with UK Border Force before take-off; most non-British visitors need a UK ETA or a visa.
