Leave London after dinner and land in Dubai for breakfast. Four private airports around the capital, a non-stop flight of about seven hours, and immigration cleared in the terminal before the car pulls up. Indicative one way from $47,000 for the whole aircraft, in a super-midsize jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
London to Dubai is about 3,400 miles, which a heavy or ultra-long-range jet flies non-stop in six and a half to seven hours. Dubai runs three hours ahead of London in summer and four in winter, so the classic pattern is a late-evening departure that lands early the next morning, rested, with the whole day ahead.
The private terminals at both ends do the rest. In London you drive to the aircraft at Farnborough or Luton and are airborne within fifteen minutes of arriving. In Dubai, passport control and customs happen inside the FBO lounge, and the chauffeur is waiting on the apron side of the door.
Because the route is flown so often, aircraft based in London, Dubai and the Gulf are all in play, which keeps pricing competitive and usually allows a departure within twenty-four hours of your request.
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.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; overnight parking in Dubai, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
A return with the aircraft waiting in Dubai for a few days is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing, in dollars 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 | 6h 55m non-stop in a Praetor 600 | $47,000 |
| Heavy jet | Legacy 650, Falcon 900, Gulfstream G450 | 12 to 14 | 6h 45m non-stop | $65,000 |
| Ultra-long-range jet | Global 6000, Gulfstream G650, Falcon 7X | 13 to 16 | 6h 30m non-stop | $88,000 |
| VIP airliner | Airbus ACJ319, Boeing Business Jet, Lineage 1000 | 18 to 48 | 6h 45m non-stop | $155,000 |
Figures in US dollars, one way, indicative. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
Embraer gives the Praetor 600 a range of 4,018 nm with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves, so it flies the route non-stop; a Challenger 350 needs a fuel stop, usually in Cyprus or Turkey, adding about an hour.
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.
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.
Dubai has two airports of its own and a third next door in Sharjah. Al Maktoum carries most private traffic these days; Dubai International puts you closer to Downtown and DIFC at a higher fee and with tighter slots.
Flying private to Dubai from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
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.
Non-stop London to Dubai needs a Praetor 600, a heavy jet or an ultra-long-range cabin. The Legacy 650 and the Gulfstream G650 both do it comfortably; for larger groups the Lineage 1000 and the VIP airliners follow. A Challenger 350 flies the route with a fuel stop.
Aircraft pages for this route: Bombardier Challenger 350, Embraer Praetor 600, Bombardier Challenger 605, Embraer Legacy 650, Dassault Falcon 900, Dassault Falcon 7X, Bombardier Global 6000, Gulfstream G550, Gulfstream G650, Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jets, Boeing Business Jets, Airbus ACJ319neo, Airbus ACJ320neo, Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 7, Boeing BBJ 787-8.
Twelve to fourteen seats, a stand-up cabin and a range that covers the route with margin. The Legacy 650 is the usual first proposal.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats, a quieter cabin and a lower altitude feel for a better night's sleep. A Gulfstream G650 flies London to Dubai in about six and a half hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Eighteen seats and above in the Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet, with bedrooms and a full galley, from Stansted or Luton.
See the whole fleetDubai's season runs from November to April, and on these dates the aircraft based in the Gulf are spoken for early. A week or two of notice keeps the choice of cabin open.
The return leaves from Al Maktoum, Dubai International or Sharjah and lands at whichever London airport suits the rest of your day. Westbound the headwinds add thirty to forty-five minutes, so allow seven to seven and a half hours in the air.
Two things to plan for. Farnborough closes at 10 pm and Biggin Hill at 11 pm, so an evening departure from Dubai usually means an arrival at Luton or Stansted. And during the winter season, Dubai departure slots and overnight parking are the scarce resources, so we secure the return at the moment we book the outbound.
Flying into London from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to London.
We do not own a fleet. Each London to Dubai 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 Farnborough to Al Maktoum International, 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.
A one-way charter starts at around $47,000 in a super-midsize jet, non-stop in a Praetor 600, about $65,000 non-stop in a heavy jet, $88,000 in an ultra-long-range jet, and from $155,000 for a VIP airliner, for the whole aircraft. Overnight parking, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
About six and a half to seven hours non-stop in a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, and about 6 hours 55 in a Praetor 600. A Challenger 350 needs a fuel stop, which adds roughly an hour. The return into the headwind takes thirty to forty-five minutes longer.
Yes, in a Praetor 600 or a heavy jet or larger. The Legacy 650, Falcon 900LX, Gulfstream G450 and above all fly London to Dubai without a stop. A Challenger 350 and lighter cabins refuel on the way, usually in Cyprus or Turkey.
From London: Farnborough, Luton, Biggin Hill and Stansted, with London City for smaller aircraft that make a fuel stop. Into Dubai: Al Maktoum International, which has the dedicated business-aviation terminal, Dubai International for the shortest drive to Downtown, and Sharjah as the alternative.
Both are cleared inside the private terminal at each end, usually in a few minutes. UK passport holders receive a visa on arrival in the UAE; for other nationalities we confirm the requirement when we book. Passport details go to the operator in advance so the handler is ready.
Yes, in the cabin. The UAE requires an import permit, microchip, vaccination record and health certificate in advance, and we arrange the paperwork with the handler when we book. Allow a week or two for the permit.
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 Dubai, whether you are heading to Downtown, the Palm or straight to a meeting in DIFC.
Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
