The overnight classic: leave Teterboro after dinner, land at Farnborough or Luton for breakfast. Under seven hours non-stop with the jet stream behind you. Indicative one way from £37,000 for the whole aircraft, in a super-midsize jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in pounds sterling for this route.
New York to London is the most flown private route across the Atlantic. Eastbound is the shorter direction, with the jet stream behind you: a heavy jet crosses in about six hours forty-five. Ultra-long-range cabins are faster and quieter. A Praetor 600, a super-midsize, usually flies it non-stop too; a Challenger 350 refuels at Gander or Shannon and arrives about an hour later.
The five-hour time difference makes the overnight the natural pattern. Leave Teterboro at 8 pm, sleep, and land at Farnborough at 8 am with the day ahead. Farnborough opens at 7 am and Biggin Hill at 6.30 am, so we time the departure to the airport; Luton and Stansted are open around the clock.
Teterboro caps aircraft at 100,000 lb, so VIP airliners leave from JFK or Newark; Westchester is the quieter departure for the Upper East Side and Connecticut.
Which airport to leave from and which to land at are set out in our guides to the private jet airports in New York and 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.
Aircraft are based at both ends, so one-way pricing on this route is competitive. 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 |

A Praetor 600 usually crosses non-stop; a Challenger 350 refuels at Gander or Shannon, adding about an hour. VIP airliners depart from JFK or Newark rather than Teterboro.
Teterboro handles most of New York's private departures, but it caps aircraft weight and closes to noisy movements overnight, so the largest cabins and some late flights go from Westchester, Newark or JFK.
Private jet airports in New York compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The busiest private airport in the US. No aircraft may weigh more than 100,000 lb on the day, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary quiet hours 11 pm to 6 am; customs at Jet Aviation or Hangar 1, 7.30 am to 11.15 pm.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs at the FBO. Operators are asked not to fly between midnight and 6.30 am.
Customs around the clock and no weight limit. The choice for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.
Customs around the clock, no weight limit, and the only FBO is Signature. Useful when Teterboro is closed by weather or a security restriction.
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.
A Praetor 600 and anything from a heavy jet upwards fly New York to London without a stop. The Legacy 650 is our standard proposal. The Gulfstream G650 is quieter and faster, with a lower cabin altitude that makes an overnight flight feel shorter. A Challenger 350 usually crosses with one fuel stop. For large groups, VIP airliners depart from JFK into Stansted or Luton.
Aircraft pages for this route: Bombardier Challenger 350, Embraer Praetor 600, Cessna Citation X+, Bombardier Challenger 605, Embraer Legacy 650, Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, Dassault Falcon 900, Gulfstream G550, Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus ACJ320neo.
Twelve to fourteen seats and a stand-up cabin, non-stop in under seven hours. A Legacy 650 crosses with margin.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats, a bedroom and a lower cabin altitude for a proper night's sleep. The Gulfstream G650 makes Teterboro to London in about six and a half hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Eighteen seats and above in the Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet, from JFK or Newark.
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 Teterboro, Westchester, JFK or Newark. Westbound into the headwind allow about seven and a half hours non-stop; the morning departure from London lands in New York before lunch.
In UN week and over Thanksgiving, Teterboro's arrival slots are the scarce resource, and Westchester or Newark carry the overflow. We secure the return slot when we book the outbound.
Flying into New York from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to New York.
We do not own a fleet. Each New York 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 Teterboro 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 £37,000 in a super-midsize jet; about £50,000 in a heavy jet; about £63,000 in an ultra-long-range jet; about £110,000 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 6 hours 45 flight time 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 New York: Teterboro, Westchester County, John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty. Into London: Farnborough, London Luton, Biggin Hill and London Stansted. 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.
