Teterboro to Le Bourget overnight
New York to Paris is 3,630 miles, which a heavy jet flies non-stop in about seven hours with the jet stream behind it. Ultra-long-range cabins are faster. A super-midsize jet refuels at Gander or Shannon and arrives about ninety minutes later at a lower price.
The six-hour time difference makes the overnight the natural pattern: leave Teterboro at 8 pm, land at Le Bourget at 9 am. Le Bourget is Europe's busiest business airport and thirty minutes from the centre, with customs in the terminal and parking for everything up to a Boeing Business Jet.
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.
