Le Bourget to the London airport that suits you

Paris to London is 215 miles, about an hour in the air in any cabin. Le Bourget is thirty minutes from the 8th and handles almost every private departure from Paris, so the choice that matters is at the London end.

London City lands you fifteen minutes from the Square Mile and takes the light and midsize jets. Biggin Hill suits the City and Canary Wharf in a larger cabin, Farnborough the west and Surrey, Luton the north and late arrivals.

UK Border Force clears you inside the private terminal, and we book the car at both ends with the aircraft.

Which London airport to land at is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in London: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.

What the flight costs

Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; handling and any overnight parking in London are quoted separately.

A same-day return with the aircraft waiting in London is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Royal Ascot and Wimbledon fill the London airports, so on those dates we confirm the slot with the price.

The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Aircraft that suit an hour's flight

For an hour in the air, a light or midsize jet is the sensible choice, and both can land at London City. Move up to a super-midsize or heavy cabin for a larger party, a lot of luggage, or a meeting on board.

Aircraft are drawn from operators at both ends of the route, so positioning is rarely the constraint.

When London fills up

London is busy all year, but on these dates the airports' slots and parking go first and the aircraft based here are spoken for.

  1. June Royal Ascot and the summer season Five days of racing and a full social calendar. Farnborough is at capacity for arrivals from the Gulf and the US.
  2. Late June to July Wimbledon Two weeks of steady inbound traffic, with the finals weekend the tightest.
  3. July, even years Farnborough International Airshow Farnborough closes to most business traffic for the show week; flights move to Luton, Biggin Hill and Stansted.
  4. October Frieze London Collectors and galleries arrive in the same week. Biggin Hill and Farnborough parking fills early.
  5. December to January Christmas and New Year Outbound to the Gulf, the Caribbean and the Alps peaks in the fortnight before Christmas; the return wave is the first week of January.

London to Paris

The return leaves from London City, Farnborough, Biggin Hill or Luton and lands at Le Bourget, with Schengen border control inside the terminal. Flight time is the same hour.

Le Bourget is open around the clock, but the noisiest aircraft are restricted between 10 pm and 6 am. For a day return, the aircraft and crew wait in London and leave when you are ready.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet from Paris to London cost?

Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about £6,500 in a light jet; about £7,500 in a midsize jet; about £11,000 in a super-midsize jet; about £15,000 in a heavy jet. Handling and overnight parking are quoted separately once we know your dates, and a same-day return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.

How long is the flight?

About an hour from take-off to landing, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Door to door from central Paris to central London, allow around two hours.

Which London airport should I land at?

London City for the City and Canary Wharf in a light or midsize jet; Biggin Hill for the same area in a larger cabin; Farnborough for the west, Surrey and Berkshire; Luton for the north and for late arrivals. Each is described above with its drive time.

How do immigration and customs work on arrival?

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.

Can my dog travel with me?

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.

Can I pay for the charter with crypto?

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.

Do you arrange the car at each end?

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.

Where would you like to fly?

Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
