Private Jet from London to Paris: Cost, Flight Time and Airports
What a charter costs, how long it takes, which airports to use and which aircraft fly it nonstop, from the desk that books it.

The Short Answer
A private jet from London to Paris costs about $15,500 to $27,000 one way on a midsize jet such as the Cessna Citation XLS+, by our Jet Fare Index estimate. The flight covers 214 miles and takes around 1 hour in the air. Stepping up to a super-midsize jet runs about $17,500 to $30,000.
That is the price of the whole aircraft, so it is split by everyone on board. It is an estimate from what clients paid on charters booked through our desk, not a quote: your dates, where the nearest aircraft sits and whether you fly back with the same jet all move it.
Key Takeaways
- About $15,500 to $27,000 one way on a midsize jet, or $17,500 to $30,000 on a super-midsize jet.
- 214 miles, around 1 hour in the air.
- Usually Farnborough (FAB), Luton (LTN) or London City (LCY) to Paris-Le Bourget (LBG).
- An empty leg on the route can cost well under the estimate. Check empty legs from the United Kingdom.

Airports at Each End
Farnborough (FAB) in Hampshire is built for business aviation. Luton (LTN) suits north London, Biggin Hill (BQH) the south east, and London City (LCY) the City and Canary Wharf, though its steep approach limits it to certain jets.
Paris-Le Bourget (LBG), north of the city, is the main business aviation airport for Paris and one of the busiest in Europe. Paris-Orly (ORY) in the south also takes private flights.
What to Know About the Route
At about an hour in the air, this is a short hop, so the fixed costs of a trip are a big share of the price. The Eurostar from St Pancras is the jet's real rival: a jet earns its price when the party is large, the luggage heavy, or the trip is a same-day round trip on your own schedule.
This is an international flight. Bring passports; you clear border control at both ends, and the operator files the paperwork.
How to Pay Less
Look for an empty leg: an aircraft repositioning on your route sells the flight for well under a full charter, though it can be cancelled if the owner needs the jet. Our empty-leg database lists the companies that publish them, and the desk checks them when it quotes.
Be flexible on time and airport. A departure that suits an aircraft already nearby saves the positioning flight that the estimate averages in, and a quieter airport can cost less to use.
If you are coming back within a day or two, ask for a round trip with the aircraft waiting as well as two one-way flights, and compare. Our guide to what a private jet costs lists the fees a full quote should include.
