Private Jet from New York to London: 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 New York to London costs about $55,000 to $95,000 one way on a heavy jet such as the Gulfstream G450, by our Jet Fare Index estimate. The flight covers 3,436 miles and takes around 8 hours in the air. Stepping up to an ultra-long-range jet runs about $65,000 to $111,000.
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.

Airports at Each End
Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey is the usual departure, with Westchester County (HPN) for the northern suburbs.
Farnborough (FAB), in Hampshire, is built for business aviation and is about an hour from central London by car. Luton (LTN) and Stansted (STN) serve the north and east of the city, and Biggin Hill (BQH) the south east.
What to Know About the Route
Flying east is faster than flying west, because the jet stream pushes you along. The same jet can fly London to New York noticeably slower, and on the strongest headwind days a smaller cabin may need a fuel stop going west.
This is an international flight. Bring passports, and check whether you need the UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation before you fly. You clear UK border control at the arrival airport; the operator files the paperwork.
For a transatlantic crossing, a heavy or ultra-long-range jet gives you a cabin to sleep in, with seats that turn into flat beds; ask how many beds each aircraft on your quote makes up.
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.
