Transatlantic & US Transcontinental Private Jet Charter
Crossing the Atlantic or the breadth of the United States by private jet means flying non-stop, on your own schedule, from the airport nearest you. New York to London clears comfortably on a heavy or ultra-long-range cabin; Miami to London asks for the range of an ultra-long-range jet against headwinds and payload. Coast to coast — New York to Los Angeles — is a super-midsize day, while New York to Miami and the leisure hops to Las Vegas and Los Cabos sit in the light and super-light classes. Indicative fares run from €8,300 for a short Western leg to around €150,000 for Miami to London one-way, whole aircraft.
We are an independent private jet charter brokerage. We arrange these aircraft through certified operators — EASA AOC holders, and on US legs operators certified to the equivalent standard — rather than operating a fleet of our own. That distinction matters: with no aircraft to fill, we recommend the right tail for the crossing, the party and the timing, and quote it clearly in euros with every line set out.
Long legs reward planning. The right aircraft depends on the loaded weight of your party and luggage, the season and the prevailing winds, and the airports at either end. We work backwards from the worst-case day on your route, so the cabin we recommend clears it without a fuel stop or a compromise on comfort. What follows sets out how we think about the two halves of the picture: the Atlantic crossings, where range is the first question, and the domestic legs, where distance and tempo decide the cabin.
Transatlantic: New York and Miami to London
The Atlantic is a range question before it is anything else. The cabin that clears your origin to London non-stop, against winter headwinds and with a full party and luggage aboard, is the cabin that decides whether the day is one flight or two.
New York to London is the classic crossing. Eastbound, with the jet stream behind you, a heavy jet makes it comfortably in around seven hours; the same aircraft westbound, into the wind, may sit closer to its limit with a full cabin, which is where range margin earns its keep. We size the tail to the loaded weight and the season, not the brochure range.
Miami to London is the longer leg, and it is where the ultra-long-range class comes into its own. Close to nine hours in the air, often into prevailing winds, this is a route where payload and range trade against each other — carry a full party and you want the reserve that only an ultra-long-range cabin provides. It is also a route where the cabin itself matters: on a long transatlantic day, a flat bed, a quiet cabin and a proper galley are the difference between arriving ready and arriving worn.
The Atlantic also rewards flexibility at the ends. Flying privately lets you choose the airport that suits the trip rather than the one the airlines serve, which can shorten the drive at both ends and ease the formalities on arrival. We hold your preferred departure window and brief you on the practicalities — customs, slots and the timing that keeps a long crossing from running into the evening. On the eastbound red-eye, that planning is what lets you sleep across the ocean and step off in London ready for the day.
- Range first: the aircraft must clear the leg non-stop with your loaded weight, not an empty one
- Winds and season: westbound and winter legs eat into range; we plan for the worst-case day
- Cabin on a long day: a heavy or ultra-long-range cabin gives a flat bed, standing room and a galley that earns its place over eight or nine hours
- Heavy versus ultra-long-range: New York to London is within heavy-jet reach; Miami to London leans ultra-long-range — see heavy jets and ultra-long-range jets
US transcontinental and leisure legs
Within the United States the story shifts from ocean to distance and tempo. Coast to coast is a long domestic leg that rewards a capable cabin; the leisure hops are short, frequent and forgiving, where a light jet does the job without ceremony.
New York to Los Angeles is the transcontinental benchmark — a little over five hours on a super-midsize cabin, with the standing room and range to cross the country in a single hop. Westbound into headwinds it is a genuine range leg, so we confirm the tail against the day rather than the average.
New York to Miami is the busy Northeast-to-Florida run — under three hours on a super-light jet, the kind of leg flown several times a week by those who keep a foot in both cities. It is a route where the value of charter is less about range and more about time: no terminal, no connection, and a departure that waits for you rather than the other way around. For a regular flyer, the hours saved across a season add up.
The Western leisure hops are shorter still. Los Angeles to Las Vegas is well under an hour — a light jet, often turned around the same day. Los Angeles to Los Cabos drops down to the Baja coast in a little over two hours on a super-light cabin, a favourite for a long weekend on the water.
On these shorter legs the calculus is different from the Atlantic. Range is rarely the constraint, so the choice is about the right cabin for the party and the value of the trip rather than the limit of the aircraft. A light jet that carries four or five in comfort is the sensible answer for Vegas or a Baja weekend; a larger cabin only earns its cost when the party or the schedule asks for it. We say so plainly, because our advice is not tied to any one tail — the point of working with an independent broker is that the recommendation follows the trip, not an aircraft we need to keep busy.
Whether the trip is a single coast-to-coast crossing or a string of short hops over a weekend, we arrange each leg as one considered itinerary, with a single advisor across the whole plan and a clear euro figure for every sector. The aircraft may change between the long legs and the short ones; the standard of the service does not.
- Coast to coast: super-midsize range and cabin for the single-hop crossing
- Short leisure hops: light and super-light jets for Vegas, Cabo and the Florida run — right-sized, not over-specified
- Same-day turns: the short Western legs lend themselves to a there-and-back day without an overnight

They move with the season, the specific tail, headwinds and airport fees, and we re-confirm every figure against live operator quotes before you commit. Flight times are typical and vary with winds and routing.

Frequently asked questions
Which private jet can fly New York to London non-stop?
A heavy jet clears New York to London comfortably, typically in around seven hours eastbound with the jet stream behind you. Westbound, into the wind and with a full party aboard, the same aircraft sits closer to its range limit, so we size the tail to your loaded weight and the season rather than the brochure figure. Indicative pricing is from €86,500 one-way for the whole aircraft.
Why does Miami to London need an ultra-long-range jet?
Miami to London is close to nine hours in the air, often into prevailing winds. At that distance, payload and range trade against each other — carry a full party and luggage and you want the reserve that an ultra-long-range cabin provides. It is also a route where the cabin earns its place: a flat bed, a quiet cabin and a proper galley make the long day far easier. Indicative pricing is from €150,000 one-way.
What does a transcontinental private jet across the US cost?
New York to Los Angeles, the coast-to-coast benchmark, is around five hours on a super-midsize cabin and runs from €57,500 one-way for the whole aircraft. The figure moves with the season, the specific tail, headwinds and airport fees. Westbound into headwinds it is a genuine range leg, so we confirm the aircraft against the day rather than the average.
How much is a short leisure hop like LA to Las Vegas or Los Cabos?
The Western leisure legs sit in the light and super-light classes. Los Angeles to Las Vegas is well under an hour on a light jet, from €8,300 one-way, and often turned around the same day. Los Angeles to Los Cabos is a little over two hours on a super-light cabin, from €16,500 one-way. Both are right-sized rather than over-specified.
Do you operate these aircraft yourselves?
No. We are an independent charter brokerage and we arrange every flight through certified operators — EASA AOC holders, and on US legs operators certified to the equivalent standard. With no fleet of our own to fill, our advice is independent: we recommend the right tail for the crossing and quote it clearly in euros, with every line set out.
