Berlin to London is 947 km west, about 1 h 37 min in the air, Berlin Brandenburg to London Luton, normally on a light / midsize jet. Give us the dates and the passenger count and a written quotation follows within 30 minutes; the operations desk is staffed at every hour on +357 95 119759.
A business sector rather than a holiday one, and it shows in the calendar: this route is at its busiest in the spring and the autumn and at its quietest in August. Out in the morning, back in the evening, is the usual shape. Arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTE947 km west, about an hour and a half in the air, and almost always flown for work. That single fact shapes everything else on this page. The aircraft is chosen for the number of people who need to arrive able to think rather than for range; the airport at the London end is chosen for the postcode of your meeting rather than for the runway; and the busy weeks are the working ones, which is why this sector is at its easiest in the fortnight when every Mediterranean route is at its hardest.
One airport at the Berlin end and a three-way choice at the London end, and on a day trip that choice is worth more than anything else on this page. An hour saved on the ground in London is an hour you did not spend in the air to save.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berlin Brandenburg | BER / EDDB | 947 km | Your departure: the city's airport, and the practical starting point for Berlin, Potsdam and the surrounding Brandenburg. Tell us the hour you need to be in London and we work the departure back from it rather than the other way round. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | arrival | The default arrival on this sector. North London and the M1, and the deepest choice of business aircraft in the UK on any given day, which is what makes a short-notice booking on this route realistic in the first place. |
| London Biggin Hill | BQH / EGKB | alternative arrival | South and south-east London, Kent and the City. If your meeting is east of the river or in the Square Mile, this is usually the shorter half of the journey by road even when it is the longer one by air. |
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | alternative arrival | Surrey, Hampshire and the west, plus the Thames Valley. Purely business aviation with no scheduled traffic at all, which makes it the quickest of the three to get off and away from. |

947 km sits comfortably inside the light jet band, so nothing on this sector is chosen for its range. What is chosen is the cabin: how many of you there are, whether the hour and a half is meant to be working time, and what is in the hold behind you.
The usual answer for a small party on a day trip. A light jet that covers this sector without thinking about it, and the type most often free at short notice on a corridor as busy as this one.
See the Phenom 300 ›A stand-up midsize cabin, and the choice when six or eight people need to arrive having actually worked on the way over rather than merely having travelled.
See the Citation XLS+ ›The step up for a larger group or a heavier load: a full galley, a separate lavatory and the hold volume for a delegation travelling with more than briefcases.
See the Hawker 800XP ›All three types are on our own fleet pages. Larger cabins can be arranged on this sector too.
We publish no fixed figure for Berlin to London. On a sector flown mostly for work, the shape of the trip moves the price more than the distance does: the same 947 km costs one thing when the aircraft drops you and goes, and another when it waits at Luton for eight hours and takes you home.
The public reference points are hourly rates for the aircraft class rather than prices for the route. Brokers publish EUR 4,600 to 9,700 per hour for European light and midsize jets, others quote from EUR 2,900 to 3,500 per hour, and others publish USD 3,750 to 4,600 per hour, all retrieved in 2026. They are worth having in order to check a quotation you have been given, ours included, and they are no use for building one.
Multiply an hourly rate by 1 h 37 and you have priced the flying and nothing else: not the crew day, not the landing and handling at Berlin and at Luton, not the hours the aircraft spends on the ground in England waiting for your afternoon to finish, and not where it came from that morning. Ask us for the day-return version and the one-way version side by side; on this route the difference between them is the interesting number. Send us your dates and we quote within 30 minutes.

Read this calendar the other way up from a holiday route. The busy weeks here are the working ones, the quiet weeks are the ones everybody else is away in, and the whole pattern belongs to the business year rather than to the weather.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| March to June | The first and longer of the two peaks. The business calendar is at full stretch at both ends of the sector and the light and midsize aircraft that fly it are the ones everyone else wants as well. | Ask as soon as the meeting is in the diary. The constraint is which aircraft is standing where at your hour, and a few days' notice changes what we can offer. |
| July and August | August is the quiet month on this corridor. The business traffic stops while the leisure routes to the Mediterranean are at their most impossible, so the fleet in northern Europe is easier to reach than at any other time of year. | The best weeks of the year to buy this sector at short notice, and the ones where a day return is easiest to arrange at the hour you actually want. |
| September to November | The second peak, and the busiest weeks for a day trip in either direction. Conferences, quarter ends and board meetings all sit in this window. | Book early and give us both hours - the meeting and the way home - rather than only the date, so the ground time at the London end can be arranged around your afternoon. |
| December to February | The second half of December is quiet: the business year stops. January and February pick the pattern back up without reaching the spring peak. | Short notice is realistic through this window. If your dates bend, the late-December fortnight is where the fleet is least busy. |
On a day trip the London airport decides the day. All three of the fields below are business-aviation arrivals with their own page on this site, and picking by postcode rather than by habit is usually worth more than anything we could do in the air.
The default arrival for north London and the M1, and the field with the deepest aircraft availability in the country on any given day.
Private jet to London Luton ›South and south-east London, Kent and the City. The right choice when the meeting is east of the river.
Private jet to London Biggin Hill ›Surrey, Hampshire, the west and the Thames Valley. No scheduled traffic at all, so the quickest turn on the ground of the three.
Private jet to Farnborough ›Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
