London to New York is 5,536 km and about 7 h 20 min westbound, Luton to Teterboro. That is not a calculator figure: it is the median of six long-range business jets we found in Flightradar24 records for the first week of October 2026, flying from Luton and Farnborough to the New York airports. This is a long-range-jet route, quoted on request rather than with a printed floor. Call +357 95 119759 24/7 or send the form; written options within 30 minutes.
Leave London in the morning and land in New York before lunch, local time: the Atlantic in one non-stop flight.
REQUEST A QUOTEA transatlantic crossing for long-range cabins only. Flying west you gain five hours on the clock for most of the year, but the prevailing winds at cruising altitude are against you, so this direction is the slower one.

Two business-aviation departures in the London area and two arrivals in New York. Choose each end by where your day starts and where it finishes.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Teterboro | Why it is on this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | 5,536 km | Runway 2,162 m and the busiest business-aviation field in the United Kingdom, with 26,661 movements in 2023 (EBAA 2023). Two of the six tracked crossings left from here. |
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | 5,530 km | Runway 2,440 m and no scheduled airline traffic at all. Four of the six tracked crossings left from here; the sensible start for south-west London and Surrey. |
| Teterboro | TEB / KTEB | arrival | In New Jersey, with runways of 2,133 and 1,833 m and no scheduled airline traffic. The usual business-aviation arrival for Manhattan. |

Non-stop across the Atlantic against the wind needs a long-range aircraft. In the week we tracked, every crossing was flown by a large-cabin Global or Gulfstream.
The Global Express family was seen three times on this crossing in our tracking week. Our Global 6000 page lists thirteen or fourteen seats and 11,112 km of range.
Global 6000 ›Also seen three times. Our aircraft page lists it under its launch name, Global 7000: fifteen to seventeen seats, four cabin zones and 13,705 km of range.
Global 7000 ›Seen once, from Farnborough to Teterboro. Thirteen to nineteen seats and 13,890 km of published range, per our partner operators' aircraft page.
Gulfstream G650 ›Types from Flightradar24 records of this crossing, 30 September to 7 October 2026. Seat bands and ranges from our partner operators' aircraft pages. On this crossing we quote long-range jets only.
Price on request. We do not print a starting figure for London to New York on this page.
This crossing needs a long-range jet, and we do not reproduce a published starting rate for that class here. We give a written price against your dates instead of an estimate.
The price depends mainly on where a suitable long-range aircraft is on your date and on whether it flies back empty or waits for your return. Our US section publishes the return, New York to London, in dollars.
A written quotation against your dates follows within 30 minutes. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
GET A FIRM PRICEAt the altitudes where business jets cruise, the prevailing winds over the North Atlantic blow from west to east. Flying from London to New York you fly into them, which is why the measured flights take longer than a still-air calculation.
The return, eastbound, benefits from the same winds and is usually shorter. If you are planning a round trip, allow for the difference when you set meeting times at each end.
The same crossing from Le Bourget, if Paris is your starting point.
