New York to Paris links two of the world's fashion, art and finance capitals, and it is one of the classic transatlantic private routes. Most private flights land at Le Bourget (LBG), Europe's busiest business-aviation airport and Paris's dedicated one, close to the city's north side; Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the alternative. Travelers come for Fashion Week, art fairs, business meetings and summer trips that continue to the Riviera or Provence. An overnight eastbound flight lets you arrive in the morning ready for the day.
