Flying privately from New York to London offers unparalleled flexibility and convenience, allowing travelers to choose departure times and airports according to their preferences. However, this luxury comes at a significant cost compared to commercial flights.

In New York City, private jet users often prefer Teterboro Airport in Bergen County, New Jersey, over the larger international airports such as John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia International Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Teterboro is favored for its proximity to Manhattan and specialized facilities for private aviation, although it imposes a weight limit of 100,000 pounds on aircraft.

Similarly, in London, while major airports like Heathrow (LHR) and Gatwick (LGW) are key hubs for commercial airlines, private jet travelers tend to use alternatives like London Luton Airport (LTN), which is popular for business jet travel due to its location near the city center.

For those flying this route on ultra-long-range jets such as the Gulfstream G800 or Bombardier Global 7500, costs range from $84,000 to $98,000 according to Evo Jets. These jets can accommodate more passengers and cover the distance without refueling stops. Heavy jets offer a slightly less expensive option at $58,000 to $71,000 but still manage the trip non-stop with up to 16 passengers.

Smaller super-midsize jets require refueling stops but provide a more economical choice at $52,000 to $63,000 per trip. Travelers seeking additional savings might consider fractional ownership or jet card programs that reduce per-flight expenses by spreading costs across multiple users or pre-paid flight hours.

Overall, while flying privately from New York City to London offers unmatched convenience and comfort tailored specifically for each traveler’s needs, it requires a substantial financial commitment relative to traditional commercial options.
