Route guide
Popular private jet routes
Each of these covers the airports business aviation actually uses on that city pair, the distance, roughly how long it takes, and the thing that constrains it — which is usually an airport slot or a crew duty limit rather than the aircraft.
- TEBFAB
New York to London
Teterboro · Farnborough
The busiest private transatlantic leg there is. Teterboro to Farnborough or Luton avoids both Kennedy and Heathrow, which on a normal day saves more time on the ground than the aircraft saves in the air.
- Distance
- 3,010 nm
- Block time
- about 6h 30m–7h 30m eastbound, 7h 30m–8h 30m westbound
- TEBOPF
New York to Miami
Teterboro · Opa-locka Executive
The most chartered domestic leg in the United States, and the one where light jets earn their keep. Opa-locka and Fort Lauderdale Executive are both closer to most Miami destinations than Miami International.
- Distance
- 950 nm
- Block time
- about 2h 30m–3h
- VNYLAS
Los Angeles to Las Vegas
Van Nuys · Harry Reid
Short enough that the aircraft category barely changes the arrival time, which makes it the clearest case in charter for choosing on cabin and cost rather than on speed.
- Distance
- 205 nm
- Block time
- about 55m–1h 10m
- LTNNCE
London to Nice
Luton · Côte d'Azur
The established European leisure charter route, and one where the calendar dominates everything. Nice handles a large share of European business aviation traffic in a few summer weeks.
- Distance
- 560 nm
- Block time
- about 1h 45m–2h 10m
- TEBVNY
New York to Los Angeles
Teterboro · Van Nuys
The classic transcontinental. It is the leg where the difference between a midsize and a super-midsize stops being about comfort and starts being about whether you stop for fuel.
- Distance
- 2,150 nm
- Block time
- about 5h–5h 45m westbound, 4h 15m–5h eastbound
- FABGVA
London to Geneva
Farnborough · Genève Aéroport
A short, dense business and ski route. Geneva is the gateway for most of the French and Swiss Alps, and the winter peaks on this leg are sharp and predictable.
- Distance
- 425 nm
- Block time
- about 1h 30m–1h 50m
Why we publish no prices here
Charter is priced per aircraft per leg, and the largest variable is where the aircraft happens to be. The same New York to Miami flight can differ by thousands depending on whether a suitable aircraft is already sitting at Teterboro or has to be flown in from elsewhere — and that changes day to day.
A “from” figure on a page like this would be a number picked from the most favourable day of the year and shown to everyone. Send us the leg and the dates and you get a real one, built the way the charter page describes.
