Route overview

Private flights from London to New York

A premier transatlantic route for business leaders and frequent travelers, with private terminals on both ends that turn a long-haul crossing into a far more comfortable day.

Private flights from London to New York typically take about 7 hours 44 minutes nonstop, depending on the aircraft, prevailing winds, and North Atlantic routing. The crossing links the UK capital directly with the New York metropolitan area, skipping the connections, security lines, and long layovers that come with commercial transatlantic travel.

London Luton Airport (EGGW) offers dedicated terminals and efficient turnarounds suited to long-range departures, while Teterboro Airport (TEB) remains the New York area's leading private aviation gateway, just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan with no scheduled airline traffic to slow your arrival. Your charter advisor can confirm aircraft range and cabin configuration for the crossing before finalizing the itinerary.

Planning your trip

What to know before you fly

Confirm aircraft range for the crossing

A nonstop London to New York flight requires a long-range aircraft capable of the full transatlantic distance; your advisor will match cabin size and range to your passenger count and comfort preferences.

Plan around North Atlantic weather and routing

Winter storms, jet-stream winds, and North Atlantic Track routing can shift departure windows and flight time in either direction, so your crew will build in a practical buffer around the estimate.

Share passenger and customs details early

Passenger count, luggage, pets, and international customs and immigration requirements at both Luton and Teterboro all factor into planning, so sharing them early helps confirm the smoothest arrival process.
