The Best Private Jets for Long-Haul Flights
Whether you’re interested in a private jet charter for business or leisure, the importance of a quality long-haul flight experience can never be underestimated. Remote destinations are par for the course when you’re visiting some of the world’s most vibrant and productive cities, and arriving in the best physical and mental state can often be the difference between a mediocre trip and a memorable one. That’s why it’s crucial to consider your aircraft options. At Air Charter Service, our dedicated team of experts is always available to ensure you receive the tailored solution that suits your unique requirements.
Take a look at some of the best private jets for those extended journeys.
Bombardier Challenger 350
This luxuriously appointed super-mid-size private jet comfortably seats eight or nine passengers and is ideal for leisure and business travel. The super-quiet cabin, oversized windows, more than adequate baggage storage, and spacious seating arrangements ensure that passengers experience a stress-free and relaxing flight. A generously configured galley provides a perfect space for cabin crew to operate at maximum efficiency, enhancing the flight experience for all on board.
The Challenger has a range of approximately 3,560 miles, making it ideal for long-haul flights and very effective for shorter charter flights. The plane cruises at an altitude of 45,000 feet, achieving a speed of close to 540 miles per hour while consuming a very reasonable 178 gallons per hour of fuel. Requiring a runway length of 5,000 feet, the Challenger is compatible with the vast majority of destinations around the world. This top-performing aircraft makes it one of the most sought-after in the super-mid-size category.
Cessna Citation Sovereign
The Sovereign is one of the finest aircraft in the Citation family. Its superior design provides passengers with unparalleled comfort while producing the highest quality performance levels associated with aircraft in this category. As a private plane capable of seating up to 12 passengers and accommodating a crew strength of two, the Sovereign has proved its worth as a world leader in its class.
Cruising at altitudes in excess of 40,000 feet, a range of approximately 3,200 miles, and a max speed of 526 miles per hour, this plane is ideally placed to satisfy all types of travel. The Sovereign will get you to your destination in double-quick time while not compromising on flight enjoyment or luxury.
Gulfstream G280
With room for ten passengers covering two seating zones, the G280 is designed for maximum passenger comfort, with a floor area measuring somewhere between 20 and 30% more than most of the best large private jets in this class. Nineteen panoramic windows provide all passengers with the best in-flight viewing experience possible. State-of-the-art touch screen technology drives the cabin management system, ensuring that the needs of all on board are efficiently and effectively attended to.
With a cruising speed in excess of 494 miles per hour and a maximum range of 3,900 miles (depending on variables), the G280 has the versatility to cater for long-haul and short-trip requirements in equal measure. Designed and manufactured jointly by Gulfstream Aerospace and Israel Aerospace Industries, the G280 provides one of the best private flights out there.
Dassault Falcon 900EX DX LX
One of the most versatile aircraft in the world, the Falcon 900 series can deal with short runways at varying altitudes above sea level, giving it capabilities above and beyond its competitors in the Heavy Jet sector. This multifaceted jet is ideally suited to long-haul flights of approximately 5,460 miles, yet provides a highly satisfactory shorter-haul option. Seating 12 to 14 passengers in a double club configuration where all seats are fully adjustable, reclining, and with a swivel feature, passengers are guaranteed the most comfortable charter flight.
With a reduced passenger complement, seats can even be folded down to create a full-length bed option allowing a good night’s sleep on an overnight flight. The state-of-the-art cabin can accommodate any number of electronic devices, including copiers, scanners, television sets, and computers. In fact, the cabin is large enough to walk around in should you wish to do so. Cruising at a speed of approximately 576 miles per hour, the Falcon will get you to your destination feeling refreshed and ready to go.
Embraer Legacy 600 650
If you’re looking for a long-haul carrier with heritage and class, the Legacy 600 or 650 should factor heavily in your thinking. The best private jet is one that combines the luxury you expect from a bespoke travel solution with the economy and speed necessary to make the most of your time, and the Legacy delivers on both. It provides more than ample space, with up to 13 passengers (depending on configuration) able to enjoy the ride in its cavernous cabin, which always helps to stave off the effects of longer flights.
With a max range of about 3765 miles, it features advanced avionics as well as 240 cubic feet worth of luggage space, making it perfect for extended trips that require more than a few pieces of luggage. Private jet cost is invariably a consideration, and due to its impressive fuel efficiency, the Legacy 600 and 650 performs equally well over shorter distances and should factor into your thinking even at smaller flight ranges.
