The westbound transatlantic run, London or Paris to Los Angeles, is one of the longest legs in private aviation and a route we handle for clients heading to Southern California for business, entertainment, or home. It calls for an ultra-long-range jet and precise fuel-and-winds planning, and because aircraft reposition in both directions across the Atlantic, it’s another route where a one-way rate can meaningfully beat standard retail.
What it costs
| Route | Aircraft class | One-way, pre-tax |
|---|---|---|
| London / Paris → Los Angeles | Long-range heavy jet | $110,000 to $130,000 |
Westbound flights fight the headwinds, so aircraft range and payload matter. We source one-way and repositioning opportunities on this corridor, flexibility on dates is what lets us find them.
Airports
Departing London (Farnborough / Luton / Biggin Hill) or Paris (Le Bourget), we arrive at Los Angeles (LAX), Van Nuys (VNY), or John Wayne (SNA) in Orange County, whichever is closest to your final destination. Slots, permits, and customs are handled on both ends.
Which aircraft
This route requires an ultra-long-range jet (Gulfstream G650, Global 7500, and similar) with the legs to cross westbound nonstop and a cabin built for an eleven-plus-hour day. We book only operators certified for international long-haul and match cabin size to your group.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from London to Los Angeles?
Around 11 hours or more westbound, depending on winds and routing.
Can I land in Orange County instead of LAX?
Yes, John Wayne (SNA) and Van Nuys (VNY) both handle these arrivals. We’ll route you to whichever airport is closest to where you’re headed.
Why consider a one-way rate?
Transatlantic aircraft repositioning creates one-way and empty-leg pricing that can run well below standard round-trip retail. We specialize in finding these.
