Ultra-long-range jets fly non-stop where other aircraft need to refuel: London to Miami, Los Angeles, Dubai and beyond. The cabins are the largest in business aviation short of a converted airliner, with around six feet two inches of headroom, three living zones and the option of an aft stateroom.
They cruise at up to 51,000 feet, above airline traffic and most weather. For the largest parties, a VIP airliner such as the Embraer Lineage 1000 adds five cabin zones and a private bedroom.
Best for
- Transatlantic and other long-haul flights, non-stop
- Overnight sectors with beds made up
- Nine to nineteen passengers
