On private jet flights across the Atlantic, as well as a Captain and Co-pilot, there will also be an additional pilot. This is a requirement that also means the other pilots can take turns to rest on non-stop long haul flights. This also allows more flexibility around crew duty restrictions, which limit the time that pilots can fly without a crew change.
PrivateFly arranges any flight permits that are required for passengers travelling across the Atlantic, but this process is swift and does not usually add any delay to flight planning, even for flights at short notice. But on weekends there are more limitations. US registered aircraft, for example, cannot perform a short notice flight to the UK on a Sunday as the CAA office is closed so cannot grant permits. more
There is often some level of turbulence on any flight across the Atlantic, due to the jet streams across the ocean. Private jets cannot avoid turbulence altogether, but the crew will be very experienced at handling it, and pilots will often communicate with each other offering ‘ride reports’ about the best track and altitude to fly for the smoothest ride. (Pilot-speak for checking on turbulence is ‘How’s the ride?’)
Passengers have access to a Wi-Fi connexion (additional cost) and an entertainment system. Onboard, a flight attendant provides tailor-made services and guarantees the security of the passengers. more

Jet Sizes Play an Important Role

The vast majority of these jets are in fact converted commercial airliners and they have been fully retrofitted to make your private flying experience as comfortable as possible. Many heavy jets contain fully kitted conference rooms, offices and full service galleys and they normally accommodate between 10 and 18 passengers. These jets have been especially designed to fly transatlantic routes and many of them can fly for more than 6,000 miles non-stop – even in relatively poor weather conditions. A few examples of these include Boeing Business Jets, various Airbus models, Gulfstream G500, G550 and G650 and the Bombardier Global and Challenger models.
There are some transatlantic aircrafts that once served military purposes but now provide passenger travel to multiple points around the globe. Crafts of this type are refitted with essentials like comfortable seating, sleeping spaces, and galleys. There are often state of the art entertainment systems on board, making it easy to enjoy music, movies, and other forms of amusements during a long flight.
When you have a smaller group and would prefer not to share the space with other parties, you could opt for smaller crafts capable of traveling long distances. A good example is the Pilatus PC-12. While the basic design is almost three decades old, Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland has made continual updates to the design and the efficiency of these turboprop planes. An interesting side-note is that the PC-12 was designed by a business that typically caters to military needs only. All that know-how was brought to bear in the design and the subsequent updates over the years. more
As with domestic flights, your transatlantic flight allows you to avoid the usual hassle of waiting to collect your luggage or having to wait for long times at a gate. There will still be the need to go through customs, but even that process is a little easier when you arrive on a private flight. If you want to complete the process of entering the country of destination faster and with less fuss, a private flight is the way to go.
