Five living areas, beds for as many as thirteen, and a range that puts most of the world within one flight of London. The largest cabin Gulfstream has put into service.
At a glance
Manufacturer figures for the type. Every quote names the actual aeroplane, its cabin layout and its operator, because individual aircraft differ a great deal in this class.
Why it matters
The G650 already flies almost anywhere anyone charters to. What the G700 adds is roughly ten more feet of cabin, and that changes the way a long flight is used rather than where it can go. Five zones means a club four at the front, a conference or dining area, a lounge, a proper galley and a rear stateroom with its own shower, all at once, without anybody's meeting happening over somebody else's sleep.
The other number to look at is the cabin altitude: about 2,840 feet at 41,000 feet, which is unusually low. On a thirteen hour sector that is the difference between landing in Singapore ready to work and landing wanting a dark room. The windows are the largest Gulfstream fits, and on a night crossing the cabin lighting system is set to the destination rather than the departure, which sounds like marketing until you have done it.
G700s are arranged with licensed commercial operators. It is a new type, there are not many in European charter fleets, and availability on a given date is the real constraint. We will tell you plainly whether one can be had for your trip or whether the honest answer is a G650, a Global 7500 or a Falcon 8X.
Reach from London
| Destination | Roughly | Realistic non-stop? |
|---|---|---|
| New York | About 3,000 nm | Yes, in both directions and in any weather |
| Dubai | About 2,950 nm | Yes, with a great deal of margin |
| Johannesburg | About 4,850 nm | Yes, comfortably |
| Los Angeles | About 4,750 nm | Yes, including westbound against a winter jet stream |
| Hong Kong | About 5,200 nm | Yes, and quickly if the curfew at the far end matters |
| Singapore | About 5,900 nm | Yes, with margin the older types do not have |
| Sydney | About 9,200 nm | No. Beyond any business jet. One stop, usually in Asia or the Gulf |
Great circle distances, rounded, for planning only. What the aircraft will do on the day depends on the wind, the load and the runway at each end, and we check the real figures for your trip.
Range on the map
The ring is the published range drawn as a true circle on the globe, which is why it bends on a flat map. Change the departure to see the reach from anywhere.
Gulfstream G700 from Farnborough Airport (FAB). The solid ring is the published range, 7,750 nautical miles; the dashed ring is 85% of it, 6,588 nautical miles, the still-air planning figure we use to leave a sensible reserve. Winds, payload and reserves reduce real range, so every trip is checked on the day.
Said honestly
Where it flies from and to
The alternatives
On any long sector at least one of these will be offered alongside, and on many dates one of them is simply the better answer.
What the cabin is for
The G700 is worth the premium when the flight has to be used, not merely survived.

Questions people ask
We arrange the charter with a licensed commercial operator and name the aircraft, its cabin layout and its operator before you commit to anything. Our own cars and chauffeurs cover London and Manchester, and elsewhere vehicles are arranged through operators we know, so the car is at the steps whichever airport the aircraft uses.
About ten feet of cabin, a fifth living area, a lower cabin altitude and a little more range and speed. The G650 goes almost everywhere the G700 goes. You are paying for what happens inside the aeroplane during those hours, and for a newer airframe.
Up to thirteen can, which is the manufacturer's figure and matches what the cabins are actually built for. Fill all nineteen seats and several people will spend the night sitting up, so it is worth telling us the sleeping requirement rather than just the headcount.
Farnborough handles large business jets regularly, subject to the aircraft, the load and the day. A maximum-fuel departure is runway limited on this type, so on some trips the aeroplane goes from a larger airport and the car takes you there instead. We check it against your actual trip rather than assume.
Not many. It is a recent type and most of the fleet is privately held rather than on charter certificates, so the practical question is where a suitable one is on your date and what it costs to bring it to you.
It depends on the route, the date and where a suitable aircraft is, and positioning matters more on this type than almost any other. See what private jet charter costs, and send us the trip for a real figure.
