Crossing the Atlantic on a private jet should feel like slipping into a perfectly run private members’ club at 45,000 feet. Calm. Seamless. Everything exactly where it should be. For Executive Golf & Leisure clients, the aircraft itself is never just transport. It’s part of the experience, shaping how rested you arrive, how productive the flight feels, and how memorable the journey becomes.
Long-haul private flying is about flow. Space to work when you want to work. Quiet when you want to sleep. Proper dining, not a tray on your lap. And for families, room to spread out so everyone arrives fresh rather than frazzled. The best aircraft make the Atlantic feel shorter than a domestic hop.
Below are the standout private jets for transatlantic travel today. Each delivers serious performance, but more importantly, each brings a different style of comfort to the journey.
Gulfstream G650
The Gulfstream G650 is the original transatlantic icon. Fast, high-flying, and beautifully refined, it has become the default choice for clients who want to cross oceans without compromise.
Cruising close to Mach 0.925 and operating above most commercial traffic, the G650 delivers a noticeably smoother, quieter ride. The cabin is cleverly divided into zones, so the flight never feels like one long corridor. Lounge forward, dine mid-cabin, then retreat to a private stateroom at the back. Everything has a place. Nothing feels rushed.
Gulfstream’s cabin pressurisation and altitude management make a real difference on arrival. You step off feeling sharper, not foggy. For overnight eastbound flights, that matters more than most people realise.
Dassault Falcon 7X
The Falcon 7X has a quiet confidence about it. It doesn’t shout. It just works beautifully. Its three-engine design gives it exceptional flexibility, opening up airports that other long-range jets simply can’t use.
Inside, the cabin feels purposeful and well thought through. Seating adapts easily from work mode to rest mode. Lighting and temperature are finely controlled. Noise levels stay low, which makes overnight crossings far more pleasant than you’d expect.
For travellers who value flexibility in destination and a relaxed, efficient cabin environment, the 7X delivers a surprisingly refined Atlantic crossing.
Bombardier Global 6000
The Global 6000 has long been a favourite for serious business travel. It feels balanced. Not showy. Not minimal. Just right.
The cabin layout allows meetings, dining, and rest to happen naturally without passengers getting in each other’s way. Connectivity is strong. Noise levels are impressively low. Seats fully recline, making proper sleep possible even on busy schedules.
For clients doing back-to-back transatlantic trips, or mixing meetings with downtime in the air, the Global 6000 is one of the most dependable choices available.
Gulfstream G700
The G700 is what happens when Gulfstream designs an aircraft around how people actually travel long-haul. Big journeys. Long nights. Multiple needs happening at once.
Up to five distinct living zones transform the cabin into something closer to a private residence than an aircraft. Dedicated dining areas. Separate lounges. A proper bedroom at the rear. Families love the separation. So do executives who want to switch cleanly between work and rest.
Low cabin altitude, panoramic windows, and carefully tuned lighting all add up to a calmer flight and better sleep. For clients who want the newest platform with the greatest sense of space and flow, the G700 stands at the very top of the tree.
Airbus ACJ220 VIP and Corporate Configuration
The ACJ220 sits in a category of its own. With a wide cabin and extraordinary range, it feels less like a jet and more like a private airborne residence.
Configured for VIP use, the interior spans multiple living zones. Dining rooms, lounges, cinema-style seating, and a full master suite with shower are all possible. Luggage capacity is generous, and the cabin environment is designed for long-duration comfort, making sleep and work noticeably easier than on smaller aircraft.
For clients travelling with larger groups, extended itineraries, or simply wanting maximum space and presence, the ACJ220 delivers something genuinely different.
Choosing the Right Aircraft
There’s no single answer to the best transatlantic private jet. It depends on how you travel.
Some clients prioritise sleep above all else. Others want speed, flexibility, or the ability to host meetings at altitude. Families value separation and calm. Business travellers want focus and flow.
At Executive Golf & Leisure, aircraft selection is part of the concierge process. Cabin layouts, luggage requirements, flight timing, and destination access are all considered before wheels ever leave the ground. The goal is simple. Make the Atlantic crossing feel easy. Almost forgettable. So you arrive ready for what matters next.
When it’s done properly, the journey becomes part of the pleasure.
