About 10 hr 50 min in the air, international — with the aircraft, airports and ground transfers arranged in one proposal.
London to San Francisco is one of the longest non-stop private flights there is — about 10 hr 50 min — and only the largest business jets make it without a fuel stop. For this route we usually recommend a large jet such as the Global 6000; a long range adds cabin space for larger parties or longer stays on board.
You depart from Farnborough (FAB) and land at San Francisco International (SFO). Immigration and customs are handled privately at both ends, away from the main terminal.
