Private Jet El Paso to Crete

El Paso sits in the far west of Texas, where the Rio Grande forms the border with Mexico and the city faces Ciudad Juárez across the river. This non-stop route to Crete covers about 6,870 miles and takes roughly 11 hours and 45 minutes, a distance that calls for an ultra-long range jet or an executive airliner. Travellers flying to Heraklion International Airport arrive on Crete, the largest of the Greek islands. Many go to see the Minoan palace of Knossos, which lies a short distance south of Heraklion, or to walk the Samaria Gorge in the White Mountains. The island’s coastline, mountain villages and long history under Venetian and Ottoman rule give it a character quite unlike the Greek mainland, and its local food and wine are a draw in their own right. The journey crosses several time zones, so travellers should expect a considerable change in local time on arrival.
