Private Jet Florence to Atherton

The route between Florence and Atherton stretches some 8,012 nautical miles, an exceptional sector carrying travellers from the heart of Tuscany across Europe, the Atlantic and the width of North America to the San Francisco peninsula. A journey of this magnitude calls for the very largest cabins, with an executive airliner or the longest-legged business jets such as the Bombardier Global 7500 best suited to the crossing, and even then a sector of this length is likely to require a planned technical stop. These aircraft cruise at altitudes approaching 51,000 feet, holding a steady ride across the ocean and the continent, with cabins offering full berths, showers and separate rest and dining areas so passengers may sleep through much of the long passage west. It is worth noting that the runway at Florence is comparatively short, and planning for so long a journey takes careful account of its limitations. Departures are handled from Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport, the gateway to the Renaissance city of art. On arrival at Palo Alto Airport, guests are moments from Atherton and the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the wealthiest and most innovative regions in the world. The route serves a rare traveller, linking the culture of Tuscany with the technology corridor of California. The range and comfort of an executive airliner make even so vast a crossing manageable, delivering passengers rested despite the many hours and time zones aloft. For those bound from Florence to the San Francisco peninsula, the sector represents private aviation reaching almost halfway around the globe.
