Private Jet Lubbock to Paro

Flying from Lubbock on the high plains of west Texas to Paro in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan covers about 8,160 miles, with a typical flight time of around 13 hours and 45 minutes. That distance is beyond the range of the longest business jets, so the journey requires a fuel stop, and an executive airliner is the aircraft best suited to this trip. Lubbock is home to Texas Tech University and is the birthplace of musician Buddy Holly. Paro sits in a broad valley surrounded by mountains and is the usual starting point for visits to Bhutan’s celebrated Buddhist sites, most notably Taktsang, the Tiger’s Nest monastery built on a cliff above the valley. Travellers come for mountain scenery, monasteries and a traditional way of life that contrasts sharply with the open Texas plains.
