Private Jet Megève to Gustavia

The long transatlantic route from Megeve to Gustavia covers approximately 3,789 nautical miles, linking the French Alps with the Caribbean island of Saint Barthelemy in around seven and a quarter hours. The distance rewards a heavy jet, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550 or the Bombardier Global 6000 are well suited to the ocean crossing, offering the range to make the leg non-stop with reserves to spare and cabins built for long-sector comfort. Cruising in the low forties of thousands of feet, these jets carry passengers across France, the Iberian Peninsula and the breadth of the Atlantic, arriving where the mountains give way to the warm blue of the West Indies. Departures begin at Megeve Altiport, the celebrated alpine field serving one of France’s most fashionable mountain resorts, from which travellers connect to the heavy jet for the transatlantic leg. Arrivals are made at Gustaf III Airport, the famously short and dramatic runway serving Saint Barthelemy, whose demanding approach is one of the most distinctive in aviation. The island of Saint Barthelemy, long a favourite of discerning travellers, is known for its chic harbour town of Gustavia, its designer boutiques, its fine restaurants and the string of pristine beaches that ring its shores. This route suits travellers moving between two of the most exclusive destinations in their respective worlds, exchanging the snows of the Alps for the sands of the Caribbean. The generous cabin of a heavy jet is particularly welcome over so long a sector, allowing a party to arrive in the islands rested and composed, ready to enjoy the particular glamour for which Saint Barthelemy has long been renowned across the world.
