Private Jet Sydney to Bora Bora

The long Pacific crossing from Sydney to Bora Bora covers approximately 3,233 nautical miles, carrying travellers from the harbour city of Australia towards the fabled lagoons of French Polynesia in a little over six hours. A capable super-mid-size jet is suited to the leg, and an aircraft such as the Gulfstream G280 or the Bombardier Challenger 350 offers the range and cabin comfort required for a crossing of this length over open ocean. Cruising in the low forties of thousands of feet, these jets make the most of favourable winds across the South Pacific, and their long-legged efficiency allows the journey to be completed with the reserves that ocean flying demands. Departures are made from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, where international handling and private facilities allow travellers to begin the journey in comfort. The gateway to the islands is Fa’a’a International Airport near Papeete, from where the final approach to Bora Bora is completed by a short island connection. Bora Bora itself needs little introduction, ringed by a shallow turquoise lagoon and crowned by the emerald slopes of Mount Otemanu. Its overwater villas, coral gardens and warm, clear waters have made it one of the most sought-after destinations in the world. This route suits honeymooners, celebrants and discerning leisure travellers seeking the seclusion of the South Pacific, as well as those willing to cross a great expanse of ocean for one of the planet’s most beautiful lagoons. The comfort and range of a well-appointed super-mid-size cabin make the long crossing an experience to be savoured rather than merely endured on the way to paradise.
