Private Jet Charter to Thailand from the UK

Fourteen hours in the air, one stop in Dubai and a landing permit that must be on file before the wheels leave Britain: that is the shape of a private flight to Thailand, and the permit is the part that decides the date. Private Jets UK plans a Thai charter around that approval and around a choice of arrival airport that suits the purpose of the trip, since Bangkok, Phuket, Samui and Chiang Mai are four different operations with four different sets of rules. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. In Thailand that means a handler booked at the airport, a slot requested where the field is coordinated, and a plan for the last stretch, which is a short drive in Bangkok, a long transfer to a beach on the Andaman coast and a ferry from Samui to the next island.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Thailand depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from London Biggin Hill, a Bombardier Challenger 605 to Bangkok Don Mueang with one technical stop in Dubai and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Thailand?

Thailand keeps the same time all year, seven hours ahead of Universal Time, which makes it six hours ahead of Britain in summer and seven in winter. A jet that leaves a London airfield in the morning therefore lands in the small hours or early morning of the next day. The sectors below are from London Biggin Hill on the lowest-priced aircraft that can fly them with a single stop in Dubai, gate to gate, including about an hour on the ground at the stop:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Thailand

Typical one-way prices from Britain, cheapest first. A Challenger 605 can reach Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Pattaya and Hua Hin from Dubai without a second stop, so those pairings sit at the top of the table, and the Falcon 900LX, the Global 6000 and the Gulfstream G550 take over for Samui, for the Scottish departures and for larger parties. Every figure includes the technical stop in Dubai:

 

 

Private jet flights within Thailand and to its neighbours

Thailand is long and thin, and the distances show it. Bangkok to Chiang Mai is 319 nautical miles, Bangkok to Phuket 388, and Phuket to Samui only 140. The table gives the hops we are asked for most, with Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bali and the Maldives as the neighbours that clients add to a Thai holiday. The Thai legs in particular are flown by a locally licensed operator:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

 

 

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Thailand:

 

 

For a sector this long we look for an aircraft positioned in the Gulf or in South-East Asia as well as in Britain, so the dates should reach us while they can still move.

Business aviation airports in Thailand

Business jets use a short list of Thai airports. The first rows are the ones our flights use most, the later rows matter for particular destinations, and hours are in local time unless a source gave them in UTC:

 

Four constraints shape every arrival:

 

Arriving from Britain: visa, permits and the handler

For the passengers the entry rules are short. For the aircraft the permit is the long part.

Passengers clear immigration and customs at the airport, not at the aircraft. At Don Mueang that is inside the private terminal or the general aviation terminal, at Phuket in the private terminal or the main one according to the handler, and at the other airports in the main terminal. A pre-booked car with a driver, arranged through the handler, is the sensible way into town, because street taxis are not recommended.

Coming home is a flight into Britain: a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation for Britain.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Thailand

These are the usual pairings of address and airport, each checked against the permit:

 

Bangkok, the beaches and the north: what our clients go for

Bangkok is where the business is, and where a private arrival saves the most time. Embassies, head offices, the Chao Phraya hotels and the shopping towers around Siam sit within half an hour of Don Mueang when the roads are clear, and a meeting can follow the landing by two hours. This is also where the visa rule bites: a visa-exempt entry covers tourism, so a business party arrives on the right visa.

Phuket takes the leisure traffic: it has a 3,000 metre runway, a private jet terminal of its own and a long sailing season. Families take villas on the west coast, sailors arrive for the regatta in December, and boat trips run to Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi. Krabi, across the water on the mainland, is the quieter version.

Samui is the island that private travellers choose when they want a resort and no crowd on the apron. Four Seasons, Banyan Tree, Six Senses and Conrad are among the hotels, and the airport is small enough that a party is through the building in minutes. Phangan and Tao are a ferry ride away, and Phangan has no airport.

The north is a different country. Chiang Mai has temples inside a moat, mountains and an autumn lantern festival, and the cool months make it the best of the year for a few days off the beach.

On the east coast, Pattaya and U-Tapao serve a quick weekend, and Buriram in the north-east is where the Thailand round of MotoGP is held in March, a flight of about an hour from Bangkok.

 

Thai seasons: a cool season, a hot one and two monsoons

Thailand has three seasons, and the sea on each side of the south has its own rhythm:

 

The Thai calendar: Songkran, the lanterns and two regattas

The dates that matter fall in different parts of the country:

 

 

Flying to Thailand with a dog or a cat

Thailand admits dogs and cats from Britain, the paperwork is detailed, and the permit has to be in hand before the animal is booked. The sources we checked differ on some small points, so we obtain written confirmation for the animal before a flight is confirmed.

The airport matters. The official guidance names Suvarnabhumi and other international airports as entry points, and the animal has to pass the quarantine station before customs. Phuket's station is listed as open from 08:30 to 16:30, and we have not found a station at Don Mueang, so a party with a dog asks for the arrangement in writing before it chooses the airport. A flight that lands out of the station's hours is a flight to rearrange.

The way home is the harder half. Thailand does not appear among the countries from which Britain accepts a pet on simpler terms, so the rules for an unlisted country apply, and we check the list with the authorities before booking. For a dog or a cat coming from an unlisted country Britain requires a Great Britain pet health certificate and a rabies blood test:

• A microchip first, then a rabies vaccination, and then a blood sample taken at least 30 days after the vaccination and sent by the vet to an approved laboratory, with a result of 0.5 IU/ml or higher;
• A wait of three months from the date of the sample before the animal may travel to Britain;
• A Great Britain pet health certificate for the journey, valid for ten days;
• For a dog, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain;
• Quarantine for up to four months if the rules are not met.

Because the blood test stays valid while the vaccinations are current, the sensible plan is to have the sample taken at home months before the trip, so that the three months have passed before the return flight. An animal sampled in Thailand has to wait the three months there. The rules of Dubai, as a third country, are checked for an animal that stays aboard during the stop. For a private flight we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

Other destinations, and the general rules for travelling with an animal on a private jet, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a flight the operator has to make anyway, with the cabin vacant, and so it is priced low rather than flown for nothing. On a route this long the saving is large in cash, and the catch is as large.

Clients who offer a window of several days match most often, though a leg can vanish when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Thai empty legs follows, at roughly 40 percent of a fresh charter:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

A helicopter in Thailand does the first and the last stretch. Bangkok has helicopter corridors to Hua Hin, Pattaya, Rayong and Chon Buri, charter is booked through Thai operators, and one operator that serves the capital flies machines for ten passengers from a base near Suvarnabhumi. On Phuket a resort on the north-west coast has its own helipad and offers airport transfers. The times below are estimates from the straight-line distance at a cruise of 115 knots plus eight minutes:

A helicopter suits the first stretch out of an airport and not a trip across the country, where a locally licensed turboprop does the job better, and the rotary leg is booked together with the rest of the itinerary.
