Private jet charter in Bangkok

Bangkok lies on the far side of a twelve-hour flight from any London hangar, and the airport you land at there matters more than the cabin you sit in. Private Jets UK plans the whole chain, from the first quote to the car waiting by the aircraft door. 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. The city has two big airports, and only one of them is built for the private jet. Don Mueang takes the business traffic, Suvarnabhumi is kept for airliners, and the questions that need an early answer are the permit, the slot and the visa.

 

 

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 Bangkok 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 Biggin Hill, a Bombardier Global 6000 with one stop on the way 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 Bangkok?

About 12 h 50 min from Biggin Hill in a Global 6000 with one stop on the way, and a little over thirteen hours from Glasgow. An ultra-long-range jet that can fly the distance in one leg needs about 11 h 05 min. The straight line from London is roughly 5,346 nautical miles, which is 89 per cent of what a Global 6000 can fly (about 6,000 nm), leaving a margin of only 650 nm for winds, reserves and a full cabin. Most operators therefore split the sector. Dubai is a convenient break: about 3,067 nm from Biggin Hill and then 2,740 nm on to Bangkok, which adds 461 nm to the direct line. The stop is not fixed. Another Gulf airport or an airport in India can serve equally well, and the countries overflown are chosen by the operator's flight planners, with a permit for each. The times in the table include about an hour on the ground at the stop.

 

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Bangkok

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first within each group, all of them into Don Mueang. The cool season from November to February and the Christmas and New Year weeks sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

 

The figures are one-way and cover the aircraft, crew, fuel, the stop and the positioning flight home, which on a route this long is a large part of the bill. Landing, parking and handling charges, the permits, catering and the fees at the stop are quoted on top once the dates are fixed. A Global 6000 with a stop starts at £156,150 from Biggin Hill, £156,700 from Luton, £159,000 from Manchester and £161,750 from Glasgow. There is no light-jet or midsize price on this page. A Citation XLS+ with a range of roughly 2,100 nm would need two or three stops, each with its own permit, and a quote that offers one should say where it lands.

 

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:

 

 

Private jet flights from Bangkok

Bangkok is the natural hub of mainland South-East Asia. The coast at Pattaya and the royal resort of Hua Hin are short hops, Phuket and Koh Samui are an hour away, and Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong fall to a midsize or super-midsize jet. Typical one-way prices from Bangkok:

 

 

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.

 

Online Calculator

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

 

 

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 Bangkok:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. A long-range jet is rarely waiting in Bangkok, so a charter normally starts with an aircraft positioned from Europe, the Gulf or elsewhere in Asia, and the price is built from the London leg and not from a local base. A jet returning empty from a drop-off in Singapore, Hong Kong or the Maldives is the opening for a better price, and we look for it on every enquiry.

• 

  Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

• 

  Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Bangkok

Two airports share the capital, and for a private jet the choice between them is made by the rules, not by the map. Two more, on the coast, are used when the destination is Pattaya or Hua Hin. A quote that names anything other than Don Mueang should say why.

 

Four points settle most Bangkok arrivals:

 

 

Border, passport and permits

Thailand works to a permit calendar. Every non-scheduled flight needs prior approval from the aviation authority, applied for by the operator with the full schedule, the crew and passenger details, a specific purpose of flight and a local business contact, and a vague purpose is not accepted. The official data gives three working days, a handling company says seven business days and recommends two weeks of planning, and a permit is valid for about 24 hours either side of the time stated, so a change of schedule outside that window means a revised permit and new slots. British citizens may enter visa-free for tourism, with the length of stay set by the Thai rules for the date of travel. The gov.uk advice says the exemption does not cover business travel, conferences or meetings, so a trip with a meeting in it needs the right visa. The passport needs six months of validity and a blank page. Officers may ask for evidence of onward travel, accommodation or funds. Everyone completes the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online, within three days before arrival, and anyone arriving from a yellow fever risk country carries the vaccination certificate. Immigration is cleared in the private jet terminal or the general aviation terminal at Don Mueang, and in the main terminal at Suvarnabhumi, and it cannot be done at the aircraft. Customs allowances are tight: 200 cigarettes per person, one litre of wine or spirits, and any foreign currency above 20,000 US dollars declared. On the British side the flight is filed on a General Aviation Report, between 48 and 2 hours before departure. Britain, Thailand and the stop on the way are all outside the Schengen area.

 

 

From the apron to the old capital

Bangkok is a city you cross slowly. The airports are on opposite sides, the business districts in the middle, and the places clients actually want to reach in the afternoon lie one or two hours out. Approximate figures from handlers and transfer guides, longer in the evening and on Fridays.

 

Flying to Bangkok with a dog or a cat

A dog or a cat can usually be brought to Thailand on an import permit, and the paperwork has to be ready before the booking, because the Thai permit comes first and the return to Britain is the harder half. The animal normally travels with you in the cabin.

 

 

What the two halves look like:

• Into Thailand: an import permit from the Department of Livestock Development, applied for by email no later than seven days before departure according to the Thai guidance and valid for 60 days. It comes with a microchip certificate, rabies vaccination at least 21 days before departure (dogs also distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and leptospirosis; cats also feline panleukopenia) and an official health certificate endorsed by the government of the departure country. The animal must be at least four months old. Thai consular guidance adds a negative leptospirosis test within 30 days for dogs and lists pit bull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers as prohibited breeds, so we confirm the full list in writing before the flight;
• On arrival the animal goes to the Animal Quarantine Station for a veterinary inspection, a permit is issued if it meets the rules, and the pet is presented to customs with a small duty or fee. A healthy animal is normally not quarantined, though the officer may detain any animal. The official pages we found name the station at Suvarnabhumi, so for Don Mueang we ask the handler in advance where and when the inspection takes place;
• Leaving Thailand: an export permit and a health check at the quarantine station, no more than three days before departure;
• Into Great Britain: Thailand does not appear in the gov.uk table of listed countries, so the stricter rules for countries that are not listed apply. The animal needs a Great Britain pet health certificate issued within 10 days of arrival and a rabies blood test, taken at least 30 days after the vaccination, at an EU-approved laboratory with a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, and it must wait 3 months from the date of the sample before it travels;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. Cats do not need it, and each animal travels with the pet travel document and a declaration;
• No more than five animals per traveller, and quarantine of up to four months if the rules are not met. The stop on the way is a third country, so its rules for an animal in transit are checked as well.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

The Bangkok calendar: a cool season, a hot one and a rainy one

Bangkok has three seasons, not four. The cool season runs from November to February, the hot season from March to May and the rains from June to October. Festivals follow the lunar calendar, and the art and fashion weeks open the cool season. Demand is tightest in the cool months, and the choice of week matters more than the choice of aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Bangkok price down

• Move the dates out of the two weeks around Christmas and New Year. October, early November and March sit on either side of the peak and are usually calmer;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A Global 6000 already in the Gulf or in Asia needs less positioning than one in London, and on a route this long positioning is a large part of the bill;
• Look at the size of the party before the aircraft. Up to a dozen guests a Global 6000 does the job; a G550 or a G650ER costs more per hour and earns it only for a bigger group or a one-leg plan;
• Put the stay in the quote. A week with the aircraft waiting at Don Mueang is priced differently from one that flies out and returns, and the better answer depends on the number of days and on what the handler allows.

 

Types of flights

Bangkok produces a mix unlike the European cities we cover. It is a business capital and the door to half of South-East Asia, and the interesting part is often what happens after the first night.

• Business visits to the capital, with the visa position settled before the permit is filed;
• Weekends on the coast at Pattaya or in Hua Hin, flown into U-Tapao or reached by helicopter from the capital;
• Art, fashion and design weeks in the cool season, with clients who stay a few days and travel light;
• Day trips to the ruins at Ayutthaya, which a helicopter turns into a half day;
• Motor racing at Buriram and other regional events, with a Thai operator for the last leg;
• Asian loops through Phuket, Koh Samui, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bali or the Maldives, with Bangkok as one stop of several.

One-way or return is the question that takes the longest to answer. A return with the aircraft waiting for a fortnight is a large invoice, and a one-way flight out with a scheduled flight home is cheaper than it looks, because the crew would otherwise be paid to wait. We quote both ways so that the difference is visible before you decide.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On a route as long as London to Bangkok they are rare, and they come from the pattern of the traffic rather than from volume.

Because a long leg is unusual, a client who can name a window of several days has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Bangkok match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Bangkok a helicopter is a way to avoid the road, and the roads are what the city is known for. An app-based service offers seats and whole helicopters on corridors from the capital to Hua Hin and Pattaya, and to Rayong and Chon Buri for business travellers heading for the eastern industrial belt, flying machines that belong to Thai operators and carry up to ten passengers. One of those operators has a base near Suvarnabhumi. For a private client we arrange the operator and the landing site separately and tie both to the jet's timetable.

We book a helicopter alongside the jet when a site and a permit are in place, and the type is confirmed with the quote. For most clients the car is the answer for the city and the helicopter the answer for the old capital and the coast.
