About this flight

Set out from Luton, Bedfordshire, for Bakırköy in Istanbul on 4 October with a private jet empty leg linking the London area to one of the world’s most captivating cities. Istanbul’s neighbourhoods, waterfront views and extraordinary food scene make it a compelling destination for both a short break and a longer stay. In autumn, gentler temperatures invite afternoons exploring historic streets and evenings beside the Bosphorus. This route lets you move from the pace of London towards a city where Europe and Asia meet, with the journey feeling like the beginning of the experience.

The G550 is an ultra long range jet with a spacious cabin that feels particularly comfortable on a flight of this length. Seating for up to 16 passengers makes it a strong choice for a larger family gathering, a group of friends or a team travelling together. The generous interior provides room to settle in, share a meal, prepare for meetings or enjoy time away from interruptions. A private jet charter on the G550 offers an atmosphere shaped by your group, whether the purpose of the trip is discovery, celebration or business.

As an empty leg, this departure makes use of an aircraft already due to travel towards Istanbul. If 4 October suits your plans, it is a distinctive opportunity to enjoy private aviation between two culturally rich cities and arrive ready to make the most of the season.
