Unrivalled Comfort to New York City at a Remarkable Value.


A premium private jet is repositioning from Hong Kong to New York—an empty-leg segment that offers the full private aviation experience at a fraction of the usual cost. You’ll enjoy the full private aviation experience—luxury cabin, personalized service, and no commercial headaches—at around 60–70% off standard charter rates.


Route Overview: Hong Kong to New York


Distance: 8,071 miles (12,990 km)

Estimated Flight Time: ~15 hours 45 minutes

Airports: HKG (Hong Kong International) → JFK or TEB (New York)

This route connects two of the world’s most influential cities—non-stop, no layovers, no compromises. While others endure multiple connections and hours in transit lounges, you’ll arrive refreshed and ahead of schedule, ready to make the most of Manhattan.


Departure: Hong Kong – Asia’s Global Hub

There’s a reason we call it “Asia’s World City.” Hong Kong blends business, luxury, and culture in a way few destinations can match:

  • Strategic Positioning: Within five hours of half the global population—ideal for executives and investors alike
  • Financial Might: The world's largest offshore Renminbi hub and a launchpad into mainland China
  • Reliable Infrastructure: World-class airport, seamless connectivity, and transparent regulations
  • Vibrant Culture: From Michelin-starred dining to night markets and dim sum brunches


Before wheels up, consider a visit to:

  • Victoria Peak for skyline views that never get old
  • Temple Street Night Market for local color and rare finds
  • The harbor at sunset – a signature Hong Kong moment
  • Lunch at a rooftop restaurant or hole-in-the-wall dim sum spot—both are equally rewarding


Arrival: New York – The City That Moves the World

Welcome to New York—where ambition lives, deals are made, and culture never sleeps.

  • Business Center of Gravity: Wall Street, Midtown finance, Silicon Alley, and global HQs galore
  • Economic Power: A GDP larger than most countries
  • High-Impact Networking: Where introductions can change everything
  • Creative Capital: From Broadway to Brooklyn, it’s a masterclass in cultural influence


While you're there:

  • Take in the skyline from Top of the Rock—less crowded, better views than the Empire State
  • Catch a Broadway show—our concierge can secure even the impossible seats
  • Stroll through Central Park with a coffee—yes, it lives up to the hype
  • Explore the boroughs—DUMBO in Brooklyn offers iconic bridge views and top-tier dining
  • Don’t miss the food scene—from $2 slices to reservation-only gems


Empty-Leg Flights: Luxury Meets Smart Strategy

In private aviation, empty-leg flights are one of the best-kept open secrets. When an aircraft must reposition for its next flight, it often flies empty—unless a savvy traveler like you books it.


Why Consider an Empty Leg?

  • Exceptional Value: Enjoy savings of up to 75% off standard charter prices
  • First-Class Comfort: It’s the same aircraft, same service—just a smarter booking
  • Eco-Responsibility: Make use of a flight that’s already scheduled to fly
  • Access to Top-Tier Jets: Experience ultra-long-range aircraft that might typically exceed your budget


Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Fixed Timing: The aircraft’s schedule is set—you’ll need to align your plans
  • One-Way Travel: This offer is for Hong Kong to New York only
  • Limited Availability: Once it’s booked, it’s gone
  • Schedule Shifts: Changes can occur—rare, but possible
