About the Gulfstream G500
This is the newer G500, not the GV-based G500 of the 2000s. It has Gulfstream’s latest cockpit, large windows and a very quiet cabin.
It flies New York to Europe nonstop and suits groups that want new-generation comfort.
Is the G500 Right for Your Trip?
Best For
- Trips of up to about 9 hours nonstop, such as Los Angeles to Aspen or New York to Miami
- Up to 13 passengers
- Groups of 10 to 16, or families traveling with a lot of luggage
Keep in Mind
- They need longer runways, so a few small airports are out of reach.
- On short trips a super-midsize is usually just as comfortable and costs much less.
