Why Fly Private to the USA?
Over a 9–14 hour crossing, a private jet's advantages peak.
1. Nonstop, no connections
Cities without direct scheduled service, or with awkward timings, are reached nonstop by an ultra-long-range jet — no layovers, no baggage stress.
2. Sleep in a bed, wake up there
ULR flagships offer a full-size bedroom and low cabin altitude, so you travel while you sleep and arrive fit for a meeting or your itinerary.

Which Aircraft Should You Choose?
Seoul–USA is a trans-oceanic ultra-long haul, so a ULR flagship is required. The farthest routes, like New York, need the longest-range models to fly nonstop.
Hawaii and the West Coast (9–11 hr): A Gulfstream G650 or Bombardier Global 7500 flies these comfortably nonstop.
New York and longest routes (14 hr): A G650ER, Global 7500 or G700/G800 is recommended.
Large families or delegations: A large-cabin ULR gives you a bedroom, lounge and generous baggage space.
