Which aircraft for Alicante–Chicago?
This is long-haul: only heavy and ultra-long-range cabins (Global 6000, Gulfstream G650) fly it nonstop. They bring lie-flat berths, full galley service and two crews where duty time requires — factors that matter more than raw speed at 7,095 km.
Best time to book
Alicante is a summer market. July and August weekends are the crunch — reserve early and expect premium pricing — while May, June and September offer the same weather with better aircraft choice and regular empty-leg opportunities.
