Which aircraft for New York–Birmingham?
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 5,427 km.
Best time to book
