Farnborough → Bordeaux

The route from Farnborough to Bordeaux reaches Bordeaux and its wine country: the eighteenth-century waterfront and the Place de la Bourse, the wine bar culture, and the great estates of the Medoc, Saint-Emilion and Pomerol beyond. At roughly 700 km, the leg suits a light jet. Fly With Andreea looks after the whole journey, on your timing.

Chartering a private jet from Farnborough to Bordeaux (BOD) typically costs between approximately EUR 6,500 and EUR 16,000 one-way, with a light jet starting from around EUR 7,020.

Your quote is one figure, and it covers the aircraft and its crew for the whole rotation, fuel and any repositioning needed to bring the aircraft to you, landing, handling and airport fees at both ends, FBO use, fast-track formalities and crew briefing, and standard catering and cabin service.
Charged separately, only if it arises: de-icing in winter, which is charged at cost when it is used, ground transport unless you ask us to arrange it, overnight crew accommodation on longer itineraries, special requests such as a named restaurant or a specific vintage, and any change you make after the quote is signed.

Yes, your cats and dogs travel in the cabin beside you. For the EU, pets need a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an EU-format animal health certificate.

Yes. At approximately 700 km the sector is inside the range of a light jet and everything above it, so no technical stop is required. A smaller cabin can fly it with a fuel stop, but on a sector of this length most clients prefer to go direct for the time saved.

A light jet seats four to seven passengers in comfort on this route, and a larger cabin takes more. We size the aircraft to the party and the luggage rather than to the headline price, so tell us the numbers and we will show you what each cabin costs on the same day.

A passport valid for the length of your stay, and a visa where your nationality requires one. Immigration and customs are handled at the private terminal rather than in the main hall, which is usually a matter of minutes rather than an hour. Operations file the sector as FAB to BOD. We confirm the requirements against your specific passports before departure.

Twenty-four to seventy-two hours is usually enough to secure the right aircraft on this route. Peak weeks are tighter, and a major event at either end moves availability quickly. Booking earlier widens the choice of cabin and often improves the price, because the aircraft is less likely to need positioning.

Not necessarily per sector, but a one-way can carry a positioning cost if the aircraft has to fly empty to reach you, or empty to get home afterwards. A return where the aircraft waits, or where the crew rests at the destination, often prices better per leg than two separate one-ways. We quote both so you can see the difference before deciding.

Yes. Catering is arranged to your preference, including halal, vegetarian and specific dietary requirements, and can be sourced from a named restaurant if you would like. Flowers, a particular champagne, a specific ground vehicle or an onward helicopter are handled by the same team that arranges the aircraft. The hold takes four to eight suitcases plus cabin bags.
