What is a heavy jet?
A heavy jet is the largest business jet you can charter: 10 to 19 seats in a cabin you can stand and walk in, with the range to cross an ocean. The class covers large jets with about 4,000 nm of range, such as the Falcon 900 and Challenger 650, and ultra-long-range jets that fly 5,500 to 7,700 nm, such as the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500.
Against a super-midsize jet, a heavy jet adds a third cabin zone, seats and divans that make up into beds, a full galley and, on most long-range aircraft, a crew rest area. It costs more an hour, so it pays off on long flights, overnight trips and full cabins.

What it is like inside a heavy jet
How big is the cabin?
6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall and 7 ft 11 in (2.41 m) wide: a 1.80 m adult stands upright in the aisle. The cabin runs 25 ft 7 in (7.80 m), 1,146 cu ft in all.
Drawn to scale from the height and width; the figure is 1.80 m tall.

One way, flight time only: the quote adds positioning, airport charges and the airport departure fee. Headwinds or a full cabin can add a fuel stop on the longest routes.
Is a heavy jet right for your trip?
Under about 5 hours with 8 or fewer people: a super-midsize jet is usually enough and costs less.
Overnight flights: pick a model with three zones, so some can sleep while others work.
Long sectors: brochure range assumes about 8 passengers and still air. Winter headwinds and a full cabin can force a fuel stop, so leave a 10 to 15% margin.
Runway: most heavy jets need about 5,000 to 6,500 ft at full weight. Short, hot or high airports can mean less fuel or a stop.
Cabins differ by owner, so the seat map, beds and Wi-Fi are confirmed for the exact aircraft on your quote.
