Private travel can provide you with a much different experience than any other method of getting to and from your destination. Not only does it mean you will have a more enjoyable time onboard your jet, but the entire circumstances that surround your air travel will be enhanced thanks to your decision.
Although any private jet in a charter fleet can usually provide this opportunity, it is the Gulfstream GIV-SP that most prefer to take their trip to the next level. What sets it apart from other jets? What does this private aircraft have to offer? Let’s take a look.
Gulfstream GIV-SP: The Specs
The Gulfstream GIV-SP is a great option for those who are traveling for business or those heading out with family or friends. Their interior is rather large, giving plenty of space to hold quite a few passengers — 16 to be exact. And it can comfortably sleep six.
This private jet can also go the distance. With a range of 4,165 nautical miles, it can easily reach from coast to coast and is perfect for transcontinental travel. It is perfect for carrying passengers a short distance, too, when necessary. So, whether you are traveling between Los Angeles and New York City or Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Nevada, the Gulfstream GIV-SP is a great choice.
There is no denying that the Gulfstream GIV-SP has been around for quite a while. Even though its model year is 1995, don’t let that deter you from the incredible experience it offers. Many have been recently remodeled within the last year or two, giving the space a modern look and equipping it with the most advanced technology around.
Finally, with room for 16 passengers, this jet needs to have the space to hold all the luggage that they bring with them. There is 169 cubic feet of baggage space on this aircraft so there should be plenty of room for whatever you are bringing with you.
The Luxurious Interior of the Gulfstream GIV-SP
Now that you know all the details about the numbers, let’s talk interiors. From the moment you step on board the Gulfstream GIV-SP, you will be engulfed with comfort and luxury. The plush carpeting and light wood paneling combined with the lighting and open windows make the space look big and bright.
Comfortable seating. The luxurious interior of this private jet allows for comfortable seating in 8 captain chairs and two couches that line the outer wall of the jet. Overstuffed for ergonomic comfort and placed spaciously, you are sure to find them relaxing. They even swivel for easy conversations and allow plenty of legroom. Moreover, retractable tables can be pulled out when needed and stowed away when they are not for your convenience.
Want to get some shut-eye? Six beds can be configured, three along each side. You will be able to get some quality sleep and feel well-rested by the time you land.
Inflight connectivity. When traveling on this Gulfstream GIV-SP, you don’t have to worry about being out of touch. You will have access to complimentary domestic wifi that will keep your devices up and running — as well as eight power outlets. It is a breeze to check your emails, stream your favorite shows, a movie, or music, and, of course, scroll through social media.
You will also find an Aircell Iridium flight phone and/or a SatCom flight phone. This will help you to remain connected at all times during your travels.
Entertainment. Each private jet will typically come with some form of entertainment system to help pass the time on the flight. On this particular jet, you will have access to a DVD/CD entertainment system with eight individual LCD monitors strategically placed throughout the jet’s interior.
The galley. Hungry? Thirsty? On the Gulfstream GIV-SP, this is not a problem at all. You will find an aft full-service galley with a sink, microwave oven, convection oven, and Nespresso coffee maker. That means you will be able to have your food catered — and you will be able to have it made directly on the aircraft mid-flight.
Of course, as with most chartered private jets, you can request any special refreshments, snacks, or meals that you want to have for your trip.
The lavatory. The size of this jet allows for plenty of space for two lavatories! You will find one in the rear of the plane (the aft) with a full vanity and another in the front (forward) part of the jet that is most often utilized by the crew.
Is a Gulfstream GIV-SP Right For Your Travel Needs?
The Gulfstream GIV-SP may sound like the ideal private jet for most trips, but is it right for your travel needs? There are a few factors that you will want to consider —
- Passengers. The number of passengers you are bringing with you matters. Remember, this jet has room for 16 passengers with a day configuration and six with a night configuration.
- Travel distance. The distance you need to travel to reach your destination will also play a role. Unless you want to stop to refuel, you want to make sure it fits within a range of 4,165 NM.
- Amenities. Normally you would choose your private jet and take into consideration what you intend to do onboard. Are you hoping to have a meal or snack? Do you need connectivity to get work done? Do you want a table to play a game? The good news is that this aircraft has it all.
