Gulfstream G700: The Sky’s Most Expensive Living Room

If your idea of flying private still includes plush leather chairs and some decent dining, the Gulfstream G700 would like a word. Actually, five words: living room in the sky. Because that’s what this aircraft is – a flying penthouse for the kind of traveler who thinks a 12-hour flight should feel like a wellness retreat with altitude.

Launched with much fanfare and even more tech, the G700 is Gulfstream’s biggest, fastest, and most indulgent jet to date. We’re talking five living zones. Yes, zones. A master bedroom with its own shower. A conference room that becomes a dining table for six. An ultra-galley big enough to make actual food. And windows? Twenty of them – the biggest in the biz – just to remind you that yes, you’re still flying.

But it’s not just about space. The cabin air is 100% fresh, recycling every couple of minutes. The altitude feels like a mild hike, and the lighting mimics real sunrise and sunset to gently shift your body clock mid-flight. Basically, jet lag gets left on the runway.

Under the hood – or wing, rather – are Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines that can take you 7,500 nautical miles without blinking. That’s Dubai to New York, nonstop. Or London to Buenos Aires, just in case you feel like tango after afternoon tea.

And up front, the cockpit is pure sci-fi. Gulfstream’s Symmetry Flight Deck is all touchscreen controls, active sidesticks, and a heads-up display that makes even the most seasoned pilot feel like they’re playing a very expensive video game – with real-world perks.

The G700 isn’t just for the aviation nerds or billionaires with an itch for range. It’s for anyone with $80 million and a schedule to keep, the ones who want to blur the line between home, office, and aircraft. Jeff Bezos reportedly has one, which makes sense – how else do you run a global empire and still get a decent night’s sleep?
