Which should you charter?
Pick the Falcon 8X if you need the extra 3,645 km (1,968 nm) of range, you are a group of 14 to 16 and you want a wider cabin (10 cm more across).
Pick the Gulfstream G450 if you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 0.4 m longer) and you travel with a lot of luggage (169 cu ft of baggage space vs 140).
The Gulfstream G450 is estimated at $9,500/hr against $14,000/hr for the Falcon 8X, about $4,500 less per hour. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Falcon 8X can fly New York (TEB) to Moscow (SVO) nonstop, 7,475 km. The Gulfstream G450 would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
