Which should you charter?

Pick the Global 6000 if headroom matters (the cabin is 3 cm taller), you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 0.7 m longer) and you want a wider cabin (25 cm more across).

Pick the Gulfstream G550 if you need the extra 1,600 km (864 nm) of range, you are a group of 14 and you travel with a lot of luggage (226 cu ft of baggage space vs 195).

The Gulfstream G550 is estimated at $12,500/hr against $13,000/hr for the Global 6000, about $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 Gulfstream G550 can fly New York (TEB) to Doha (DOH) nonstop, 10,773 km. The Global 6000 would need a fuel stop on that route.
