Connectivity varies by tail — most operators in this fleet have at least one Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft, but confirm before booking if you need to work in the air.
Operator floor plans vary. Some Gulfstream V cabins are configured with a divan that drops the headcount by one or two seats; confirm the layout with the operator before booking.
