Top Destinations to Fly Private – Exclusive Remote Locations to Visit
Private charter flights allow passengers to travel fuss-free to remote islands, exclusive resorts, and the world’s best-kept secret destinations. Sometimes, private planes may have access to military bases, away from the crowded commercial airports and near the passenger’s final destination.
Popular Private Jet Destinations
Private flights are not only reserved for business meetings but also to travel to some of the most exclusive destinations in the world.
Here is a list of the top destinations to fly private.
Telluride, Colorado
A private jet lifestyle is incomplete without exclusive ski resorts. Located in a box canyon in Colorado, Telluride was a Victorian mining town but is now home to a popular ski resort that welcomes wealthy travelers from all over the world.
Commercial flights land at Montrose Regional, the nearest major airport to Telluride, about 90 minutes from the town. Private jet travelers have access to Telluride Regional Airport, about six miles from the resort. No wonder Telluride developed a reputation as “Colorado’s best-kept secret.”
Anguilla, Caribbean
Anguilla is a stunning island in British overseas territory in the Caribbean, featuring long stretches of sandy beaches, secluded coves, and crystal clear waters. It’s a great place to escape city life and relax in tranquility.
The island’s only airport, Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport, is small to accommodate mainland commercial flights. Commercial travelers would have to go through a ferry or commuter connection after flying into St. Maarten.
Another alternative route is through Puerto Rico, chartering a small private aircraft from San Juan to Anguilla and touching down just minutes from your luxury resort.
Saint Moritz, Switzerland
How about enjoying a lifestyle around champagne, caviar, and Michelin-star dining in the Alps at a super-exclusive resort this winter?
Considered to be a luxury alpine resort town, Saint Moritz is located in Switzerland’s Engadin Valley, surrounded by Alps peaks towering 3,000 meters or more. Celebrities, billionaires, and even the Swedish royal family all flock to this hidden gem in the Swiss Alps every winter, making it one of the most popular private jet destinations. St. Moritz, for commercial travelers, is 2.5 hours away from Zurich airport. But private jet passengers can get off at Engadin airport, 5 km from St. Moritz.
Lanai, Hawaii
Lanai is the smallest uninhabited island in Hawaii, making it a popular destination among celebrities and the wealthy.
No commercial flight would take you directly to Lanai from the United States, and you would have to fly into Maui Island and take a 45-minute ferry. Flying private is your only option if you want to avoid the hassle. Stay at the luxurious Four Seasons Resort and experience the pristine beaches on the most secluded Hawaiian Islands.
Spectacle Island, Maine
Nestled in an alcove of smaller islands in Bar Harbour, Spectacle Island is a five-acre privately owned island in the United States. The place has long been visited by the rich and famous and serves as a summer retreat for Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Morgans. Flying private is the best way to avoid the long ferry rides and car drives to Spectacle Island.
Experience the peaceful rocky coast of the Northeast Atlantic, golf at the Kebo Valley golf club, traverse the 125 miles of exciting hiking trails, bicycle on the island’s carriage roads, or set off on a boating adventure in the cold waters, all while having your privacy respected!
Paro, Kingdom of Bhutan
Visit the stunning monasteries, view the dramatic landscapes, and experience the hospitable local culture at Paro in the Kingdom of Bhutan. A stop is often required in India to get a permit to visit Bhutan, which can take up to 10 days. However, a private flight can sort your travel documents before it descends directly into Bhutan’s Paro international airport.
Why Take a Private Flight to the Top Private Jet Destinations in the World?
Unexpected flight delays and cancellations have been plaguing commercial flights in recent years resulting in a boom in private aviation.
According to Argus International 2021 report, July was the busiest for private jet flights, with more than 300,000 flights, and the number of flights is expected to climb.
Here are some reasons why many passengers are now considering private jet travel over commercial flights:
- More control over departures and arrivals
