Why destinations change when you fly private
Airlines fly hub to hub. Private aircraft fly airport to airport, and there are far more airports than hubs. That means landing at Aspen instead of Denver, at Teterboro instead of Newark, at Le Bourget instead of Charles de Gaulle, or on a short island strip that no airliner can use. You arrive closer to where you are actually going, on your own schedule.
The United States
From Teterboro and Van Nuys to Aspen, Jackson Hole, Nantucket, Palm Beach and Scottsdale, the US has the largest private aviation network in the world. Most trips within the lower 48 are possible nonstop in a super midsize jet.
Canada
Vancouver, Whistler, Toronto and Montreal are a short hop from most of the US. Many flights clear customs on arrival at the private terminal in minutes.
The Caribbean and Bahamas
Nassau, St. Barts, Turks and Caicos, Anguilla and the Virgin Islands. Many island airports have short runways, so the right aircraft matters. Some, like St. Barts, require specially trained pilots and smaller aircraft.
Mexico and Central America
Los Cabos, Punta Mita, Tulum and Costa Rica are among the most popular winter escapes from the US. Light and midsize jets reach most of them nonstop from Texas and the southern states.
South America
Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Punta del Este and Patagonia. Long-range jets cover the distance from Miami with one or no stops.
Europe
London, Paris, Geneva, Nice, Mykonos and Ibiza. Transatlantic nonstop requires a super midsize jet at minimum from the US East Coast, or a heavy jet for comfort and range with a full cabin.
The Middle East
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Riyadh are major business and leisure destinations, served nonstop from the US by ultra long range jets.
Africa
Safari lodges in Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana, Cape Town's winelands and Marrakech. Long-range jets bring you to a gateway city; turboprops and bush aircraft complete the trip to remote airstrips.
Asia and Southeast Asia
Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali and the Maldives. Ultra long range jets fly the US West Coast to Tokyo nonstop.
Oceania and the South Pacific
Sydney, Auckland, Fiji, Bora Bora and Tahiti. These are long journeys that ultra long range aircraft make in one or two legs, with crew rest built in.
