For any savvy traveler, looking ahead and adding exciting trips to the calendar is part of a weekly routine.

With leisure travel regaining historic levels of demand and a renovated hospitality industry welcoming all types of tourists around the globe, it is the perfect time of the year to plan how the travel agenda will take shape during the upcoming months.

Private aviation like no other means of transportation allows travelers to plan their itineraries by the hour, managing their tight schedules and allowing them to maximize every minute of the travel experience.

We’ve created a list of the top five events in the globe to visit by private jet and recommend where to land your chartered aircraft – this key aspect might allow your travel group to avoid larger international airports and paying extra for ground transportation.

Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz, Jan 27 – 29

Every last week in January, St. Mortiz in Switzerland, one of the most renowned skiing centers in Europe, turns into the polo capital of the world. Teams from around the globe compete on a frozen lake with breathtaking views, while travelers can enjoy high-end social events and the top-notch hospitality that St. Moritz has to offer. The best airport to land a private aircraft is Samedan Airport, conveniently located only 7.3 kilometers from the center.

Cannes Film Festival, May 16 – 27

This yearly film festival held in beautiful Cannes, France, showcases new films of all categories, including documentaries from every corner in the world. It is the most popular of its kind in Europe, although the Venice Film Festival in Italy and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany are also well-established. Cannes – Mandelieu Airport is conveniently located just 10 minutes from the city center, the yearly go-to terminal for the festival.

Art Basel Miami, Jun 15 – 18

Art Basel is a yearly international fair held in Basel, Switzerland, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong. The Florida edition is North America's most comprehensive international contemporary art fair with over 250 galleries from 35 countries showcasing creations by more than 4,000 artists. It is held annually at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport is the best option to land a private jet when attending the event.

Monaco Yacht Show, Sep 27 – 30

The most important exhibition of superyachts in the world is ready to set sail once again at the iconic Port Hercules. At the pinnacle of luxury, it is hard to imagine a more high-end event in the calendar worldwide, which has been running since 1991 with the recognition of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. As Monaco does not have an airport, the closest terminal for private jets is the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, which receives thousands of private jet movements year-round.

Rugby World Cup, Sep 8 – Oct 28

The wait is over for rugby fans all over the world. And travelers couldn’t have asked for a better venue: France. From Saint-Étienne to Nantes and Toulouse, some of France's finest venues will function as stadiums – with the Stade de France in Paris hosting the opening match between the home team and New Zealand. Where to land a private jet? At Paris Le Bourget, the busiest private jet airport in Europe and dedicated exclusively to private aviation.

In conclusion

Private aviation avoids packed commercial airports by landing as close as possible to the destination. That flexibility and overall comfort is the main reason why chartering a private jet to enjoy the top events in the world is the most convenient decision, especially when flying to remote locations without regular commercial air connections.


Last but not least, passengers can control to a large extent their travel experience, from arrival to landing, also deciding whether to fly with family, friends, or pets, what to eat midair and the type of aircraft required for your group to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience..
