Routes & Airports
Classic city pairs, Alpine airports and how to choose where you take off.
A private flight is often won or lost on the ground: which airport, which terminal, how long the drive. We look at classic routes such as London to Nice and New York to Palm Beach, at the airports that serve the Alps in winter and at what a good departure airport and FBO actually give you.
New York to Palm Beach by private jet
The classic winter run from Manhattan to South Florida. Which airports to use at both ends, how long it takes, when demand peaks and how US excise tax affects the bill.

From Geneva’s long runway to the steep strip at Courchevel. How the Alpine airports differ, what winter does to schedules and how to fly with skis.
