For those heading to Europe this summer—whether to step aboard a superyacht, enjoy a family retreat in the Tuscan hills, or attend one of the season’s major social events—private jet charter offers the most seamless way to travel. It’s not just about getting from A to B. It’s about ensuring your holiday starts the moment you leave home.
At Bookajet, we specialise in providing bespoke air travel solutions for clients who value flexibility, discretion and exceptional service. In this guide, we’ll explore what you need to know about European private jet charter: from hot destinations and airport tips to how we make every journey smooth, stylish, and effortless—even at the very last minute.
Why fly private across Europe?
You set the schedule
Chartering a private jet gives you complete control over your time. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a same-day return, Bookajet can arrange departures and arrivals around your lifestyle—not the other way around.
Skip the crowds
Forget long security lines and packed terminals. Private jet travel removes the friction from flying, with discreet airport lounges, fast-track boarding, and exclusive access to smaller regional airfields closer to your final destination.
Last-minute luxury
Many of our clients don’t need to plan ahead—they already have homes, villas or yachts waiting. With access to a global fleet and real-time availability, we’re able to arrange charters with very little notice. Just say when.
End-to-end comfort
Beyond the jet, Bookajet can coordinate luxury ground transfers or helicopter charters to ensure a truly door-to-deck or door-to-villa experience. From London to the Med, every element of your journey is managed with precision.

Things to consider when booking a European private jet charter
Aircraft choice
For shorter flights, light jets such as the Citation CJ2+ are ideal. For larger parties or greater range, Bookajet can source midsize or long-range aircraft like the Legacy 600. Your dedicated account manager will recommend the best fit based on your travel plans.
Airport access and timing
While peak airports like Nice, Ibiza and Olbia can be busy, we have access to priority slots and alternative routes. If you’re travelling last-minute, we’ll handle the logistics to secure optimal arrival times.
Luggage and extras
Private jets typically allow greater flexibility for luggage—ideal if you’re travelling with golf clubs or diving gear. We’ll advise on capacity depending on your aircraft selection.
Pets and preferences
Travelling with a four-legged companion? Want to enjoy your favourite bottle of wine mid-flight? Consider it arranged.
What to expect onboard
Private jet interiors are designed for comfort and calm. Relax in fully reclining leather seats, enjoy curated dining and catch up on work or unwind with bespoke entertainment. Whether you’re travelling with family, colleagues, or solo, we tailor every element of the journey to you.
At Bookajet, nothing is pre-packaged. We listen first, plan second, and deliver a flight experience that’s yours in every detail.
Helicopter charter: taking luxury even further
For destinations with difficult access—private islands, hilltop estates, or busy coastal roads—helicopter transfer is the perfect solution. Bookajet’s helicopter charter service offers quick and stylish onward travel from your arrival airport direct to your final destination.
Typical routes include:
- Nice to Monaco (7 minutes)
- Ibiza to Formentera (15 minutes)
- Florence to rural Tuscan estates (20–30 minutes)
It’s ideal for those who want to skip road congestion or land within minutes of their home or mooring.
