Private jet hire is often associated with businesses, Hollywood superstars or romantic getaways for the elite. But a private jet charter is actually a fantastic option for an unforgettable family vacation.
Hiring a private jet for your family means you have an exclusive experience with memories that will last a lifetime. If you have young kids – or sulky teenagers – skipping the check in and boarding queues will make your life easier.
Here are our top three family-friendly destinations for private jet charter:
Kauai, Hawaii
Although Hawaii is often associated with romantic getaways, it actually has plenty to offer the whole family. Take Kauai, for example. It is the fourth largest island in Hawaii and is sometimes called the "Garden Island”, as it’s draped in emerald valleys, sharp mountain spires and jagged cliffs aged by time and the elements. It’s also the oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, with some parts only accessible by sea or air.
Exciting helicopter trips, snorkeling with turtles, exotic cuisine and an inimitable ambiance help make this a destination your family will never forget.
Oh, and Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic Jurassic Park was shot here. Who doesn’t love Jurassic Park?
Pig Beach, The Bahamas
Whether your kids are toddlers or on the verge of adulthood, nobody can resist the allure of swimming with pigs!
This strange, snorty bunch has baffled experts around the world, as nobody’s completely sure how they ended up here. Attention was drawn to the pigs following the airing of a documentary about them, and the island has now become popular amongst celebrities and influencers.
It’s the perfect Instagram opportunity for kids and adults alike. And, once you’re done, you’ll be left to relax in the idyllic, tropical surroundings of the Bahamas.
Lake District, United Kingdom
If what you treasure most is peace, natural beauty, and a tranquil escape from your working life, you should look no further than the Lake District in the United Kingdom.
Fly to a regional airport such as Carlisle Lake District Airport for a quick and quiet entrance. You can spend your time walking or hiking along winding country trails, and visiting traditional British pubs for some ‘pub grub’ and a pint. The Lake District is full of outdoor activities for the whole family to enjoy.
And, if you want to mix it up, you can jet down to London to check out all the sights of the capital, including Big Ben, the London Eye, and Buckingham Palace.
So, how do you book a private jet for the perfect family holiday?
Once you have chosen your destination, you’ll want to consider the most suitable private jet to hire. If you’re heading abroad, the Falcon 2000EX could be a fantastic choice. It packs enough space for up to ten seated family members. Or five of you if you fancy catching up on some sleep before the real adventure begins.
If you can manage with a little less space, the Legacy 500 is smaller but perfect for kids who want to spend the journey immersed in iPad entertainment. Or, if you’re buddying up with another family – for a joint skiing trip, for example – the Bombardier Challenger 850 is a popular option.
Now you’re ready to head off for your dream family vacation.
