The aircraft is exclusively for your group; the schedule runs on your time. Private jets can land at airstrips that commercial airlines don’t service, putting even the most remote destinations within reach.
Let us introduce you to private jet charter tours.
What is a private jet charter tour?
A private jet charter tour is a multi-destination journey on a single aircraft reserved exclusively for your group. The schedule runs around your itinerary – not an airline’s. Transfers, luggage, customs and catering are all handled, so the journey between destinations feels like part of the trip rather than a disruption to it.
Onboard, a personalised crew and bespoke catering await. The landing and disembarkation process is designed to be as seamless and luxurious as the flight itself; charter flights streamline customs and immigration, with dedicated services for minimal hassle.
Five reasons to book a private jet charter tour
1. Visit more places in less time
Time is the real currency of luxury travel, and private aviation gives you more of it. A typical commercial multi-country itinerary loses hours to connections, security lines and terminal transfers, but a private charter flight is built specifically for your schedule, not the airline’s. That is how a single trip can take you across nine European countries in 25 days, or five Arctic nations in just 16. The time you save is spent where it matters: at the destination, not in transit.
2. Skip airports, queues and layovers
The expectations of commercial travel are early check-ins, security queues, gate changes, baggage carousels, immigration and often delays. On a private charter tour, almost all of that disappears. You are typically welcomed through private terminals, your luggage is handled for you, and boarding can be as simple as stepping onto the tarmac. The stress that usually bookends a trip is replaced by something rare: the feeling that the journey itself is part of the holiday.
3. Reach destinations no commercial schedule connects
Charter aircraft can land at smaller, regional airports, so your itinerary can include destinations commercial flights rarely serve. For example, Luxury Escapes’ exclusive 16-day Arctic charter sweeps you from Stockholm, where you stay at the Grand Hôtel overlooking the Royal Palace, to Rovaniemi, the self-declared home of Santa Claus. From there, fly to the Lofoten Islands, bypassing complex commercial connections, to a string of remote Arctic peaks in Northern Norway.
The journey continues to Reykjavík, the launch point for Iceland’s otherworldly geothermal landscapes, lava fields and the Golden Circle, before landing in Edinburgh for a castle skyline and the wild beauty of the Highlands. Fly between destinations aboard your private aircraft in Premium Economy comfort, with private check-ins and onboard catering all included.
4. Experience the perks of a private jet charter tour cabin
Configured for comfort rather than capacity, private charter planes feel closer to a private lounge than a commercial cabin. With fewer passengers and a dedicated crew who know your name, the flight holds the same standard of hospitality you’ll find at the five-star hotels waiting for you at the next stop. Onboard menus are designed specifically for the tour, drinks flow freely, and there is room to stretch between destinations. Fly with an experienced captain and crew in the company of your fellow Luxury Escapes guests.
5. Every detail handled, from departure to return
From the minute you arrive at the departure airport to the moment you return home, transfers and reservations are handled for you. Optional experiences let you tailor each day to your taste – lunch in the Rioja wine region perhaps – but the underlying logistics never become your problem. These tours take care of every detail, so you can truly switch off.
What a Luxury Escapes private jet charter tour includes
A private jet tour pairs bucket-list destinations with exceptional five-star hospitality. Upcoming charter journeys include discovering the Arctic’s most scenic landscapes, with return international flights from Australia (commercial) and a privately chartered jet between destinations. Begin in Stockholm with a stay at the Grand Hôtel Stockholm – recently named the Best Hotel in Scandinavia at the 2025 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards – and a banquet-style dinner at Stadshuskällaren. Stockholm City Hall’s celebrated restaurant offers guests a chance to dine on historical Nobel menus served on the official Nobel porcelain, in the same building where the annual Nobel Banquet is held.
Sleep under a glass roof in Finnish Lapland as the Midnight Sun glows above you. Touch down in Lofoten – on a route no commercial schedule connects like this – for a polar plunge (if you dare) and a floating sauna on the fjord. Discover Iceland’s geothermal landscape and dine on a meal cooked by the earth. Then, settle in for three nights at The Caledonian – a Victorian railway hotel on Princes Street, with castle views on one side and the Old Town on the other – before closing the journey with a farewell dinner at Barnbougle Castle, a 13th-century fortress overlooking the Firth of Forth. With every Luxury Escapes private jet charter, expect expert local guides at every stop, a dedicated tour director from day one, and logistics you never have to think about.
The hotels: chosen for character, not just category
The choice of hotel is half the experience: each feels like a destination of its own. Every property is chosen for its character and quality – think the Grand Hôtel Stockholm overlooking the Royal Palace, the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial & Spa, or Thon Hotel Svolvær, where a floating sauna waits on the harbour’s edge.
What’s included beyond the flight
Private charter tours are designed for travellers who want to do more than tick off the tourist hot spots. Welcome dinners, wine tastings, walking tours, spa days, unique dining experiences (with Michelin-starred upgrades available), cultural tours and more – these are the kinds of moments built into the itinerary. Generous credits for optional excursions let you tailor the journey further, whether you favour adventure or quiet evenings.
Dedicated tour directors and concierge-level service
Every Luxury Escapes private charter tour is led by a dedicated tour director who travels with the group from start to finish, supported by local guides at each destination and a concierge team on the ground. They handle the details: restaurant changes, luggage moves, dietary preferences and last-minute requests. For added peace of mind, a doctor travels with the group for the entire trip. That’s what turns a multi-country itinerary into something that feels effortless, from welcome dinner to final farewell.
