Did you know there are over 4000 airports across the United States that are accessible by private jet?
While some may be large international airports in major cities with multiple runways, others are exclusively non-commercial small-scale airports in more-remote parts of the country.
So, while flying by private jet is a luxurious experience, choosing flight paths can be overwhelming. To make your lives a little easier, we have comp a list of some of the best airports across America, allowing you to concentrate less on planning the journey and more on enjoying it.
Teterboro Airport (TEB)
Manhattan serves as the New York City's economic and administrative centre, cultural identifier, and historical birthplace - in short, Manhattan is the beating heart of New York City. Concerts are held at Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center or Madison Square Garden, home to the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers. Home to iconic attractions like Times Square, Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Empire State Building, Manhattan is what the rest of the world images when they think of the Big Apple, The City that Never Sleeps, NYC - whatever you wish to call it.
You can arrive and depart from various airports to get to Manhattan - Newark, JFK, LaGuardia - but these are among the busiest in the New York metropolitan area. Manhattan, and New York City as a whole, has so much to enjoy - you don't want to spend it queuing in a densely packed airport.
For those who want to get off the plane and start exploring the city straight away, why not get a private jet to Teterboro Airport. Located across the Hudson River and just 12 miles away from Midtown Manhattan, Teterboro Airport is strategically located to offer the quickest possible route to and from New York City. As Teterboro does not handle scheduled commercial flights, passengers travelling through this airport are guaranteed discretion and ease upon their departure or arrival. With five FBOs, 23 hangars, and friendly, accomodating staff, Teterboro is the best place to get a charter flight.
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
If there's one thing you should know about Washington, it's that it can get pretty crowded. There are almost 20 million tourists who visit the capital city every year to catch a glimpse of the White House, the Capitol Building, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument. When you combine that number with the people who call Washington home and cram them all in a city that is only 68 square miles, things get a little crowded. That is no reason not to visit, however. There is much to enjoy in the nation's capital.
Offering flights to and from over 130 cities worldwide, Washington Dulles International International Airport is one of the United State's most well-connected airports providing private jet flight services. Located just 26 miles from Washington's cosmopolitan downtown, you will discover some of the city's best galleries and museums, eclectic restaurants and bustling nightlife. So whether you want to learn about America's history or see how the other half live, Dulles is the airport to fly to.
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
Palm Beach conjures up images of glitzy estates, mega mansions, and flashy sports cars lining the white sand beaches of Florida's Gold Coast. The shopping nirvana of Worth Avenue is known worldwide for its upscale boutiques, galleries and restaurants, while the Gilded Age architecture scattered around the city will captivate and inspire.
If you prefer to spend your days getting holes in one's, Palm Beach is the place to be. It is well-known that Florida has more golf courses than any other state in the country, but did you know that Palm Beach has the most courses in Florida? The sheer number and the indisputable quality of the courses have made Palm Beach Florida's Golf Capital. It even has a golf course in its airport! Speaking of which.
Palm Beach International is the preferred airport for those travelling in the Miami area, having recently been awarded the title of '7th Best Airport in The U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler's 2021 Readers' Choice Awards. One of its greatest advantages is that it takes just 15 minutes to pass through security and get to the gate, meaning you won't miss your flight if you sleep in late. Then, there are the mini-golf courses, lactation suites for breastfeeding mothers, mini pet parks, an indulgent spa, and decked-out business loungers. It is obvious why Palm Beach is a fan favourite among private jet travellers.
Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL)
As one of the fastest growing cities in the United States., Dallas is starting to attract more and more visitors. Dallas is home to more than a dozen neighbourhoods and districts, each with its own distinct vibe and attractions, with something new to explore at every corner. Dallas has a place for everyone, from spectacular museums and performing arts venues in the Arts District to the buzzing nightlife and live music at cool bars in Deep Ellum.
It is also home to one of the best airports in North America, having claimed the top spot in J.D. Powers' 2020 list of best airports - and that was before it had upgraded its runway. Between its impressive art installations, its luxury shopping complex, and world-class dining amenities, Dallas Love Field guarantees a deluxe experience. The airport's commitment to serving the local community and environment is just the icing on the cake.
Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
Did you know that Las Vegas welcomes about 42 million tourists per year? You might not find that particularly surprising given it is rated as a must-visit destination. Although it is most famous for its casinos and buzzing nightlife, Las Vegas has something for everyone. From incredible museums, shows, and interactive activities to world-renowned restaurants and hotels, Vegas has it all.
McCarran Airport, recently renamed Harry Reid International Airport after Nevada's long-serving senator, is just two very short miles from the neon-lit strip. Once your plane has landed, the airport's Fixed Base Operators ensure a smooth and swift exit from the airport. So whatever your reason for travelling to Sin City - whether it be business, pleasure, or a bit of both - you can be in your boardroom or at the blackjack table before you can finish singing "viva Las Vegas".
Chicago Midway Airport (MDW)
Recently, Chicago was awarded the title of Best Big City - for the fifth year in a row! This is an amazing feat, made all the more impressive because they are the only city to accomplish this.
So, what makes Chicago the Best Big City? There are many reasons. It could be its rich history, award-winning culinary scene, and vibrant neighbourhoods. What makes Chicago truly special is its welcoming and inclusive spirit and the resilience of the people who live there. Chicago is the Comeback City. Ever since the world's first skyscraper rose from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, Chicago has been a place where comebacks happen. And it's this spirit that will have you coming back for more.
When visiting Chicago, you will likely stop off at Chicago O'Hare Airport, which, while one of the most well-connected airports in the country, it's also one of the busiest. Its neighbour, Chicago Midway Airport, is therefore much more efficient for those travelling by private jet. Aside from being less hectic, it is far more convenient. Everything from security checks to boarding is done in almost no time at all. What's more, it is much closer to the downtown area at just 11 miles. And if you do have to wait? Settle into one of the airport's many workstations, log onto the free wifi, and get some extra work done or watch some Netflix in its quiet ultra-modern departure lounge.
