A private jet journey through New York transforms travel across the Empire State from unpredictable highway traffic and crowded commercial terminals into a fluid, elevated retreat. From bypassing busy major hubs to landing directly at executive airfields steps from Manhattan heliports, coastal estates, and secluded mountain retreats, private aviation gives travelers the freedom to experience the best of New York on their own schedule.
This exclusive itinerary pairs the iconic skyline and culture of Manhattan with the serene elegance of the Hudson Valley, the pristine lakes of the Adirondacks, and the high-society coastal charm of the Hamptons—all seamlessly connected through private jet travel.
DAYS 1–2: MANHATTAN & LOWER HUDSON VALLEY
THE ARRIVAL
Begin your Empire State escape by touching down at Teterboro Airport (TEB) or Westchester County Airport (HPN) via private aircraft. Bypassing commercial airport congestion, transition directly to a waiting luxury ground transfer or private helicopter shuttle into Manhattan, arriving at your hotel overlooking Central Park within minutes.
THE EXPERIENCE
Spend your first afternoon exploring Manhattan’s world-class culture with a private, after-hours gallery tour or a curated shopping experience along Madison Avenue. Enjoy an exclusive dinner at a Michelin-starred establishment before taking in a Broadway production.
On day two, take a private helicopter excursion north following the Hudson River. Explore the historic estates, art installations, and farm-to-table dining of the Lower Hudson Valley before returning to the city for a sunset cruise around the Manhattan harbor aboard a private yacht.
DAYS 3–4: THE ADIRONDACKS & LAKE PLACID
THE TRANSIT
Board your private aircraft at Teterboro or Westchester and head north to Adirondack Regional Airport (SLK). Utilizing private aviation turns an all-day drive through Upstate New York into a swift, scenic flight over the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains, preserving your precious vacation time.
THE EXPERIENCE
Spend day three experiencing the Great Camp heritage and unspoiled wilderness of the Adirondacks. Check into a luxurious private lakeside lodge, followed by an afternoon of private boating or guided hiking through pristine alpine trails.
On day four, enjoy a private floatplane excursion over Lake Placid and the surrounding High Peaks wilderness. Land on a secluded mountain lake for an exclusive picnic lunch prepared by a private chef, followed by an afternoon of fly fishing or relaxing by the water before retreating to your wilderness lodge.
DAYS 5–6: THE HAMPTONS & EAST END
THE TRANSIT
Depart the Adirondacks aboard your private jet for a direct flight to the East End of Long Island, landing at Francis S. Gabreski Airport (FOK) or East Hampton Town Airport (JPX). Flying private allows you to completely skip the multi-hour, stop-and-go weekend traffic of the Long Island Expressway.
THE EXPERIENCE
Spend day five exploring the coastal sophistication of the Hamptons. Enjoy an exclusive morning on a private Atlantic beach, followed by high-end boutique shopping in East Hampton and a wine tasting at a private vineyard estate in Bridgehampton.
On day six, take to the water with a private yacht charter out of Sag Harbor, exploring Montauk Point and Shelter Island. Enjoy a beachfront seafood lunch on the water, followed by an evening sunset dinner overlooking the bay.
DAY 7: SARATOGA SPRINGS & EFFORTLESS DEPARTURE
THE EXPERIENCE
Finish your itinerary with a short hop north to Saratoga County Airport (5B2). Spend a relaxed final morning taking in Saratoga’s historic charm, visiting the renowned thoroughbred racing grounds, or enjoying a private spa treatment at a historic mineral spring resort.
THE DEPARTURE
When it is time to return home, your private aviation journey ends as effortlessly as it began. With your aircraft prepped and waiting at the private terminal, you can board at your leisure without long security lines or delays.
