A private jet trip to London for Jaguars vs. Eagles is the ultimate way to experience the NFL’s international series without the friction of commercial travel. On Sunday, October 11, the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a 9:30 AM ET (2:30 PM London time) kickoff. The game sold out the day general sale opened, and flights, hotels and ground transport across London are tight on a major NFL weekend. Flying privately lets you skip the terminal queues, tailor your schedule around kickoff, and bring your whole travel party across the Atlantic on your own timeline.

Two airport options stand out for business aviation arrivals. London Luton (LTN) and London Stansted (STN) sit north of the city and offer the most direct drive to Tottenham, while Farnborough (FAB) is a premier private-aircraft airport southwest of London with a refined FBO experience. Drive times on a game weekend vary, so confirm slots, handling and ground transport well in advance. Below is a sample three-day itinerary built around an unforgettable NFL weekend in London.

WHY FLY PRIVATE TO LONDON FOR JAGUARS VS. EAGLES

Both fan bases travel well. Jaguars supporters have made London a second home through years of international games, and Eagles fans are famously loyal on the road. That means hotel inventory is limited, premium dining books early, and commercial flights from Jacksonville and Philadelphia fill fast.

Flying private sidesteps the friction. Depart Friday evening from Jacksonville (JAX) or the Philadelphia area, sleep in-flight, and land in London Saturday morning rested and ready. With a long-range aircraft, you control departure times, cabin configuration and your return window after the final whistle.

DAY 1 (SATURDAY): ARRIVAL & LONDON AT LEISURE

Land at your chosen London airport and clear customs privately through the FBO. Transfer into central London by chauffeured car and settle in at one of the city’s landmark hotels: The Savoy on the Strand for classic grandeur on the Thames, or Claridge’s in Mayfair for timeless Art Deco luxury.

Use the afternoon to enjoy the city: a walk along the Thames, a private visit to the Tower of London, or a stroll through Borough Market.

For Dinner:

• Rules, Covent Garden: Often described as London’s oldest restaurant, serving classic British game and roasts in a historic dining room.

• Hawksmoor Seven Dials: A steakhouse favorite for dry-aged British beef, a fitting choice for a pre-game feast.

DAY 2 (SUNDAY): JAGUARS VS. EAGLES AT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM

Game day. Start with a relaxed breakfast, then head north to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium well ahead of the 2:30 PM kickoff. Arrive early to soak in the atmosphere, the Jaguars and Eagles fan energy, and the pregame build-up. The stadium’s Market Place concourse is a lively spot to take in the scene before you head to your seats.

Because face-value tickets sold out quickly, premium hospitality and vetted resale are the realistic routes to seats. Start that search early and work through reputable providers.

For Dinner & Evening:

• Dishoom, Covent Garden: Bombay-inspired comfort food, a crowd-pleaser for a post-game group.

• Core by Clare Smyth, Notting Hill: A refined, celebratory dinner for a more elevated evening.

DAY 3 (MONDAY): MORNING IN LONDON & DEPARTURE

Begin with a leisurely breakfast at The Wolseley on Piccadilly, one of London’s grand cafes, then pick up a few souvenirs along Regent Street or in Mayfair.

Head back to the FBO for a mid-day departure. Flying west, you gain hours on the clock and can be home in Florida or Pennsylvania by evening.

WHY EVENT TRAVEL IS A JET BROKERAGE CONVERSATION

A transatlantic NFL trip shows why aircraft capability matters. Roughly 3,200 nautical miles separate Philadelphia from London, and Jacksonville is farther still, so range, cabin comfort and operational flexibility drive the decision. If you are chartering for trips like this one, you may be asking whether it is time to own.

That is where an experienced jet brokerage partner adds real value. A trusted jet brokerage team can help you evaluate long-range aircraft, compare ownership against charter, time a purchase or sale in the market, and make sure your aircraft supports the international trips you want to take. Whether you are buying your first long-range jet or selling an aircraft to move into something better suited to your travel, working with a knowledgeable jet brokerage firm helps you avoid costly missteps.
