Here’s a look at why last-minute private jet travel is easier than ever, and five destinations perfect for a spontaneous summer escape.
Why Last-Minute Doesn’t Mean Settling for Less
For many travellers, “last-minute” implies rushed decisions and second-best options. But with private aviation, that couldn’t be further from the truth. When you fly with Villiers Jets, last-minute means freedom, flexibility, and full control.
Need to depart within 12–24 hours? We can have your aircraft ready. Want to change your return date while you’re abroad? No problem. Our concierge team can arrange airport slots, flight plans, onboard catering, ground transfers, and luxury accommodation with just hours' notice.
Private jet travel removes the usual barriers that come with traditional airlines—like rigid schedules, packed terminals, and lengthy security lines. When you decide to go, all we need is your departure location, number of passengers, preferred time, and destination. We’ll do the rest.
In many cases, we can even make last-minute travel more cost-effective through empty leg flights (pre-scheduled aircraft positioning legs that become available at discounted rates)
The Advantage of Flying Private for Spontaneous Travel
Private jet travel gives you something that commercial airlines never can: complete itinerary freedom. There’s no adjusting your plans to fit an airline's limited routes. Instead, you dictate the schedule, choosing from thousands of airports (many that commercial flights don’t reach) and departing when it suits you best.
With shorter check-in windows, exclusive terminal access, and on-demand aircraft availability, it’s entirely possible to decide today and be in your chosen destination by dinnertime.
And beyond the flight itself, Villiers Jets offers a concierge-level experience. From onboard meals tailored to your tastes, to chauffeur service on arrival, your entire trip is designed for speed, comfort, and luxury.
Top Last-Minute Luxury Destinations for Summer 2025
1. Amalfi Coast, Italy
Few places capture the essence of summer luxury like the Amalfi Coast. Fly privately into Naples International Airport, where we’ll arrange a swift transfer to Positano, Ravello or Capri. Expect cliffside suites, Michelin-star dining, and private boat excursions along the coastline.
La Sirenuse, Il San Pietro di Positano, and Caruso by Belmond offer classic Mediterranean elegance and unforgettable views. The Amalfi Coast is often fully booked well in advance, but last-minute opportunities do arise - and with Villiers’ network, we can make it happen.
2. Ibiza, Spain
Whether it’s a mid-week escape to unwind or a spontaneous celebration with friends, Ibiza never fails to deliver. The island has evolved beyond its party image into a full-fledged luxury destination. You’ll find wellness retreats, world-class dining, and exclusive villas tucked into peaceful hillsides.
Land at Ibiza Airport, where private FBO services ensure a smooth arrival. From there, you can be at a beach club like El Silencio or in your private villa in less than an hour. Villiers can also arrange yacht charters, last-minute restaurant bookings, and spa sessions with just a phone call.
3. Algarve, Portugal
For those seeking golden beaches, top-tier golf, and boutique resorts, the Algarve is a gem, and perfect for short-notice travel. Fly into Faro Airport, which accommodates private aviation with ease, and head straight to Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo or Vilamoura.
We can organise luxury beachfront villas, tee times at championship courses, and even private chef services. Whether you’re with family or looking for a romantic retreat, the Algarve combines accessibility with authentic Mediterranean charm.
4. Lake Geneva, Switzerland
Sometimes luxury means cooler air, alpine lakes, and understated elegance. A spontaneous trip to Lake Geneva offers just that. Fly into Geneva Airport, just a short drive from lakeside towns like Montreux and Vevey, where iconic hotels like Fairmont Le Montreux Palace await.
Ideal for those who prefer wellness escapes, wine tasting, and cultural sightseeing, this destination is both refined and rejuvenating. You can also extend your journey with a private helicopter transfer into the Alps or neighbouring regions.
5. Marrakech, Morocco
Exotic, vibrant, and always in season, Marrakech is a favourite among our clients seeking a luxury escape with cultural depth. Villiers Jets offers direct access to Marrakech Menara Airport, which has a dedicated terminal for private flights, ensuring privacy and efficiency on arrival.
Stay at legendary hotels like La Mamounia, Amanjena, or Royal Mansour. Explore the souks, take a guided medina tour, or retreat into the Agafay desert for glamping under the stars. Even on short notice, our team can organise everything from wellness treatments to camel rides to rooftop dining under the Moroccan sunset.
