Aviation Estates: 4 Homes with Private Jet Access

Luxury Defined tours four fly-in, fly-out homes for the ultimate in personal air travel

Can there be greater luxury than flying by private jet?

The experience itself transcends what has become a drab exercise in navigating the madding crowd: long, long check-in and security lines, jam-packed terminals, congested jetways and the like. Add flight delays into the mix, and suddenly private aviation seems like an attractive necessity.  

Say goodbye to those endless queues: Private jets aren’t subject to the same regulations as commercial airlines. They can take off and land at many more airports than wide-body aircraft. And when it’s a charter or private jet, one can expect exceptional efficiency, custom upholstery, interiors, and seating, and Michelin star-grade cuisine paired with sommelier-curated wine. Can there be an even more luxurious way to fly?  

Yes. The discerning traveler can ascend one step further by flying straight from home, as these Luxury Defined properties will attest: All offer fly-in, fly-out access via private jet, and a few have private runways, and even aircraft hangars to store the plane.

So: Step out the front door and into the passenger cabin. There’s a whole world out there. Ceiling and visibility unlimited. Happy landings!
