Summer Starts Now: Why June Is Prime Time to Charter a Private Jet

Jun 2

June marks more than the start of summer – it kicks off one of the busiest seasons for luxury travel. Families are wrapping school, major events are taking off around the globe, and destinations from the Hamptons to the Med are booking out fast.

For many of our clients, early summer is the smartest time to charter. Here’s why June matters – and how PorterJets ensures you get where you’re going without compromise.

1. Skip the Summer Rush Before It Peaks

By late June and July, aircraft availability tightens, hotel rates climb, and airport congestion surges. Chartering early means:

Better aircraft selection and preferred rates
Smoother routing and airport options
Fewer delays due to weather or traffic volume

Planning now ensures you fly on your schedule – not everyone else’s.

2. Make the Most of Shoulder Season in Europe & the Caribbean

Before high season pricing and heat arrive, early June offers a sweet spot for destinations like:

The South of France – Think Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez, with lighter crowds and cooler evenings.
The Bahamas or Turks & Caicos – Still serene, with favorable flying conditions and fewer superyachts.
Greek Islands – Catch the charm of Santorini and Paros before peak tourism hits.

We’ll coordinate routes that avoid long layovers and land you closer to the coastlines.

3. Chartering Private Makes Family Travel Simple

Traveling with kids, pets, or multigenerational groups? Private jets give you:

Direct access to airports closer to your final destination
No TSA lines, lost baggage, or delays
A comfortable, secure cabin where the trip starts as soon as you board

And with PorterJets, we can assist with every detail – from villa rentals to inflight menus.

4. Short-Haul Luxury: Hamptons, Nantucket, Aspen & More

Not all summer escapes are overseas. In June, we’re flying clients to:

Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard for weekend retreats
Aspen and Jackson Hole for cool mountain air and outdoor adventure
Miami, Naples, and Charleston for quick sun-soaked getaways

Private charter lets you spend more time there – and less time getting there.
