Private Jet Hunting Trips
The best quail plantations, duck clubs and pheasant lodges are in small towns airlines barely serve. A private jet lands a few minutes from the lodge, with your guns and gear on board.
Why Fly Private for Hunting Trips
Sporting trips are one of the most practical uses of private aviation. Thomasville, Stuttgart and Aberdeen have few or no airline flights, but each has a runway long enough for business jets and lodges that meet guests at the airport.
Flying private also makes traveling with firearms simpler. You keep your party together, load gear at the aircraft and avoid airline check-in rules, while the operator follows federal and state rules for storing firearms on board.
Firearms on Board
Firearms travel unloaded and cased, with ammunition stored separately, as the operator directs. Tell us how many guns and cases when you book, and check the laws of every state and country on your route.
Book the Season Early
Opening weekends and holiday weeks are the busiest times at hunting airports. Book your flights when you book the lodge.
Early Mornings
Hunts start before dawn, so most groups arrive the afternoon before. We time your arrival with the lodge’s pickup.
Gear and Birds Home
Waders, blinds bags and coolers add weight. Tell us if you plan to fly processed game home so we choose an aircraft with enough room.
