Private jet charter in Baden Baden

Breakfast in Kent or Surrey, lunch on the edge of the Black Forest: with an early start a light jet makes the hop from Britain to the Rhine plain in roughly an hour and a half. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around the airport hours, the festival dates and the length of the stay. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. Baden-Baden is small, specific and run on opening hours. The airport has no night operation, its published day ends at 22:00 on weekdays and starts later on Sundays, and almost every decision about this trip begins from that fact, followed by the date and the cabin size.

 

private jet charter

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Baden-Baden depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

  • using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
  • via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
  • by landline or cell phone;
  • via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Baden-Baden?

One hour twenty-five from Biggin Hill in a light jet, about one hour fifty-five from Edinburgh, and one hour of clock difference to remember on arrival, because Germany keeps Central European time. At 360 to 650 nautical miles this is among the shortest sectors we fly into southern Germany: no aircraft needs a heavy cabin to make it, and the light jet is the natural starting point for the south of England. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

Door to door, and the clock on the wall

Leave Biggin Hill at seven in the morning and the wheels touch the long runway at Rheinmünster at about half past nine local time. The airport lies 17 km from the middle of Baden-Baden, which the tourist board puts at about 25 minutes by road, so a client who left central London at half past five can be in the Kurgarten before ten and at a spa-hotel breakfast table soon after. Add the drive to the British airfield and the quick processing at both ends and the journey from central London to central Baden-Baden comes to roughly three and a half hours. A scheduled flight with a change at Frankfurt or Stuttgart and a transfer by road rarely matches that, and by rail it takes considerably longer.

Light jet or midsize: what decides it on this route

– Up to four people with ordinary bags, a light jet is the right answer. At about an hour and a half in a Citation CJ3+ the cabin is no hardship, and a midsize Citation XLS+ on the same sector from Biggin Hill is priced about £1,450 higher one way;

– Past that, or with a golf set, gala clothes, a dog or a week of spa luggage, we quote a midsize jet beside it so you see both figures. Festival weekends push the bag count up faster than the passenger count, and the hold decides;

– Heavy aircraft only make sense for a large party travelling as one group, or when Baden-Baden is the first stop of a longer European loop rather than a destination of its own.

Private jet flights from Baden-Baden

Baden-Baden is not a hub, but it is a comfortable launch pad for the Rhine valley. Zurich and Frankfurt are inside a turboprop hour, the Alps and Geneva sit beyond a short jet hop, and the Mediterranean is a midsize sector away. Typical one-way prices:

Short hops: when the aircraft is the wrong answer

Zurich is only 85 nautical miles from Baden-Baden and Frankfurt 80, and sectors that short rarely repay the aircraft. The town's station has direct ICE, EC and IC services to Basel, Zurich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Munich, and the tourist board gives about 90 minutes by train to Frankfurt. The jet earns its fee when a plane connection waits at the far end, when the party is large, or when the aircraft stays with you for a second stop. For a plain city-to-city run we will say so and quote the road.

Before you accept an onward quote from Baden-Baden

– The departure time against the airport hours. The published day ends at 22:00 on weekdays and earlier on Sundays and public holidays, and a wave of departures after a gala has to fit inside that or ask for permission, so a quote that ignores it will change;

– Whether the itinerary is one booking. Baden-Baden to Zurich to Nice arranged as one trip costs noticeably less than three separate quotes, because the crew and aircraft stay with you instead of repositioning each time.

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Baden-Baden:

 

Light jets, and where most bookings land

At about an hour and a half this is the sensible class for up to four people with ordinary luggage. Nothing here lacks the range for Baden-Baden, and the airport's 3,120 m runway is generous for the type, so the money goes on the hour and not on capability you will not use.

HondaJet Elite · 5 seatsfrom £1,900/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 7 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h
Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 · 8 seatsfrom £2,700/h

Midsize, for festival luggage and a longer stay

Gala clothes, golf clubs and a week of spa luggage are what push a party past the light-jet hold, and the extra cabin height makes a long weekend easier on the way home.

Learjet 75 Liberty · 8 seatsfrom £3,000/h
Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £3,100/h
Cessna Citation Latitude · 9 seatsfrom £3,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £3,400/h

Super-midsize and large

For a group travelling as one party, for a team that needs to work in the air, and for trips that carry on from Baden-Baden to the Mediterranean rather than turning round.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,000/h
Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,350/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Gulfstream G450 · 13 seatsfrom £5,800/h

Turboprops

The right aircraft for the short onward legs to Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich or the Engadin: each is about an hour or less in a turboprop, and the saving over a jet on that distance is large.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 9 seatsfrom £1,400/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,650/h

Helicopters

Not for the flight from Britain but for the last stretch: a villa lawn in the hills above the town, a Black Forest viewpoint or a meeting in Stuttgart that cannot wait for the motorway. German rules on where a helicopter may put down are strict, so the site is agreed before the quote.

Airbus H125 · 5 seatson request
Airbus H130 · 6 seatson request
Airbus H135 · 6 seatson request
Bell 429 · 6 seatson request

 

online private jet directory

 

This is a small part of what is available. Baden-Baden sits between the Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Zurich and Strasbourg corridors, so for a booking that is not in the middle of a festival week there is usually an aircraft within an hour of Rheinmünster, and that is often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Baden-Baden

One airport does nearly all of the work, and it is not in Baden-Baden itself. The others matter for particular trips, and it helps to know them before a quote arrives with one of them in it.

Airport What it gives you
Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, Baden Airpark
FKB / EDSB
The answer for almost every trip. It stands at Rheinmünster, 17 km and about 25 minutes from the centre of Baden-Baden according to the tourist board, with one runway, 03/21, of 3,120 m by 45 m. Runway 21 carries a Category IIIb instrument approach, which helps when fog sits on the Rhine plain. Business aircraft go to the Private Aviation Center beside their own apron, where ACM Business Aviation Terminal provides VIP handling, customs and immigration coordination, catering, limousines and crew rooms. Customs is on site, slots are not required and handling is optional according to the databases we use. Jet A-1 and de-icing are available. The hours are limited, as described below
Strasbourg Entzheim
SXB / LFST
The French alternative, 2,400 m of runway on the south-western side of Strasbourg, roughly 50 km in a straight line from Baden-Baden. Handling databases list it as an airport of entry with customs, no slots and optional handling, and several handlers, among them Jetex France, are named. Worth considering when the stay is half in Alsace. One handling database lists it as open round the clock, which makes it the fallback for a late arrival, but we confirm the hours in writing. Allow about an hour by road to the spa town, and note that the aircraft clears customs in France, not Germany
Stuttgart
STR / EDDS
The large-airport option, about 110 km and an hour by road from Baden-Baden according to the tourist board, with a runway of 3,345 m. Night operating restrictions apply and the airport is slot coordinated, so it suits a day trip better than a late finish. The sensible choice when the programme is as much Stuttgart as Baden-Baden, or when Baden Airpark's hours do not fit
Frankfurt Main
FRA / EDDF
Around 160 to 165 km away, between 1.5 and 2 hours by road, or about 90 minutes by direct train from Baden-Baden's own station. A night flight ban applies. A reason to use it only when Frankfurt is the real destination or when an onward long-haul connection is waiting there
Basel EuroAirport
BSL / LFSB
About 150 km and an hour and a half from the town by road. A binational airport on French soil, and useful for a trip that is half Switzerland. Not an alternative for a plain Baden-Baden stay, which is why we mention it and do not recommend it

 

Four points settle most Baden-Baden arrivals:

Choose the handler

Business aircraft are dealt with at the Private Aviation Center, and ACM's terminal there arranges the VIP greeting, the customs and immigration coordination, the catering order, a limousine and a hotel booking. Fuel is arranged through the same desk, which matters because the airport limits cash and card payment per refuelling. We confirm who is handling you before the quote, not on the day.

Hours and permission

For aircraft up to 5.7 tonnes the airport is open from 06:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and from 09:00 to 20:00 on Sundays and public holidays. Heavier aircraft can ask for permission to operate from 22:00 to 23:00, and on Sundays and holidays from 06:00 to 09:00 too. There is no 24-hour option, so a late evening is planned, moved or switched to Strasbourg, and the hours that apply to your aircraft are confirmed in writing.

Border and passport

Germany is in Schengen and Britain is not, so passports and customs are cleared on arrival. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport issued less than ten years before arrival and valid for at least three months after departure. Flying home, a General Aviation Report is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure.

Car and the last 17 km

The drive from the apron to the spa town is about 25 minutes, and the A5 motorway serves both. Give us the hotel as well as the flight, because a driver told only Private Aviation Center may wait at the wrong door. On festival and racing days put the car in the quote from the start.

Border, passport and the French option

The simplest arrival is the one the runway suits: you land at Baden Airpark, the handler coordinates customs and immigration, and the car is at the apron. The French option is different in kind. If the plan is Strasbourg first and the Black Forest second, land at Strasbourg Entzheim: the formalities are done there, and the road to Baden-Baden afterwards is inside Schengen with no border control.

From the apron to the Kurgarten

Baden-Baden has about 56,000 residents and a UNESCO listing as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe, a group of 11 towns in 7 countries. The Romans built the first baths on the springs, and the Soldiers' Bath still lies directly below the Friedrichsbad. Most of what a visitor wants sits within a short walk of the Kurhaus and the Lichtentaler Allee, so the distances that matter are the ones that run outward to the airport, to Alsace and to Stuttgart.

about 17 km by road, and the reason a private client lands at Rheinmünster
about 25 minutes

Baden-Baden to Basel
about 150 km by road
about 1.5 hours
Baden-Baden to Frankfurt
about 160 km by road; the direct train takes about 90 minutes
about 1.5 hours

What private clients do here is mostly what the town was built for. Friedrichsbad and the Caracalla Spa take the thermal water, the Festspielhaus holds about 2,500 people for opera and concerts and is described as Germany's largest opera and concert house, and the Merkur mountain is reached by a funicular railway. The tourist board lists afternoon tea at the Brenners Park Hotel & Spa among the things to do, and the villa district built in the 19th century adds private houses to the hotel stock. Beyond the town there is the Black Forest, reached by the B500, and Alsace across the Rhine.

 

The business side is less visible but steady. The airport sits on a business park with more than 130 companies and over 3,000 staff, a Mercedes-Benz passenger-car plant stands at Rastatt, about 15 km from the airfield, and Karlsruhe lies about 40 km to the north. A plant visit, a board dinner at a spa hotel and a flight home the same evening is a plain and common booking, and for that one the airport's published hours are the thing to watch.

 

Flying to Baden-Baden with a dog or a cat

Germany asks for more paperwork than the flight takes, and the flight is short enough that most animals sleep through it. The animal sits beside you in the cabin with no hold involved. What matters is that the certificate is dated correctly, because it has a ten-day life from the day it is issued.

 

private flight with animals

 

What Germany asks for:

  • An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or on the same day, never after it;
  • A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before entry;
  • An Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian, issued no more than ten days before the animal enters the EU, and valid for the return as stated on the certificate;
  • No more than five animals per traveller, presented at the first point of entry into the EU, which the handler coordinates at the terminal;
  • For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before the return flight to Britain, recorded with product, date and time. Cats are exempt.

What catches owners out on the Baden-Baden run

– The tapeworm treatment is for the way home, not the way out, so it is a vet appointment you book in Baden-Baden itself, towards the end of the stay. The 24 to 120 hour window is tight on a long weekend, and the airport's shorter Sunday makes a Sunday departure harder to fit round it;

– A GB pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU. The certificate has to be a fresh one for each trip, and a dog whose rabies vaccination lapses while it is away loses the right to come back on it;

– If the dog is coming to a spa hotel, settle the hotel and any helicopter transfer before the quote, because a hotel has to accept the animal and a rotary operator has to agree to it separately. Back in Britain, we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

The Baden-Baden calendar: festivals, racing weeks and one very good market

The spa works all year, so the calendar here is set by performances and racing, not by the weather. Easter, Whitsun, high summer, early autumn and Advent are the peaks, and knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Holy Week
Easter Festival at the Festspielhaus: a week of opera and symphonic evenings played by the Berlin Philharmonic. Guests arrive with formal clothes, so the luggage count is high
Mid-January
Winter Festival at the Festspielhaus, which starts from mid-January. Fewer guests need a jet than at Easter, so booking is generally easier
May and June
Spring Meeting at Iffezheim racecourse, with the Whitsun Festival at the Festspielhaus from late May into early June. Two events in the same weeks, and a mix of racing guests and concert guests
From early July
Summer Festival at the Festspielhaus. Demand is steady rather than sharp, and the long days make a late-afternoon departure comfortable inside the airport hours
Late August and early September
Great Week at Iffezheim, with a Summer Meeting in the Kurgarten as an open-air side event with live music. The tourist board calls the races a meeting place for the elite of sport, politics and business
October
Sales & Racing Festival at Iffezheim, and the Autumn Festival at the Festspielhaus from early October. Two events in one month, so the dates are worth fixing early
Late November to early January
Christkindelsmarkt, the Christmas market in front of the Kurhaus, with a sky stage in the Kurgarten for concerts. Weekend city breaks by air, mostly small parties, sometimes with a dog

Why a festival week costs more

Not the flying. The fleet around Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Zurich is large and Baden-Baden sits comfortably inside it. What gets tight is the narrow operating window: the airport has no night operation, so every guest wants the same late-afternoon departure, and an aircraft that needs to leave after the published day must ask for permission first. A booking made a fortnight before Easter week or the Great Week can still be done, but it pays more and may use an aircraft positioned from another country. The same booking made four or five weeks earlier is simpler and cheaper, and outside those weeks a charter can usually be arranged in a day or two.

 

Ways to bring the Baden-Baden price down

  • Move the dates a few days where you can. The week after the Easter Festival and the weeks between the summer festival and the Great Week are calm;
  • Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Zurich or Strasbourg takes less positioning than one from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful share of the bill;
  • Take the light jet unless the luggage says otherwise. Four people and four bags do not need a midsize, and the money saved buys the hotel and the spa;
  • Choose a departure well inside the published hours. An afternoon departure on a weekday or a Sunday avoids the permission step altogether.

 

Types of flights

Baden-Baden produces a different mix from the capital cities we cover, because the town is a spa, a festival venue and a racing centre first and a business address second.

  • Spa and wellness weekends, usually four to six people, a light jet and a car waiting at the apron;
  • Festival trips for the Easter, Whitsun, summer and autumn seasons at the Festspielhaus, where formal clothes fill the hold;
  • Racing trips for the spring meeting, the Great Week and the Sales & Racing Festival at Iffezheim;
  • Corporate visits to the Rastatt car plant, the airport's own business park and Karlsruhe, often out and back in a day;
  • Combined trips with Alsace, landing in Strasbourg and finishing in Baden-Baden, or the other way round;
  • Christmas market weekends, many of them with a dog.

The day trip is worth a closer look. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for, but it still comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. Leaving Biggin Hill at seven and being back in Britain the same evening is realistic, and on this route we quote the day trip both ways so the difference is visible.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Baden-Baden route they come from the rhythm of the festivals and the racing weeks, and it helps to know what produces them.

Where Baden-Baden empty legs come from

– Festival and racing weekends. Aircraft bring parties in on the Friday and leave empty on the Sunday, and that Sunday leg is the one most often offered, bearing in mind that it has to leave inside the airport's published hours;

– Corporate days. A plant visit that finishes at lunch frees the aircraft, which then returns to its base empty in the afternoon;

– The Christmas market season. Short weekend stays fill the aircraft one way, and the return to the base is released as an empty leg.

Because the Baden-Baden corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Baden-Baden leg the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Baden-Baden a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip. The town is compact and the airport is a short drive, so the places where rotary flight changes the day are the Black Forest hills, the Stuttgart appointment and the villa lawn with no road close by. Scenic helicopter flights over the Black Forest also operate from the airport.

Before you plan around a helicopter

– A helicopter in Germany cannot land wherever it likes. Take-off and landing outside an approved airfield need both the landowner's consent and a permit from the aviation authority under the Air Traffic Act, so a hotel lawn or a private villa has its status confirmed before we quote, not after;

– Weather sets the schedule. Cloud on the Black Forest ridges can stop a helicopter on a day when the jet lands without trouble, so a transfer needs a road alternative planned into the same day;

– Twin-engine machines are the sensible minimum on any route across higher ground. For the Easter week and the racing weeks, book the helicopter together with the jet or expect to be told there is no rotary capacity.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for Black Forest work, the wider H130 for scenic and villa transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

Baden-Baden charters from the booking notes: six typical trips

What the corridor looks like once a quote turns into a flight. Six typical jobs of the kind that come through our booking notes, described in outline, with the particulars changed.

SPA WEEKEND · LIGHT JET

Four friends, a Friday departure and a Sunday return

Biggin Hill - Baden-Baden, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 25 min each way · 4 pax

Wheels up on Friday morning, on the ground at Rheinmünster before half past nine local time, and a car to the hotel in about 25 minutes. The return left on Sunday afternoon, well inside the airport's hours, and the booking was priced as one trip with the aircraft waiting rather than as two.

FESTIVAL WEEK · THE LUGGAGE BOOKED THE CABIN

Six people, gala clothes and a week at the Easter Festival

Farnborough - Baden-Baden, Citation XLS+, about 1 h 25 min · 6 pax

Evening dress for a week of concerts took the hold well beyond what a light jet carries comfortably, so the quote moved up a class for the luggage and not for the seats. The date was fixed by the festival, the booking went in five weeks ahead, and the return was set for the Saturday afternoon.

RACING WEEK · A DEPARTURE BEFORE THE CLOSE

A group for the Great Week at Iffezheim

London Luton - Baden-Baden, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 25 min · 6 pax

The last race finished late, and the group wanted to leave that evening. The airport's published hours were the limit, and a Sunday is shorter than a weekday, so the departure was set for the afternoon and a dinner moved. It is the kind of detail a quote should state, and ours did.

CORPORATE · OUT AND BACK IN A DAY

A plant visit near Rastatt and home for dinner

Manchester - Baden-Baden, Citation XLS+, about 1 h 40 min each way · 5 pax

Five people, one morning meeting at a plant and a lunch. The aircraft waited at the Private Aviation Center, a car covered the drive, and the return left in the late afternoon, well inside the weekday hours. A same-day return cost less than two one-way charters would have.

CHRISTMAS MARKET · A DOG ON BOARD

Four adults and a spaniel for a December weekend

Southampton - Baden-Baden, Phenom 300E, about 1 h 25 min · 4 pax + dog

The Animal Health Certificate had to be dated inside ten days of arrival, and the vet appointment in Baden-Baden for the tapeworm treatment had to fall between 24 and 120 hours before the flight home. We booked both with the aircraft, the hotel took the dog, and everything was settled in a single exchange of messages.

EMPTY LEG · SUNDAY AFTERNOON WEST

A jet already going your way

Baden-Baden - London Luton, Citation CJ3+ empty leg, about 1 h 25 min · 3 pax

The aircraft had brought a party in for the weekend and was going home empty. The client gave us a three-day window instead of a date, which is what makes these work, and paid well below a fresh one-way charter for a Sunday afternoon departure that sat well inside the airport's hours.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Baden-Baden

1How long is a private jet flight from London to Baden-Baden?

About 1 hour 25 minutes from Biggin Hill, London City, Farnborough or Luton in a light jet, covering 360 to 390 nautical miles. From Southampton allow about 1 hour 25 in a Phenom, from Birmingham or Bristol about 1 hour 30, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow roughly 1 hour 55. Germany is one hour ahead of Britain, so a seven o'clock departure from Biggin Hill lands a little before half past nine local time.

2How much does a private jet to Baden-Baden cost?

From about £5,900 one way on a light jet out of Biggin Hill, £5,950 from London City and £6,200 from Luton. A Phenom 300E from Southampton, Birmingham or Bristol runs £6,500 to £7,150, and from Scotland allow £13,900 to £14,350. The Easter festival, the racing weeks and the Christmas market weekends price above these figures.

3Which airport should a private jet use for Baden-Baden?

Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (FKB / EDSB), also called Baden Airpark, for almost every trip. The tourist board puts it 17 km and about 25 minutes from the centre of Baden-Baden, it has a 3,120 m runway, a Private Aviation Center for business aircraft and customs on site. Strasbourg (SXB / LFST) is about an hour away by road and is the alternative if the trip crosses into Alsace; Stuttgart (STR / EDDS) is the large-airport option.

4Can a private jet land at Baden-Baden in the evening or on a Sunday?

Yes, within limits. For aircraft up to 5.7 tonnes the airport publishes weekday hours of 06:00 to 22:00 and Sunday and public holiday hours of 09:00 to 20:00. Heavier aircraft can ask for prior permission to operate from 22:00 to 23:00, and on Sundays and holidays also from 06:00 to 09:00. Plan the return around those windows, and we confirm in writing the hours that apply to your aircraft before the date is fixed.

5When should I book a private jet to Baden-Baden?

Outside the festival and racing weeks a day or two is usually enough. For the Easter festival at the Festspielhaus, the Whitsun and summer festivals, the Great Week of racing at Iffezheim and the Christmas market weekends, allow four to five weeks. The airport's hours are narrow, so a slot that suits the event is worth securing early.

6Can I take my dog to Baden-Baden on a private jet?

Yes. The dog travels in the cabin with you. Germany asks for a microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, a vaccination given at 12 weeks or older with 21 days elapsed, and an Animal Health Certificate issued within ten days of entry. For the return to Britain a dog needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before landing. Cats are exempt from the treatment.
