Private jet charter in Biarritz

From the London fields it is about an hour and a half to Biarritz, and the harder question is which side of the Spanish border the wheels should touch down on. Private Jets UK builds the charter around that answer. 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. Biarritz Pays Basque has a 2,250 m runway with an instrument approach to runway 27, a terminal built for private and charter jets where border control is available on request, and Spain's small San Sebastián airport lies about 32 km down the road. The real decisions are the airport, the cabin size and the week you choose.

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 Biarritz 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 Biarritz?

1 hour 35 minutes from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, 2 hours 5 minutes from Edinburgh, and one hour of clock difference to allow for on arrival, because France keeps Central European time. At 467 to 783 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Biarritz is a comfortable light-jet sector from the south of England and a job for a bigger cabin from Scotland. The table gives the sector from each field.

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 Biarritz:

This is a small part of what is available. Biarritz sits between Bordeaux, Toulouse, Madrid and Paris, so a quote may name one of those cities as the positioning point for the aircraft. That is normal for a regional airport without a large based fleet, and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Biarritz

Four airports are worth discussing for a trip to the Basque coast, and a fifth, Bilbao, belongs to Spanish itineraries. Which one is right depends on where the programme is, not on the aircraft.

Four things to settle before a Biarritz landing:

Border, passport and the road to Spain

The first landing in the Schengen area is where the formalities happen. At Biarritz they are arranged through the terminal on request, and the French aeronautical information lists the police as available on prior notice, so we send the details with the flight plan. After that the frontier is easy: the road to San Sebastián runs south along the coast and there is normally no passport check on the way, although a temporary border control can be introduced at short notice, so carry the passports. For the return, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure.

From the apron to the Basque coast

Biarritz is a seaside town with an imperial past. The Hôtel du Palais began as the summer residence of Napoleon III, built in the middle of the nineteenth century, and is described as the only palace hotel on France's Atlantic coast. The surf arrived later and never left: the Côte des Basques is called the birthplace of European surfing, the Grande Plage is a family beach about 1.5 km long, and the pintxos bars of San Sebastián are within an hour's drive of the apron.

Flying to Biarritz with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Basque trip that needs planning, and the flight is the easy bit: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector of an hour and a half most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail that goes wrong, because the certificate is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU.

What an EU country such as France asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a travellers' point of entry, which we confirm in writing for the airport;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight, and our managers check the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Biarritz calendar: a surf town with a festival habit

Biarritz does not have one season but three. Summer fills the beaches, September fills the cinemas and the swell, and the winter belongs to big Atlantic waves and a quiet town. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Biarritz price down

• Move the dates by a few days where you can. The week after the Fêtes de Bayonne and the weeks between the summer festivals are calmer than the weekends themselves;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Paris, Bordeaux or Spain takes less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful part of the bill;
• Check whether Bordeaux works as well. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, the sector to Bordeaux is priced about £1,050 lower than the one to Biarritz. The saving is real but the road from Bordeaux to the coast takes two hours, so let the location of the programme decide.

Types of flights

Biarritz produces a different mix from the Alpine or the Italian destinations we cover, because it is a leisure coast with a Spanish city on its doorstep and a small business trade of its own.

• Surf and sport trips, with board bags and wetsuits in the hold, concentrated in the autumn swells and the long summer;
• Golf weekends and spa breaks, from the Biarritz Cup in July to the thalassotherapy centres near Miramar beach;
• Gastronomy weekends that include San Sebastián, often landing at Biarritz and driving across the border, with a dog or without;
• Villa holidays for families in July and August, typically from the south of England;
• Film and festival trips, with San Sebastián in September and the Latin American cinema week in Biarritz;
• Business trips and incentive groups, a morning in town and a lunch by the sea, plus onward hops to Bordeaux, Paris or Madrid.

The day trip is the one to look at closely. Land at about half past nine, leave at five in the afternoon local time and you are back on the British side by about half past five in the evening, UK time, with about seven and a half hours on the ground in between. 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. We quote it 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. Biarritz has no single event that creates them, so they come from the weekly rhythm of a leisure airport, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Basque 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 Biarritz match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Biarritz a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The town is small enough to cross by car, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the coast, the foothills of the Pyrenees inland and the link with a jet that lands somewhere else. Two operators are based in Biarritz, Biarritz Hélicoptère and Procoptère Aviation, offering flights over the valleys and coasts of the Basque Country, and the airport terminal arranges helicopter transfers on request.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for scenic and mountain work, the wider H130 for villa transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and the H155 for larger parties. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we're always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you'll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jets UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Biarritz in any convenient way:

• cashless (by transfer to our account);
• by cash;
• by card;
• by cryptocurrency.

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.
