Private jet charter in Billund

Billund is a small town in central Jutland with a runway of 3,101 m, and that mismatch explains most of what a charter client needs to know before flying there from London. Private Jets UK builds the charter around it. 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. Billund airport is open round the clock with customs and immigration on site, sits next to LEGOLAND, and has Aarhus, Aalborg, Copenhagen, Hamburg and Sonderborg as alternatives when the programme leads elsewhere. The real decisions are the handler, the arrival hour and the road from the apron to wherever in Jutland you are going.

 

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 Billund 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 London Stansted, 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 Billund?

About an hour and twenty minutes from London in a light jet, an hour and a half from the south coast and Bristol, and barely more from Edinburgh or Glasgow, with Denmark one hour ahead of Britain on arrival. At 406 to 517 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Billund is a light-jet sector from the south of England and a comfortable midsize job from the Midlands and the north. The table gives the sector from each field.

Door to door, and the clock on the wall

Leave a London airfield at seven in the morning and you are on the ground at Billund a little before half past nine local time. The runway is about 2 km from the town, so the road part of the journey is short if you are going to LEGOLAND or the LEGO House, and a long one only if the meeting is in Aarhus or on the west coast. Customs and immigration at Billund are listed as open round the clock, and the handlers on the field run lounges of their own, so an arrival at an odd hour is arranged with the handler in advance. A client who left a London office at half past six can be at a lunch table in Vejle or Kolding before one.

Light jet or midsize: how the choice usually goes on this route

– Up to four people with ordinary bags, take a light jet. An hour and twenty in a CJ3+ or a Phenom is short, and what you save against a midsize cabin pays for the car and the hotel;

– Past four, or a family with children, pushchairs and the luggage that comes with them, we quote a midsize alongside so that you see both figures. On this route the hold often decides before the seat count does, because a family trip to LEGOLAND travels heavy;

– A heavy jet earns its place when the party is large, when the same aircraft stays with you across several stops, or when Billund is the first leg of a longer journey. Runway length is not the issue: 3,101 m takes everything we send.

Private jet flights from Billund

Billund is a good base for short hops across Denmark and into northern Germany. Aarhus, Aalborg and Sonderborg are within a turboprop half hour, Copenhagen and Hamburg fit inside an hour, and Amsterdam, Berlin, Oslo and Stockholm are short business sectors beyond them. Typical one-way prices:

Onward from Billund: when the aircraft wins and when the car does

Aarhus Airport is 62 nautical miles from Billund, about 35 minutes in a Pilatus PC-12, but the airport lies some 40 km outside the city, so a flight saves less than the map suggests when the meeting is in the centre. Hamburg is 135 nautical miles, about 50 minutes in the same turboprop, against a long day on the motorway. Copenhagen is 123 nautical miles away on the far side of the Great Belt, about 50 minutes in the same aircraft, and that is where the flight beats the road by a clear margin. Denmark and Germany are both in the Schengen area, so the first landing carries the formalities and the hops after it are free of passport control.

Before you accept a Danish onward quote

– Which airport at the far end, and what it can do for you. Sonderborg has a runway of only 1,795 m and limited published hours, Copenhagen is a busy international hub, and handling and parking are checked before the quote is written, not after it;

– Whether the legs are one booking. Billund to Aarhus to Copenhagen and home over three days costs noticeably less arranged as one trip, because the aircraft and crew stay with you instead of returning to base between stops.

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

Turbopropsfrom £850/h
Small jet£1,700 - 2,500/h
Light jet£2,100 - 3,000/h

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 Billund:

 

Light jets, the usual choice for four or five people

At an hour and twenty to an hour and a half this is a short sector for a small party with ordinary luggage. Nothing here lacks the range, so the money is better spent on the car and the hotel than on a bigger cabin you will not fill.

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 families, pushchairs and a long weekend

The hold fills faster than the seats on a family trip to LEGOLAND: bags for children, a pushchair or two, and whatever comes home from the LEGO House shop.

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 team that wants to work in the air, a group travelling as one party, or a trip that carries on from Billund to Hamburg or Scandinavia. The 3,101 m runway takes all of these without restriction.

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 hops inside Denmark and across to northern Germany: Aarhus, Aalborg, Sonderborg and Hamburg are about an hour or less in the air, and the saving over a jet on those distances 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 factory or a country house in Jutland, the west coast and the Wadden Sea, or a sightseeing loop away from the town. Where a helicopter may land 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. Billund sits among Aarhus, Aalborg, Copenhagen and Hamburg, so there is often an aircraft within an hour of the airport, and a quote may name one of those cities as the positioning point. That is normal for a regional field with a small based fleet, and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Billund

One airport carries most trips to this part of Denmark, and five more matter when the programme leaves Jutland or the meeting is somewhere else. Which one is right depends on where the meeting is, not on the aircraft.

Airport What it gives you
Billund
BLL / EKBI
The answer for LEGOLAND, the LEGO House, the Billund companies and anything between Vejle, Kolding, Herning and the west coast. About 2 km from the town, with a single asphalt runway of 3,101 m by 45 m (09/27), approaches to Category III on both ends, and Jet A-1 as the only fuel. Customs and immigration are listed as available round the clock. Private flights are handled by one of the fixed-base operators on the field, among them JoinJet, Blackbird Air with a private terminal called The Nest, and ClearWay Handling, and visiting aircraft that need a hangar are placed through those operators. De-icing is available on the northern apron from 1 October to 30 April
Aarhus
AAR / EKAH
The second-city alternative, about 36 km north-east of Aarhus in a straight line and roughly 40 km by road, with two runways of 2,777 m and 2,702 m. It is the choice when the meeting is in Aarhus, or on the Djursland peninsula, and it saves the better part of an hour of driving against Billund. It has far less private-aviation infrastructure than Billund, so handling and parking are confirmed before the quote
Aalborg
AAL / EKYT
The northern Jutland alternative, about 6.5 km north-west of Aalborg, with parallel runways of 2,654 m and 2,549 m. It lies roughly 160 km from Billund in a straight line. Choose it when the meeting is in Aalborg or on the Limfjord, and not as a substitute for Billund
Copenhagen
CPH / EKCH
The capital, about 8 km south of the city centre, with three runways of 3,600 m, 3,300 m and 2,800 m and a VIP terminal in the oldest building on the airfield. It is the airport for Copenhagen and for the Roskilde Festival, and for meetings on Zealand or in Malmö. It is a busy international hub, and for a Jutland programme it is the wrong end of the country
Hamburg
HAM / EDDH
The northern German alternative, about 8 km north of the city, with runways of 3,250 m and 3,666 m. It is the field for Hamburg business and port meetings, and for a client who flies from Britain to Hamburg and drives or flies on to Jutland. It is across the Danish-German border and about 250 km from Billund in a straight line
Sonderborg
SGD / EKSB
The southern Jutland alternative, about 3 NM north of Sonderborg, with a single runway of 1,795 m by 30 m. That is enough for light jets and many midsize types but not for heavy ones, published hours are limited, and customs and immigration need one hour's notice. Use it for Sonderborg and the island of Als, and always after checking the aircraft type

 

Four things to settle before a Billund landing:

The handler and its services

The published procedures require business flights, taxi flights and general aviation to obtain prior permission through a fixed-base operator, and all operators to arrange handling or parking with a handler in advance. We pick the handler by what the aircraft needs: a lounge for the party, a hangar for the night, crew rest, catering. Fuel is Jet A-1 only and is paid by fuel carnet, which the handler sets up.

Hours, slots and permits

The airport, its customs and immigration are listed as open round the clock. The published procedures say that aircraft above 3,500 kg need slot coordination through Airport Coordination Denmark, which we arrange together with the handler. A British operator running a charter also needs an EASA third-country operator authorisation and an operating authorisation from the Danish Transport Authority, which we track for you.

Border and passport

Denmark is in Schengen and Britain is not, so you clear passport control and customs on arrival at Billund. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport less than ten years old and valid for three months beyond departure. A first-time visitor may be asked to register a photograph and fingerprints at the EU border system, which is free.

Car and late nights

Tell us the handler as well as the flight, so that the driver waits at the right door. The town is about 2 km away and LEGOLAND next to the airfield. Night movements are restricted: a take-off between 23:00 and 06:00 local time needs advance approval from the airport, and landings on runway 09 are avoided between 22:00 and 07:00 when runway 27 is in use.

 

business aviation

 

Border, passport and the road to Germany

The first landing in the Schengen area is where the formalities happen, and Billund is a good place for them: customs and immigration are on the airfield, open round the clock, and the handler knows the aircraft in advance. After that the border is invisible. Denmark is a full member of the Schengen area, so a flight on to Hamburg or Berlin needs no further passport control, and the drive south to Germany is the same, although temporary checks can be reintroduced at internal borders and a car can still be stopped for a document check. For the return, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure. Carry your passport at hotel check-in, and keep the aircraft paperwork with the crew.

From the apron to LEGOLAND

Billund is the home of the LEGO Group, and LEGOLAND stands next to the original LEGO factory and the airport. Around that core lies a flat green landscape of farms, forest and small industrial towns, with the Wadden Sea coast to the west and the harbour city of Aarhus to the east. What matters to a private client is what lies within a morning of the runway: the shops and museums of Vejle and Kolding, the trade-fair halls of Herning, the old streets of Ribe and the beaches beyond Esbjerg.

Flying to Billund with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Danish trip that needs planning, and the flight is the easy bit: the animal normally travels in the cabin with you, and on a sector of under 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.

 

private flight with animals

 

What an EU country such as Denmark 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 after the first vaccination 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;
  • Entry through a travellers' point of entry. Denmark has three, and Billund is one of them, together with Copenhagen and Aalborg, where customs carries out documentary and identity checks on behalf of the Danish veterinary authority. No more than five animals may travel with one person;
  • 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.

What catches owners out on the Billund run

– Denmark does not ask for tapeworm treatment on the way in, only Britain asks for it on the way home, so it is a vet appointment you book in Jutland towards the end of the stay. Count back from the departure time, because the window is 24 to 120 hours and a flight that moves by a day can move the window out of reach;

– The order of the chip and the vaccine matters. A vaccination given before the microchip does not count, and an animal that arrives without the right paperwork can be refused, so the certificate is checked line by line before the flight, not at the airport;

– Some breeds are banned. Denmark prohibits keeping and importing 13 dog breeds, among them the Pit Bull Terrier, Tosa Inu, American Staffordshire Terrier, Fila Brasileiro and Dogo Argentino, and the rule applies to tourists and to crosses, so tell us the breed when you ask for the quote, not afterwards. On the beaches a dog must be on a lead from April to September, and in forests all year.

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 Billund calendar: a theme-park town with a trade-fair neighbour

Billund has a family season built around LEGOLAND and a business year built around the companies and fairs of central Jutland, and the festivals of the east coast pull travellers through the same airport. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Spring to autumn
LEGOLAND is a seasonal park, open on a calendar that the park publishes and changes, with the longest days in summer. Family bookings follow the school holidays and arrive in the same weeks, so hotels and cars are the first constraint, not the aircraft
Late June and early July
Roskilde Festival, a week of music in late June and early July with more than 130,000 visitors. Roskilde is on Zealand, on the far side of the Great Belt, so a party for the festival flies to Copenhagen and not to Billund
August
Smukfest, a week-long music festival in a beech forest near Skanderborg, held around the second weekend of August, with about 60,000 people. Skanderborg is on the east side of Jutland, so Billund or Aarhus are the airports, and the choice depends on the hotel
Late August and September
Aarhus Festuge, ten days of culture and some 1,000 events in the last week of August and the first of September. A city break rather than a corporate week, with Aarhus as the hotel base and a transfer from either airport
October
Halloween at LEGOLAND, running to the start of November, and Halloween activities at the LEGO House from late September. The park is quieter than in July and easier for families with young children, but the weekends fill
Through the year
Herning, about 46 km from the airfield, has the largest exhibition centre in Scandinavia, MCH Messecenter Herning, and the Jyske Bank Boxen arena for concerts and sport. Trade-fair visitors travel in small groups on fixed dates, and the exhibition calendar is set by the centre
Late November to December
Christmas at LEGOLAND, with dates set by the park, and the Christmas markets of the Jutland towns. Small family parties, often with young children, and a short stay

Why a school-holiday week costs more

Not the flying. The European light and midsize fleet is large and Billund is well placed in it. What gets tight in a busy week is the number of good cars and rooms near the park and the airfield, and the parking positions that the handlers can offer. A booking made two weeks before a summer holiday week can still be done, but it may mean an aircraft positioned from Aarhus, Copenhagen or Hamburg, and that costs more. The same booking made four or five weeks earlier is simpler and cheaper. Outside the school holidays Billund is one of the easier regional airports to fly into, and a charter can usually be arranged in a day or two.

 

Ways to bring the Billund price down

  • Move the dates by a few days where you can. The weeks outside the school holidays, and the weekdays in October, are calmer than the weekends themselves;
  • Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Aarhus, Copenhagen or Hamburg 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 another field works as well. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, the sector to Esbjerg is priced about £300 lower than the one to Billund, Hamburg about £400 lower and Sonderborg about £100 lower, while Aarhus is about £700 higher and Aalborg about £800 higher. The differences are small, so let the location of the meeting decide and not the price.

 

Types of flights

Billund produces a different mix from the city and resort destinations we cover, because it is a theme-park town and a regional business gateway at the same time, with a runway that is much longer than the town would justify.

  • Family trips to LEGOLAND and the LEGO House, usually four to eight people with children and a lot of luggage, often one night or two;
  • Business visits to the companies of the region: the LEGO Group in Billund, Vestas, whose headquarters is in Aarhus, and Danish Crown, headquartered in Randers with plants at Herning, Horsens and Kolding;
  • Trade fairs and concerts in Herning, with delegations arriving in small groups on dates the exhibition centre sets;
  • Offshore and energy business in Esbjerg, the North Sea port through which about 65 per cent of Danish wind turbines are shipped, and a visit to the Wadden Sea coast and the old streets of Ribe;
  • Hamburg business trips, with Billund as the Jutland leg of a longer loop through northern Germany;
  • Hops to Aarhus, Aalborg and Copenhagen inside a longer Scandinavian programme.

The day trip is the one to look at closely. Land a little before half past nine, leave at five in the afternoon local time and you are on the British side again shortly after half past five in the evening, UK time, with 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. Billund does not have a single event that creates them, so they come from the pattern of family travel and neighbouring airports, and it helps to know what produces them.

Where Billund empty legs come from

– School-holiday changeovers. Families arrive on a Friday or Saturday and the aircraft goes home empty, which produces an outbound leg on the same day;

– Business trips to the region. Aircraft that take a team to Aarhus, Herning or Esbjerg sometimes reposition through Billund, and a leg towards Britain from there is one that can be offered;

– Festival weekends. Operators moving aircraft to and from Aarhus, Copenhagen and Hamburg put short legs on the market, and those short hops can be cheap.

Because the Danish 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 Billund match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Jutland a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The towns are small, the roads are good and the country is flat, so the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the west coast, the Wadden Sea and the distance to Aarhus. Overflying the town of Billund is to be avoided whenever possible under the airport procedures, so a sightseeing loop is planned away from it.

Billund to Aarhus
45 nm in a straight line, against about an hour and ten minutes on the motorway
about 31 minutes
Billund to Herning
26 nm in a straight line to the exhibition centre, against about fifty minutes by car
about 22 minutes
Billund to Ribe
29 nm in a straight line to the oldest town in Denmark and the Wadden Sea Centre beyond it
about 23 minutes
Billund to Esbjerg
30 nm in a straight line to the North Sea port and the ferry to the island of Fanø
about 24 minutes

Before you plan around a helicopter

– A helicopter cannot land wherever it likes. A landing away from an aerodrome needs an agreed site and the landowner's consent, so we check the status of a hotel lawn or a field before the quote is written, not after it, and in a national park such as the Wadden Sea the park rules come first;

– Weather sets the schedule. Fog, low cloud and the wind off the North Sea 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;

– A flight across the border into Germany means a second set of permissions. Tell us the landing site at the other end when you ask for the quote, and book the helicopter together with the jet.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for scenic work, the wider H130 for country-house and hotel 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.

Billund 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.

DAY TRIP · OUT AND BACK

A morning meeting near Billund and home for dinner

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

Wheels up at seven, on the ground a little before half past nine local time, in the meeting by eleven and back at Biggin Hill in the early evening. The aircraft and crew waited at the handler's lounge rather than going home, which is a real line in the quote and still comes in below two separate one-way charters. A long day, and it works.

TRADE FAIR · FIXED DATES

A buying team for an exhibition in Herning

London Luton - Billund, Citation XLS+, about 1 h 20 min · 8 pax

The dates were set by the fair and not by the client. Eight people, laptops, sample cases and a request for two cars to meet the aircraft. The booking went in three weeks ahead, the handler pre-arranged the passport check, and nothing needed explaining on the day.

FAMILY WEEKEND · LEGOLAND

Two parents, three children and the luggage

Farnborough - Billund, Phenom 300E, about 1 h 25 min · 6 pax

They were choosing between Billund and Aarhus. Aarhus is the bigger city, but the party wanted the park and the LEGO House and nothing else, so we quoted Billund, with the car waiting at the handler's door for the few minutes to the hotel. The question that settled it was what the weekend was for.

THE HAMBURG LOOP · TWO STOPS

Billund first, northern Germany second

Biggin Hill - Billund, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 25 min · 4 pax

The party wanted two meetings in Jutland and then a day in Hamburg. We kept one aircraft for the whole trip, moved on from Billund to Hamburg by jet in under an hour and returned from there, and the total came in below two separate charters. A single quote for all the legs is what made it work.

A DOG ON BOARD · FAMILY BREAK

Four adults and a spaniel for a long weekend

Southampton - Billund, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 35 min · 4 pax + dog

The Animal Health Certificate had to be dated inside ten days of arrival, and the vet appointment in Jutland for the tapeworm treatment had to fall between 24 and 120 hours before the flight home. Billund is one of the three Danish points of entry for pets, so the animal was checked on landing. We booked both with the aircraft and settled the whole thing in a single exchange of messages rather than three.

EMPTY LEG · SUNDAY EVENING WEST

A jet already going your way

Billund - London Luton, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 1 h 20 min · 3 pax

The aircraft had brought a family 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 evening departure to the London fields.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Billund

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

About 1 hour 20 minutes from Stansted, 1 hour 25 minutes from London City and Biggin Hill in a light jet, and around 1 hour 20 minutes from Luton in a Phenom, covering roughly 407 to 462 nautical miles. From Manchester or Birmingham allow about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, from Southampton or Bristol 1 hour 35 minutes, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. Denmark is one hour ahead of Britain, so a seven o'clock departure lands a little before half past nine local time.

2How much does a private jet to Billund cost?

From about £6,450 one way on a light jet out of Stansted, £6,700 to £6,800 from London City or Biggin Hill, and £6,750 to £7,150 in a Phenom from Luton or Farnborough. A midsize cabin runs £8,500 to £9,600 from Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol, and from Scotland allow £10,500 to £11,250. School-holiday weeks and the Halloween weeks can price above these figures.

3Which airport should a private jet use, Billund, Aarhus, Aalborg or Copenhagen?

Billund (BLL / EKBI) for LEGOLAND, the LEGO House and central Jutland. It has a 3,101 m runway and customs and immigration listed as open round the clock. Aarhus (AAR / EKAH) suits meetings in Aarhus and on Djursland, and on the same light jet from Biggin Hill it is priced about £700 higher. Aalborg (AAL / EKYT) serves northern Jutland, and Copenhagen (CPH / EKCH) is the airport for Zealand and the Roskilde Festival. Hamburg (HAM / EDDH) and Sonderborg (SGD / EKSB) cover northern Germany and the south of Jutland.

4Do I need a visa or customs clearance for Billund?

Britain is outside Schengen and Denmark is inside it, so you clear passport control and customs on arrival at Billund, where both are listed as available round the clock. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport less than ten years old and valid for three months beyond departure. A British operator running a charter also needs an EASA third-country operator authorisation and an operating authorisation from the Danish Transport Authority, and we track both together with the aircraft paperwork.

5Can I land at night, and how far are LEGOLAND, Herning and Ribe?

The airport is listed as open round the clock, but a take-off between 23:00 and 06:00 local time needs advance approval from the airport, so a late departure is agreed beforehand. LEGOLAND stands next to the airfield, a few minutes by car. Herning is about 46 km away in a straight line, typically 50 minutes by road, Ribe about 52 km and Esbjerg about 53 km, typically an hour, and Aarhus about 80 km, typically an hour and ten minutes. A helicopter covers Ribe in about 23 minutes if the landing site is agreed first.

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

Normally yes, in the cabin, which we confirm with the operator in advance. An EU country such as Denmark asks for a microchip fitted before or with the rabies vaccination, a vaccination given at 12 weeks or older and at least 21 days old, and an Animal Health Certificate valid for ten days for entry. A British pet passport cannot be used, and the animal must enter through one of the three Danish points of entry, of which Billund is one. Denmark does not ask for a tapeworm treatment on the way in, but a dog needs one from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arriving back in Britain. Cats are exempt from the treatment, and 13 dog breeds are banned in Denmark.
