Private jet charter to Megeve

London to Megeve is ninety minutes on a light jet, and the aeroplane taken whole comes from 7,600 GBP one way. Megeve has an altiport of its own, five kilometres from the village at 1,472 metres, and in the ski season no aeroplane lands on it: the strip is groomed as packed snow rather than cleared, which suits skis and helicopters and rules out everything else until the spring. Jets therefore arrive at Geneva, an hour and ten minutes away by road and twenty minutes by helicopter onto that same altiport, which is why the rotary leg here is ordinary practice rather than an indulgence. Our customers have access to 6500 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, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable 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. The aircraft that serve this run sit around Geneva, Nice, Paris and the London fields, so positioning is seldom the constraint. What we settle before quoting is the second leg, because in February the helicopters into this valley are spoken for well before the jets are.

 

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 Megeve 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. The basis for it is a Luton departure, an Embraer Phenom 300E and two passengers. 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 Megeve?

An hour and a half from the London fields, and a little over two from Scotland. These are block figures with taxi and approach counted in rather than airborne minutes. Every route below is measured to Geneva, LSGG, since that is where the aeroplane actually stops.

Route Aircraft Flying time Routing

Embraer Legacy 600 about 2 h 10 min Nonstop

 

Geneva itself asks nothing unusual of the aircraft, and the variable on this route sits above the valley rather than at the airport. Mountain weather closes the helicopter before it closes anything else, so a booking made properly carries a car held in reserve from the outset. That is not pessimism; on a January afternoon it is simply how the day is planned.

Two things that move the price on this route

The first is that the journey has two halves and only one of them is in the table above. Geneva to the altiport is a separate charter, priced by the machine and the season, and in the peak fortnights it is the harder of the two to secure. Quoting the jet without it is how a figure ends up looking competitive and then growing, so we set out both from the start and let you decide whether the second leg is worth having.

The second is the calendar, which on this valley is unusually sharp. Christmas, New Year and February half term take the helicopters first and the aircraft second, and a booking made in the autumn costs materially less than the identical trip arranged in December. Outside those weeks a repositioning flight already heading into the Alps appears on our empty legs list at a fraction of the charter rate.

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

Two things worth knowing about these sectors

– Every one of these lands at Geneva rather than in the valley, so the helicopter or the car sits on top of the figure shown. On the shorter sectors that second leg can cost a noticeable share of the whole, which is worth knowing before comparing quotes;

– Switzerland is outside the European Union but inside Schengen, and Megeve is in France. A transfer from Geneva into the valley therefore crosses a customs frontier without an immigration one, and it is handled at the airport rather than on the road.

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

Hourly rates show what the aircraft itself contributes on the first leg. The list runs from the least expensive upwards, and Geneva places no restriction on any of it, which is one of the reasons the jets stop there rather than trying to get closer.

Light jet (Citation M2, Citation CJ2+)2,300 - 2,900 GBP/h
Midsize (Phenom 300E, Citation XLS+)3,200 - 3,900 GBP/h
Super-midsize (Challenger 350, Praetor 600)4,800 - 5,700 GBP/h
Heavy (Legacy 600, Falcon 900LX)5,500 - 6,900 GBP/h
Ultra-long range (Global 6000, Gulfstream G650)from 8,500 GBP/h

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6500 business jets of different configurations and production years, and the list is constantly updated. The four groups below cover the first leg into Geneva, which is the half of the journey the aeroplane does.

 

Light jets

The value answer from the south of England on a sector of ninety minutes, and the class behind the lowest figures in the table. Six seats, and once skis are in the hold it is baggage rather than seats that runs out first.

Cessna Citation M2 · 6 seatsfrom 2,300 GBP/h
Cessna Citation CJ2+ · 6 seatsfrom 2,600 GBP/h

Midsize

The most quoted band for this valley. Eight or nine seats, a stand-up cabin and hold volume for the skis that go with them, which is what a family taking a chalet for the week actually needs rather than what looks sufficient on paper.

Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom 3,200 GBP/h
Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom 3,400 GBP/h

Super-midsize

Where the northern departures land, and the choice when the party wants to work rather than watch the Alps go past. Nine seats with the range in hand from anywhere in Britain.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom 4,800 GBP/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom 5,300 GBP/h

 

online private jet directory

 

Heavy and beyond

For thirteen travelling as one party from Scotland or Belfast, and for anyone whose itinerary continues well beyond the Alps. Geneva takes all of it without qualification, and one arrival is simpler in a busy ski week than two.

Embraer Legacy 600 · 13 seatsfrom 5,500 GBP/h
Dassault Falcon 900LX · 12 seatsfrom 6,400 GBP/h
Bombardier Global 6000 · 13 seatsfrom 8,500 GBP/h

 

These are examples rather than the whole catalogue. Since Geneva accepts every class without argument, the first leg is decided by your party alone; the second is the one that needs thought.

Business aviation airports in Megeve

Megeve is one of a handful of resorts anywhere with an airfield of its own inside the village boundary, and one of fewer still where that airfield is useless to an aeroplane for the whole of the ski season. The panel sets out the altiport; the note underneath explains why the jets stop an hour away instead.

The altiportMegeve (MVV / LFHM), five kilometres south east of the village
Elevation1,472 metres, or 4,830 feet, in the Mont d'Arbois valley
Runway15/33, paved and sloping; the French AIP gives 434 metres
Traffic rulesVisual flight rules only, with no instrument approach
Winter surfaceGroomed as packed snow rather than cleared, so no aeroplanes land
Winter trafficHelicopters, which operate to it throughout the season
Fixed-wing seasonRoughly April to November, once the snow is off the strip
Crew requirementA mountain qualification, as at Courchevel and Meribel
FuelNone available on the field
The jet airportGeneva (GVA / LSGG), an hour and ten minutes away by road
By helicopter from GenevaAbout twenty minutes, landing at the altiport itself

 

Why the airfield with the village's name takes no aeroplanes in winter

Most Alpine altiports are difficult. Megeve's is closed to fixed-wing traffic altogether through the ski months, and for a reason that has nothing to do with the terrain. The runway is not cleared of snow; it is groomed and rolled, which makes an excellent surface for skis and helicopter skids and an impossible one for wheels. Operators who hold a Megeve rating on a Pilatus can use it from about April to November and not before. Add visual flight rules only, no instrument approach, no fuel on the field and a mountain qualification for the crew, and the picture is complete.

None of that is a problem, because the helicopter fills the gap so neatly. Twenty minutes from the Geneva ramp puts you on the altiport a few minutes from the hotels, against an hour and ten on a road that in February carries every changeover in the Arve valley. What it does mean is that anyone quoting you a jet into Megeve itself has misread the chart, and that the second leg deserves as much attention in the booking as the first.

 

business aviation

 

The airports that actually take the jet, and when each suits:

Field When it is the better arrival
Geneva
GVA / LSGG, the default
The deepest choice of aircraft in the Alps at short notice, every category handled, and the base for most of the helicopters that serve this valley. An hour and ten by road, twenty minutes in the air, and the right answer in almost every case
Annecy
NCY / LFLP, 18 nm from Geneva
Closer to Megeve than Geneva by road, at about fifty minutes, and a pleasant small field. Its runway and hours suit light and midsize aircraft rather than a heavy cabin, and the choice of machines at short notice is far narrower
Chambery
CMF / LFLB, 37 nm from Geneva
The Tarentaise gateway rather than this one. It sits about an hour and a half from Megeve and runs on winter slots, so it earns a look only when Geneva is genuinely full
Lyon Saint-Exupery
LYS / LFLL, 53 nm from Geneva
A full international airport operating around the clock and the answer for a very large aircraft or an arrival after Geneva's business traffic has thinned. Two and a half hours by road, or fifty minutes by helicopter

 

Three practical points

– Book the helicopter when you book the jet, not afterwards. In the Christmas and February weeks the machines in this valley are committed months ahead, and the aeroplane is the easier half of the arrangement to find;

– Switzerland is outside the European Union but inside Schengen, and Megeve is in France. The customs formality is handled at Geneva rather than on the road or at the altiport, and your handling agent lodges it with the flight plan;

– Ask what happens if the weather closes the second leg. Our answer is that the car is already booked and costs little to hold; a quote that has no answer at all is worth a second look.

 

You are received in the business aviation terminal rather than the main building, and thirty minutes before wheels-up covers everything. What our consultants pin down against your date is the onward leg into the valley and who is flying it.

 

From the apron into the valley

The road from Geneva runs on motorway as far as Sallanches and then climbs, which is the stretch that lengthens in bad weather and on changeover days. The figures below are clear-road times.

Sallanches
where the motorway ends and the climb begins
about 55 minutes
Combloux
the quieter neighbour on the same hillside
about 1 h 05 min
Megeve village
the medieval centre and the Place de l'Eglise
about 1 h 10 min
Saint-Gervais and Le Bettex
across the valley, on the Mont Blanc side
about 1 h 15 min
Megeve altiport
five kilometres beyond the village, up the Mont d'Arbois road
about 1 h 20 min
Chamonix
further up the Arve, under the massif itself
about 1 h 30 min
Annecy
west over the Col des Aravis or round by the motorway
about 1 h 30 min
Courmayeur
through the Mont Blanc tunnel into Italy
about 2 h 00 min

 

Twenty minutes against seventy, and when the difference is real

On a clear Tuesday in March the road is pleasant and the helicopter saves fifty minutes for a sum most clients would rather spend on lunch. The case changes entirely on the last Saturday of December, when the same road carries the changeover for Megeve, Combloux, Saint-Gervais and Chamonix at once and an hour and ten becomes two and a half with no way of knowing in advance. That is the day the twenty minutes is worth what it costs, and it is also the day it is hardest to book.

The other consideration is where you are staying. Megeve spreads up the Mont d'Arbois hillside, and the altiport sits above the village rather than below it, so a helicopter arrival puts you closer to the higher chalets than a car coming up from Sallanches does. Tell us the address and we will say honestly which of the two lands nearer.

 

Helicopter transfers into Megeve

This is the one destination on our list where the helicopter is part of the standard arrangement rather than an upgrade, because the altiport is built for it and takes rotary traffic all winter. The times below are flying minutes from the Geneva ramp unless stated.

Megeve altiport, from Genevaabout 20 minutes
Chamonixabout 20 minutes
Courchevel altiportabout 25 minutes
Val d'Isere and Tignesabout 30 minutes
Verbierabout 30 minutes
Gstaadabout 30 minutes
Zermattabout 35 minutes
Megeve altiport, from Lyonabout 50 minutes

 

The machines, and the two things that stop them

A light single such as the Airbus H125 carries four with ski bags and is the workhorse of this corridor. An H130 seats up to six in a quieter cabin and is what most families end up on. A twin, whether an H135 or a Bell 429, carries six or seven with better performance in marginal conditions and is what we put on an evening movement or a crossing into Italy.

Two things stop a rotary leg and neither is negotiable. Mountain weather closes the valley well before it closes the motorway, so the car stays on the booking as insurance rather than as an afterthought. And the altiport works in daylight only, which in late December means the middle of the afternoon; a flight landing at Geneva at four o'clock on the shortest day of the year is going up the road whatever anyone has promised.

 

Flying to Megeve with a dog or a cat

France asks little of a visiting dog and Britain rather more of one coming home, which is the usual pattern. What is particular to this trip is the second leg: the animal has to get from Geneva into the valley as well, and the two ways of doing it are not equally simple.

The certificate, and the helicopter question

A British resident travels on an Animal Health Certificate signed by an official veterinarian within the ten days before departure, covering one outward journey. It cannot be obtained early and it cannot be reused, so a family taking the same dog out at Christmas and again in February needs two. Once the animal is lawfully inside the Schengen area the crossing from Switzerland into France needs nothing further. The practical question is the second leg: most helicopter operators will carry a dog, but not all of them, and the cabins are small. Tell us at the enquiry rather than at the ramp and we will match the machine to the animal.

 

What France asks for on the way in:

  • A chip to the international standard, in place before the rabies injection rather than after it. In the wrong order the injection is disregarded and the sequence starts again;
  • Rabies cover with twenty-one clear days behind it, from twelve weeks of age upwards. A booster inside the validity of the previous course works from the day it is given;
  • The certificate itself, signed within ten days of the outward flight and issued in English alongside French;
  • Nothing further at the border in either direction. Neither Switzerland nor France asks for a worming or tick treatment on the way in;
  • For the journey home, a praziquantel dose from a vet between one and five days before you land in Britain, with the hour recorded on the certificate. Dogs only, and it is arranged in the valley rather than before you set out.

 

Cats and ferrets are outside the worming requirement in both directions and need only the chip, the injection and the certificate. Five animals per party is the ceiling unless the trip is to a recognised show and the entry paperwork proves it.

 

Veterinary surgery at the altiportNone, and none at Geneva either
Practices near the resortIn Megeve itself and in Sallanches, both within twenty minutes
Carrying a dog by helicopterPossible with most operators, arranged at the enquiry stage
Timing of the wormingSet by your arrival back in Britain, given by a vet in France
Restrictions on the animalNone on the jet, where it travels in the cabin beside you

 

Ninety minutes on the first leg and twenty on the second, with no hold and no crate at any point, is about as gentle a way into the Alps as exists. The wider rules sit on our travel with pets page. On this route two items want planning: the certificate, which governs your dates, and the helicopter, which governs whether the animal makes the last twenty minutes with you.

 

The Megeve season

Megeve has a winter that fills completely and a summer that a good many people prefer, and the airport and the valley behave quite differently across the two.

When the valley is busy, and what it means for a booking

– The fortnight spanning Christmas and New Year, when the helicopters go first and the jets second. This is the period in which a late enquiry ends up on the road whatever it pays;

– February half term, the heaviest British fortnight of the Alpine year, and the point at which arriving on a Friday or a Sunday is worth real money against a Saturday;

– Any Saturday from January to March, when the climb from Sallanches carries four resorts at once and the road time stops being predictable;

– Late spring through to autumn, once the altiport is open to aeroplanes again, when the Mont Blanc massif is at its best and the valley is quiet enough that both legs are a formality.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

  1. private flights;
  2. corporate flights;
  3. business class flights;
  4. concert tours;
  5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
  6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
  7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
  8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
  9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
  10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). That holds for the jet, since Geneva is well supplied at almost any notice. It does not hold for the helicopter into the valley, which in the peak weeks is committed months rather than days ahead, so an urgent booking in February usually means the road.

 

private flight with animals

 

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way. The Alps generate a great many through the season, because an aircraft that has delivered one party to Geneva on a Saturday morning is wanted elsewhere long before that party skis home. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

  • All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
  • You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
  • No baggage restrictions;
  • Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
  • Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

Helicopter charter

Rotary aircraft are available throughout the Mont Blanc and Tarentaise valleys. You board on the Geneva ramp within a few paces of the jet, and where the type you want is based up the valley we bring it down to meet you.

The types that suit this region, and the job each one does:

  • Airbus H125, four passengers with luggage, the least costly way off the ramp and enough for the run up to the altiport with four aboard and ski bags;
  • Airbus H130, up to six seats, the quieter cabin on the same single-engine airframe and the usual family choice;
  • Airbus H135 or Bell 429, six or seven seats, twin-engined, better in marginal weather and what we put on a late movement;
  • Agusta AW109, six seats, quicker again and the choice when the day takes in two or three valleys.

 

Availability shifts week to week, and the July fortnight commits furthest ahead. Please contact our aviation consultants for the current position on a particular model and date.

Megeve charters we have flown: six trips from the booking notes

Drawn from what we have flown into this valley. Initials stand in for surnames and small details differ from the originals, so no client can be picked out. Each is here because something about Megeve rather than about chartering decided it.

ALTIPORT · A QUOTE THAT COULD NOT FLY

Mr G. V.: a jet booked into a snow runway

London Farnborough to Megeve, Citation CJ2+, 1 h 35 min · 5 passengers

He arrived holding a quotation that named the Megeve altiport as the arrival, in February, on a Citation. The strip is groomed snow at that time of year and takes no aeroplane at all, so the flight simply could not have happened as written. We moved the arrival to Geneva and added a helicopter. The total came out higher than the quote he had and lower than the quote he would have been given on the morning it failed.

HELICOPTER · BOOKED TOO LATE

A family of six: the machine that was already committed

London Luton to Megeve, Phenom 300E, 1 h 35 min · 6 passengers

They came to us in the first week of December for the twenty-eighth. The aeroplane was straightforward; every suitable helicopter in the corridor had been taken since September. They drove up, it took two hours and twenty minutes on a changeover Saturday, and they booked the following year in August. On this valley the rotary leg is the scarce half, not the jet.

SUMMER · ONTO THE ALTIPORT

A property owner: the only trip that landed in the village

London Biggin Hill to Megeve altiport, Pilatus PC-12 · 4 passengers

September, with the snow long gone and the strip open to aeroplanes. The operator held the mountain qualification the altiport requires, the weather was settled and the aircraft landed five kilometres from his house. There is no fuel on the field, so the return was planned round a stop at Annecy. It works beautifully for four months of the year and not at all for the other eight.

WEATHER · CAR HELD IN RESERVE

A Scottish party: cloud in the valley and a plan already in place

Edinburgh to Megeve, Legacy 600, 2 h 10 min · 11 passengers

Low cloud on the Mont d'Arbois side with the helicopters grounded from mid-morning. The cars had been held from the outset at a cost of very little, so the party left Geneva forty minutes after landing and reached the chalet in daylight. Holding a road transfer that is probably not needed is the cheapest insurance on this route.

DAYLIGHT · THE SHORTEST WEEK

Mrs A. B.: an afternoon arrival in late December

Manchester to Megeve, Citation XLS+, 1 h 50 min · 7 passengers

The jet was due into Geneva at half past three, which in the last week of December leaves nothing for a rotary leg into a mountain valley. We said so when the booking was made and moved the departure two hours earlier. Had we not, the helicopter would have been cancelled on the day and the road would have been dark as well as slow.

DOG · THE SECOND LEG

Mr and Mrs D.: the labrador that needed a bigger cabin

London City to Megeve, Citation CJ2+, 1 h 30 min · 4 passengers and a labrador

No difficulty on the jet, where the dog travelled beside them. The helicopter was another matter, because not every operator in the corridor carries animals and the cabins are small. We found a twin that would take all of them and the dog together. Raised at the enquiry it is a detail; raised at the ramp it is a problem.

 

Megeve and the Mont Blanc valleys: destination overview

Megeve was made rather than found. The Rothschild family built it in the nineteen twenties as a French answer to St Moritz, and the result is a genuine Savoyard village with cobbled streets, horse-drawn sleighs and no high-rise anywhere, wrapped around a medieval church square. Around four thousand people live there year round. It sits at 1,100 metres on the western flank of the Mont Blanc massif, with the mountain filling the view from most of the south-facing terraces.

 

Where to stay

The village centre is where most visitors want to be, close to the church square and the shops on the rue Charles Feige. Above it, the Mont d'Arbois hillside carries the grandest hotels and chalets, along with the altiport, and puts you on the snow rather than a shuttle ride from it. Combloux and Saint-Gervais on the neighbouring slopes are quieter and cheaper on the same lift network, and Saint-Gervais has the better view of Mont Blanc if that is the point of the trip.

 

What to do

The skiing is broad rather than steep, which is the honest description: four hundred kilometres of piste across the Evasion Mont Blanc area, mostly tree-lined and gentle, and better for a mixed party than for an expert. What Megeve has instead of gradient is everything else. The restaurant list is the strongest in the French Alps, the sleigh rides through the village are not a tourist invention, and the view of the massif from the Mont d'Arbois lifts is among the finest in Europe. In summer the same slopes carry walkers and the golf course on Mont d'Arbois opens.

 

When it is busy

Christmas, New Year and February half term fill the village completely and the helicopters before them. March gives long days with the snow still good on the higher runs. July and August are quiet, green and considerably cheaper, and fall inside the months when the altiport takes aeroplanes.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Megeve

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

About 1 hour 30 from Biggin Hill and 1 hour 35 from London City, Farnborough or Luton, over a distance of 389 to 423 nautical miles to Geneva. Allow around 1 hour 45 from Birmingham, 1 hour 50 from Manchester and about 2 hours 10 from Edinburgh or Glasgow. To any of those add twenty minutes by helicopter or an hour and ten by road into the valley.

2How much does a private jet to Megeve cost?

From about 7,600 GBP one way out of Biggin Hill and 7,900 GBP from Farnborough on a light jet. Luton runs around 9,300 GBP on an eight-seat Phenom, Birmingham 11,400 GBP and Manchester 12,300 GBP on a nine-seat Citation XLS+, and Edinburgh 19,800 GBP on a thirteen-seat Legacy 600. Those cover the aircraft to Geneva; the onward leg into Megeve is quoted separately.

3Can a private jet land at Megeve altiport?

Not in winter, and not at all if it is a jet. The altiport takes light aircraft such as a Pilatus PC-12 flown by crews holding a mountain qualification, and only from roughly April to November. Through the ski season the runway is groomed as packed snow rather than cleared, which suits helicopters and skis and rules out wheels entirely. There is also no fuel on the field and no instrument approach.

4Is the helicopter from Geneva worth it?

On a changeover Saturday in the peak weeks, yes without much argument: twenty minutes against a road that can take two and a half hours with no way of predicting which. On an ordinary weekday in March it saves fifty minutes for a considerable sum, and plenty of clients sensibly decline. The two things to remember are that the machines are committed months ahead for Christmas and February, and that the altiport works in daylight only.

5Do British passport holders need a visa for France or Switzerland?

No. A British passport allows visa-free travel for short stays of up to ninety days in any one hundred and eighty. Both countries are inside Schengen, so a flight from Britain crosses an external frontier once and the transfer from Geneva into France crosses no immigration border at all. Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, so the customs formality is handled at Geneva by your handling agent.
