Private jet charter in Tallinn
Estonia's capital lies about 998 nautical miles north-east of London, a flight of roughly 2 hours 45 minutes that ends in the Schengen area and two hours ahead of British clocks. A jet that leaves a London airfield at seven in the morning is on the ground in Tallinn at about a quarter to twelve local time, in time for a lunch in the Rotermann Quarter, a meeting in the business district or an afternoon in the Old Town. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whichever of those it is. 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. Tallinn has one 3,480 m runway, the longest in the Baltic states, with customs and immigration listed as available round the clock and no slot system in the published data, so the real decisions are the handler, the date and the cabin size.

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 Tallinn 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 City, 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 Tallinn?
Allow close to three hours from the London fields, then move your watch two hours forward, because Estonia keeps Eastern European time and changes its clocks on the same dates as Britain. The sectors in the table run from 930 to 1,106 nautical miles, the long end of short-haul. A light jet can fly them; most clients with a full cabin choose a midsize one, and the table shows the sector from each British field we use.

Door to door, and the clock on the wall
Leave a London airfield at seven and you land at Tallinn at about a quarter to twelve local time. The airport stands 5 km south-east of the centre, so the Old Town is a short ride away, and tram lines 2 and 4 cover the same trip in under twenty minutes. Put the drive to the British airfield and the processing at both ends on top and a journey from central London to central Tallinn comes to roughly five and a half hours. A scheduled itinerary with a connection usually takes most of the day.
Light jet or midsize on a sector of nearly three hours
– Three or four people with cabin bags can sit in a light jet for the length of the sector, and the saving is real. We quote a midsize cabin beside it all the same, because the legroom counts after two and a half hours and the return is westbound, often against the wind;
– Past four people, or with golf bags, a pushchair, winter coats or a dog, the midsize jet stops being an upgrade and becomes the sensible quote. A winter party needs hold space that a summer one never touches;
– A heavy jet is for a large delegation, for one aircraft that follows you from Tallinn to Helsinki and Riga, or for a trip in which the Estonian capital is only the first of several stops.

Estonia from the air: when a turboprop beats the ferry and the road
Helsinki is only 57 nautical miles from Tallinn, and a Pilatus PC-12 covers it in about 35 minutes in the air. The ferries that cross the Gulf of Finland take between about two and three and a half hours depending on the operator, which is why a working day in Finland can be worth flying. Pärnu, the summer capital on the south-west coast, is 63 nautical miles away and about 128 km by road; Tartu is 91 nautical miles and Kuressaare on Saaremaa 105, a flight of 40 to 45 minutes that replaces a road journey and a ferry crossing. Riga is 158 nautical miles, about 55 minutes by turboprop, and all of these sectors are inside the Schengen area. A loop of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius arranged as one trip costs noticeably less than three separate charters, because the aircraft and crew stay with you.
Before you accept an Estonian onward quote
– Check the airport named at the far end. Stockholm has more than one business airport, and a quote that gives only the city name will be revised once the real field is chosen. For Helsinki we name Helsinki-Vantaa and the terminal in writing;
– Check the opening hours of the smaller Estonian fields. Tartu, Pärnu and Kuressaare publish customs and handling hours and ask for notice outside them, so a late arrival on a turboprop leg needs the handler's agreement before the quote is final;
– Check whether the legs are one booking. Three days across Tallinn, Helsinki and Riga cost less as a single 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:

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.
Online Calculator
If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.
All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.
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 Tallinn:
Light jets, for a short and light party
Nearly three hours is a long sit in a light cabin, so these suit three or four people with modest bags. Range is no issue for Tallinn, which means the money goes on the hour and not on capability you will not use.
Midsize, for the delegation and the winter trip
A team with a laptop each and printed material, or a family with winter coats and a pushchair, is what usually moves a booking out of the light-jet class and into a cabin where the party can stand up and work.
Super-midsize and large
For a government or corporate delegation travelling as one party, for a team that works in the air, and for trips that carry on from Tallinn to Scandinavia or the Gulf rather than turning round.
Turboprops
The right aircraft for the hops inside Estonia and across the Gulf: Pärnu and Helsinki are about 35 minutes in the air and Kuressaare about 45, and on distances like these a turboprop saves a lot against a jet.
Helicopters
Not for the flight from Britain but for the last stretch: the manor houses of Lahemaa, a hop across the Gulf to Helsinki, or a seaside plot with a lawn and no runway. Where a helicopter may land is agreed before the quote.

This is a small part of what is available. Tallinn sits at the north-eastern edge of the Central European fleet, so there is often an aircraft already within an hour or so of the airport, in Helsinki, Riga or Stockholm, and that is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Tallinn
One airport does the work. The others on this list matter as a back-up, for a trip that is really to another part of Estonia, or because a quote names them and you should know why.
| Airport | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Tallinn Lennart Meri TLL / EETN |
The answer for almost every jet trip. It lies 2.7 nautical miles (5 km) south-east of the centre and has a single asphalt and concrete runway, 08/26, of 3,480 by 45 metres, with an ILS approach to each end, both Category II. The official aeronautical information lists customs, immigration, security, handling and de-icing as available round the clock, with Jet A-1 and hangar space for visiting aircraft by arrangement. General aviation aircraft park on Apron Y5 and are usually led in by a "follow me" vehicle. A business jet hangar complex of 5,230 square metres, run by Panaviatic, stands on the airfield |
| Helsinki-Vantaa HEL / EFHK |
Across the Gulf of Finland, 57 nautical miles from Tallinn, and the first plan B for a Finnish meeting or a diversion. Finavia runs a private business and VIP terminal on the southern part of the apron beside the main terminal, open 24 hours, with customs, immigration and security on site and general aviation slot booking. It makes sense when the trip is really to Helsinki, or when the party wants both capitals in one day. Dogs entering Finland need a tapeworm treatment, which Estonia does not ask for |
| Tartu TAY / EETU |
A small field 5 nautical miles south-south-west of Tartu, the university town, with an asphalt runway of 1,800 by 31 metres and an ILS approach to runway 26. The airport lists customs and immigration round the clock on one hour's notice, and Jet A-1 on the same notice. It earns a place here when the trip is really to Tartu, the Otepää ski area or the south of the country, and with a runway of 1,800 metres it suits light and midsize jets better than heavy ones |
| Pärnu EPU / EEPU |
The airport of the summer coast, 2.4 nautical miles north-west of the resort town, with an asphalt runway of 1,970 by 30 metres and satellite-based approaches in place of an ILS. Customs and immigration work every day in daytime hours on one hour's notice, and a fuel order above 1,000 litres needs 48 hours. It is the choice for a beach week or a spa weekend, and the airport asks that low flying over the town at night be avoided |
| Kuressaare URE / EEKE |
The airport of Saaremaa, the largest island in Estonia, 1.5 nautical miles south-south-east of the town. It has an asphalt runway of 2,000 by 30 metres and a second, short one of 799 metres, customs and immigration every day, and handling by arrangement with the airport. With 2,000 metres of runway it suits light and midsize jets, and it is the field for the island's medieval castle town and the summer music festivals |
| Riga RIX / EVRA |
Not an alternative for an Estonian meeting but a plan B and a natural next stop, 158 nautical miles away and about 55 minutes by turboprop. The Latvian capital is also inside Schengen, so a hop from Tallinn involves no passport control. It makes sense when the Estonian airfield is shut or when Riga is the next leg of a Baltic loop |
Four points settle most Tallinn arrivals:
Choose the handler
Ground handling at Tallinn is mandatory, and the aeronautical information names AS Tallinn Airport GH as the handler, with terms to be agreed with it before the flight. Jet A-1 comes from Baltic Ground Services EE and from Eesti Aviokütuse Teenuse AS, both listed round the clock. Private passengers are usually received in a VIP area with a private lounge and a transfer to the aircraft, and we confirm in writing which facility and which handler you will meet before you pay.
Hours, permission and noise
No curfew and no slot system appear in the airport data, and customs, immigration, handling and de-icing are all listed as available round the clock. What needs attention is permission. A foreign operator's charter that sets down or picks up passengers in Estonia needs permission from the Transport Administration, requested at least 48 hours ahead, not counting weekends and public holidays, while a private flight under the Chicago Convention needs none. Noise abatement applies below 3,000 feet, and jets departing runway 26 follow a special climb procedure.
Border and passport
Estonia is in Schengen and Britain is not, so you pass passport control and customs on arrival. Estonia lists Tallinn among five customs aerodromes where a flight arriving from outside the Schengen area makes its first landing, and on private flights from non-EU countries the pilot sends a General Declaration with the passenger data to the police before take-off. 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 beyond the day you leave. The Entry/Exit System takes a photograph and fingerprints from short-stay visitors, so allow a few extra minutes on a first visit.
Weather, closures and the car
Winter is cold and dark, with a January average of about minus 3 degrees Celsius in the city, and in heavy snowfall de-icing and hangar space are in demand, so we book de-icing early and keep Helsinki or Riga in mind as a plan B. De-icing is done at the stands or at a holding point by the handler and adds minutes to a winter departure. Give the car company the handler as well as the flight, because a driver told only airport may wait at the wrong door.

Border, passport and the way home
Because Estonia is inside Schengen, the first landing is where the formalities happen, and everything after that, a hop to Riga or a drive to the coast, is free of border control. A crossing to Helsinki is the same: Finland is in Schengen too. The way home runs the other way. Britain treats the aircraft as arriving from abroad, so a General Aviation Report is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and passengers pass the border at the British airfield. Visitors who need no visa for Britain still need an Electronic Travel Authorisation unless they are British or Irish citizens. We file the paperwork; you bring passports that are in date, and you declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to duty, since the usual EU limits on meat and milk products apply to what you carry in.

From the apron to the Old Town
Tallinn is a harbour town of medieval walls and spires on the Gulf of Finland, and its Old Town is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Toompea, the hill above it, is the seat of the national government. Kadriorg, with its palace and park, lies about 2 km east of the centre; the Telliskivi Creative City, the Rotermann Quarter and Noblessner are converted industrial districts that now hold galleries, restaurants and offices. From the airport you reach all of it in less time than a briefing takes, and the distances that matter run out to the manors of Lahemaa, the beaches of Pärnu and across the water to Helsinki.
2.7 nm south-east of the city, which is why a single airport carries the jet traffictypically 10 to 15 minutes by car
lines 2 and 4 serve the airport, with trams mostly at five-minute intervals18 to 19 minutes
the park lies about 70 km east of the capital and takes in manors such as Palmse and Sagadi, boulder-strewn coast and bogtypically about an hour by road
63 nm by Pilatus PC-12, against 128 km by road to the summer capitalabout 35 minutes
105 nm by Pilatus PC-12 to Saaremaa, which on the ground means a road journey and a ferry crossingabout 45 minutes
57 nm by Pilatus PC-12, against a ferry crossing of about two to three and a half hoursabout 35 minutes
Flying to Tallinn with a dog or a cat
For a pet the paperwork is the part of an Estonian 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 this length most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail to get right, since it lasts ten days from the day it is issued.

What Estonia, as an EU country, asks for:
- An ISO microchip (standard 11784, FDX-B or HDX) that can be read with a standard scanner, fitted before the rabies vaccination. The Estonian authority states that the vaccination must come after the chip is implanted or read;
- A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, and still valid on the day of entry, with the 21-day wait observed after the first vaccination;
- An Animal Health Certificate issued or verified by an official veterinarian, valid for ten days for entry to the EU and for the return to Britain as stated on the certificate, together with the owner's signed declaration that the journey is not commercial. A British pet passport is not accepted for entry to the EU;
- No more than five animals per traveller, with the documents and the chip checked at a border post open to travellers. Tallinn is a customs aerodrome in the Estonian aeronautical information, and our handler arranges the check at the terminal;
- No tapeworm treatment on the way in, since Estonia is not among the countries that ask for it. For dogs returning to Britain, a treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival, recorded with product, date and time. Cats are exempt.
What catches owners out on the Tallinn run
– The tapeworm treatment is a vet appointment you book in Estonia towards the end of the stay. Count back from the departure time, because the window is 24 to 120 hours and an early Monday flight needs a visit that falls before the weekend closes the clinics;
– A Helsinki side trip changes the rules for a dog. Finland asks for a tapeworm treatment on entry, which Estonia does not, so a day across the Gulf needs its own vet visit and its own paperwork, planned before the trip;
– The order of the chip and the vaccine matters. A vaccination dated before the microchip does not count, and an animal that arrives without the right papers may be refused entry or sent back at the owner's expense.
Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the flight home, we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.
The Tallinn calendar: from white nights to the Black Nights
Tallinn has two high points that pull in opposite directions: the weeks around midsummer, when the sky hardly darkens, and the dark months of film and Christmas. Between them sits a chain of smaller events, and knowing which one you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.
When Tallinn does get tight
The aircraft are rarely the scarce item here, because most of the Tallinn calendar is made of city events and not of aircraft events. The exception is a Song Festival summer: in that July the grounds are filled with a choir of more than 30,000 singers and an audience of about 80,000, and hotels, cars and drivers go first, so book them before the aircraft. Other than that, rooms and restaurant tables are tightest around Midsummer and the weeks of Christmas. The one condition that can change a plan on any date is winter weather, which is why we allow time for de-icing and keep an alternative airfield in mind.
Ways to bring the Tallinn price down
- Shift the dates by a few days if the diary allows. A midweek flight in the spring or autumn shoulder months is calmer than Midsummer or the film weeks;
- Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Helsinki, Riga or Stockholm costs less to bring over than one flown out from Britain, and on a sector of this length the positioning is a visible slice of the invoice;
- Take the light jet only when the party and the bags are small. Three people with cabin bags save real money in a CJ3+; six people with hold luggage do not, and the quote that looks cheap on paper is often the one that changes.
Types of flights
Tallinn produces a mix of its own, because the city is a government and technology centre in the week and a medieval harbour town at the weekend.
- Business travel, with fixed meeting dates, a small team and a request to be back in Britain the same evening;
- Government and delegation visits, such as the autumn digital summit, where a handler with a VIP area and a quiet passage to the car matter more than the price;
- City breaks in the Old Town, from the film weeks in November to the Christmas market, usually four people or fewer and sometimes a dog;
- Baltic and Nordic loops that put Tallinn, Helsinki and Riga into one itinerary, often with Stockholm added;
- Summer weeks on the coast at Pärnu, on Saaremaa or in the manor country of Lahemaa, mostly families and groups of friends;
- Day trips from London, which at close to three hours each way are a long day but a workable one.
Tallinn stretches the day trip to its limit. Wheels up at seven, on the ground at about a quarter to twelve local time, and off again at six in the evening gives you about six hours in the city and puts you back in Britain around a quarter to seven. The crew waits for you at the airport and that waiting time is charged, yet the total is usually below two one-way charters, and we price the route both ways so you can compare.
Empty Legs
Some jets cross the Baltic with nobody aboard, moving to their next job, and the operator will sell that seat-free leg cheaply rather than fly it for nothing. That is an empty leg. On the Tallinn route the supply follows the working week and the festival weekends.
Where Tallinn empty legs come from
– Delegation and conference trips. An aircraft brings a group in on a Monday and leaves empty a day or two later, and the leg back towards London or Stockholm is the one most often offered;
– City-break weekends. Small parties arrive on the Friday and the aircraft goes home empty, which produces an outbound leg on the Friday or Saturday;
– Nordic and Baltic rotation. Operators positioning between Helsinki, Riga, Stockholm and Tallinn put short regional legs on the market, and those short hops can be cheap.
Because the Baltic 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 Tallinn match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter
In Tallinn a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The Old Town is small enough to cross on foot, and the airport is only 5 km from it. The places where rotary flight changes the journey are the manor country of Lahemaa, the crossing to Helsinki and a seaside estate with its own lawn.
tour operators advertise the crossing at about twenty minutes against a ferry of two hours or more, with the landing site agreed in advanceabout 20 minutes each way
manors such as Palmse and Sagadi, about 70 km east of the capital, against a drive of about an hour each waytypically 20 to 25 minutes
a landing away from an aerodrome needs an agreed site and the landowner's consenton request
Before you plan around a helicopter
– Rotary flight is limited by where it may set down. 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 an estate garden before the quote is written;
– Baltic weather sets the schedule. Fog, low cloud and winter snow 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;
– For Midsummer and the Christmas 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 short scenic work, the wider H130 for estate and coastal 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.

Tallinn 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 working day in Tallinn and home for the evening
Biggin Hill - Tallinn and return, Citation CJ3+, about 2 h 50 min each way · 4 pax
Four people left a London airfield at seven, landed at about a quarter to twelve local time and went straight to an afternoon of meetings in the centre. The aircraft stayed on the ground with its crew, and that wait was a line in the quote, but the total was still lower than two one-way charters. Home by seven. A long day that does the job.
DELEGATION · A QUIET PASSAGE
Official visit with a fixed arrival
Farnborough - Tallinn, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 40 min · 5 pax
The date was set by the other side. The handler was named in writing a week ahead, the passport check was arranged at the terminal and the car was waiting at the aircraft door. Nobody queued, and nobody had to explain the aircraft to anyone.
CONFERENCE WEEK · FIXED DATES
A technology team for three days of meetings
London Luton - Tallinn, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 40 min · 8 pax
The dates were set by the programme and not by the client. Eight people, laptops, printed folders and a request for a car at the aircraft door. The booking went in several weeks ahead, the handler pre-arranged the arrival formalities, and the aircraft left Luton on time with nothing to explain.
NORDIC LOOP · ONE BOOKING
Tallinn, Helsinki and Riga in three days
London City - Tallinn - Helsinki - Riga - London City, Citation XLS+ · 6 pax
Three capitals, three meetings and one aircraft that stayed with the party. Passport control happened once, on the first landing at Tallinn, and the two hops between the capitals were border-free. Quoted as three separate charters it came out well above the single booking, because the crew would have repositioned between each stop.
WINTER WEEKEND · A DOG ON BOARD
Four adults and a spaniel for the Christmas market weekend
Southampton - Tallinn, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 50 min · 4 pax + dog
The Animal Health Certificate had to be dated inside ten days of arrival, and the vet appointment in Tallinn for the tapeworm treatment had to fall between 24 and 120 hours before the flight home. We booked both with the aircraft, left extra time for de-icing on the way out, and the hotel took the dog.
EMPTY LEG · MIDWEEK WEST
A jet already going your way
Tallinn - London Luton, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 2 h 35 min · 3 pax
The aircraft had brought a delegation in on Monday 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 midweek departure to the London fields.
Frequently asked questions about flying to Tallinn
1How long is a private jet flight from London to Tallinn?
About 2 hours 45 minutes from London City and 2 hours 50 minutes from Biggin Hill in a light jet, and around 2 hours 35 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes from Luton or Farnborough in a Phenom, covering roughly 997 to 1,032 nautical miles. From Manchester or Birmingham allow about 2 hours 40 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes in a midsize cabin, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow around 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 35 minutes. Tallinn is two hours ahead of Britain, so a seven o'clock departure lands at about a quarter to twelve local time.
2How much does a private jet to Tallinn cost?
From about £13,350 one way on a light jet out of London City, and £13,450 from Biggin Hill. A Phenom from Luton or Farnborough runs £13,350 to £13,750, a midsize cabin costs £16,850 from Birmingham and £17,850 from Bristol, and from Scotland allow £19,850 to £20,450. Midsummer, the film weeks and the Christmas market weekends can price above these figures.
3Which airport should a private jet use for Tallinn?
Tallinn Lennart Meri (TLL / EETN), 5 km south-east of the centre, for almost every jet trip. It has one 3,480 m runway, ILS approaches at both ends, and customs and immigration listed as available round the clock. Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL / EFHK) is the first alternative across the Gulf, Tartu (TAY / EETU) and Pärnu (EPU / EEPU) serve the south and the coast, and Kuressaare (URE / EEKE) is the airport of Saaremaa.
4Does a private jet need permission to land at Tallinn, and what happens on arrival?
A private flight from a Chicago Convention state such as Britain needs no landing permission, but a foreign operator's charter that sets down or picks up passengers in Estonia needs permission from the Transport Administration, requested at least 48 hours ahead, not counting weekends and public holidays. Estonia is in Schengen and Britain is not, so passengers pass passport control and customs on arrival. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180.
5Can I fly on from Tallinn to Helsinki, Pärnu or Saaremaa?
Helsinki is 57 nautical miles from Tallinn, so a Pilatus PC-12 flies it in about 35 minutes, against a ferry of about two to three and a half hours. Pärnu is 63 nautical miles, about 35 minutes by turboprop, and Kuressaare on Saaremaa is 105 nautical miles, about 45 minutes. Riga is 158 nautical miles and about 55 minutes, with no passport control between the Baltic capitals.
6Can I take my dog to Tallinn on a private jet?
Yes. The dog travels in the cabin with you, and Estonia, as an EU country, asks for a microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, a vaccination at least 21 days old and an Animal Health Certificate valid for ten days for entry. Tallinn is a customs aerodrome, so the check is made at the terminal. For the return to Britain a dog needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival. Cats are exempt from the treatment.
