As the days are slowly getting longer and the chill starts to fade, spring opens up a world of travel opportunities. After the cold and dark winter months, many people long to some sunshine. Spring is the season of fresh starts, blooming landscapes, and perfect weather - not too hot, not too cold - making it one of the best times of year to take off on a private jet getaway.

Whether you’re craving sun-soaked beaches, crisp mountain air, or a European city break, flying private gives you the freedom to skip the crowds, land closer to your destination and make the most of every moment.

So let’s take a look at some of the top spring travel destinations this year, some close to home, others perfect for a long weekend abroad!

Jetting into Europe in spring means beating the summer rush, enjoying milder weather and seeing some of its most iconic places in full bloom.

The Amalfi Coast, Italy – La Dolce Vita

Before the summer crowds descend, the Amalfi Coast offers a more relaxed pace. Towns like Positano and Ravello are waking up for the season and the weather is warm enough for long terrace lunches, coastal drives and strolls along cliffside paths. Flying private into Naples or Salerno avoids the hassle of busy airports and gets you closer to the coast.

Paris, France – Spring chic

Few places do spring quite like Paris. The city comes alive with blooming trees, terrace cafés buzzing with locals and a renewed energy in the streets. Stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries, sip rosé in Saint-Germain, or visit art galleries without the summer crowds. Arrive by private jet at Le Bourget Airport and be in the city in under 30 minutes - seamless, stylish, and très Parisien!

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Tulip season in full color

Spring in Amsterdam means one thing: tulips. The city is at its most picturesque between March and May, especially with a visit to Keukenhof Gardens or the flower fields just outside the city. Beyond the blooms, enjoy canal-side dining, bike rides through Vondelpark and a thriving cultural scene. Private flights can land at Amsterdam Schiphol or smaller airports like Rotterdam The Hague for a quicker transfer.

Lake Como, Italy – Tranquility before the summer rush

In spring, Lake Como is peaceful, elegant and bathed in soft light. It’s the ideal time to explore the charming lakeside towns, enjoy Michelin-starred dining, or simply relax at one of the grand villas. Flying private into nearby Lugano or Milan allows for a smooth transfer to the lake, where the only thing on your agenda is soaking up the view.

The Algarve, Portugal – Sunshine and sea views

Looking for warm weather and peaceful beaches? The Algarve in spring offers both, minus the summer crowds of course. Think magnificent coastlines, hidden coves and luxury resorts that are just reopening for the season. Faro Airport handles private jet arrivals, and from there, it’s a short coastal drive to some of the region’s top hideaways.

Ibiza, Spain – Spring vibes before the party starts

While Ibiza is famous for its summer nightlife, spring is when the island truly shines for those in the know. The weather is warm, the beaches are quiet and the island’s more relaxed, bohemian side comes through. Enjoy cliffside sunsets, yoga retreats and beachside lunches without the crowds. Private jets land directly at Ibiza Airport, just minutes from both serene countryside fincas and seaside hotspots.

Ibiza also pairs well with nearby destinations like Mallorca or even the Côte d’Azur if you're planning a multi-stop itinerary- something we’re always happy to arrange.

Spring is one of the best times to explore the US - before the heat kicks in and long before the summer rush. From charming cities in full bloom to sunny escapes in the desert, these destinations are made even better when reached by private jet.

Charleston, South Carolina – Southern charm in full bloom

Charleston in spring is like stepping into a postcard: cobblestone streets lined with blooming magnolias, pastel-colored houses and fresh seafood by the waterfront - what’s not to love? The city also hosts popular spring events like the Spoleto Festival and Charleston Wine + Food, attracting a stylish crowd. Skip the long airport lines and fly straight into Charleston Executive Airport for a relaxed, scenic arrival.

Napa Valley, California – Wine, wildflowers and long weekends

Spring is one of the most beautiful times to visit Napa Valley. The vineyards are green and lush, the wildflowers are blooming, and the temperatures are just right for winery hopping, spa days and long lunches with a view. Private jets can land at Napa County Airport or nearby Sonoma, letting you toast the weekend without a moment wasted in traffic.

Scottsdale, Arizona – Desert sun and spring wellness

With blue skies and warm-but-not-too-hot temperatures, spring is peak season in Scottsdale. It’s the perfect time for golf, desert hikes, spa getaways, and spring training baseball. Private flights land at Scottsdale Airport - just minutes from luxury resorts, golf courses and restaurants. Whether it’s a wellness-focused escape or a family-friendly trip, Scottsdale delivers.

Aspen, Colorado – Spring skiing with a sunny twist

While most ski towns start to wind down in spring, Aspen hits a sweet spot. The snow is still great, the sun is shining and après-ski feels more like a patio party than a lodge retreat. It’s a great time for those who want both mountain action and stylish relaxation. Private jets can fly directly into Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (weather permitting) or nearby Eagle County if needed.

If you're traveling with kids, Aspen makes a great fit for a family-friendly spring trip. You can find more advice in our blog on jet-setting with children.

Palm Beach, Florida – Classic elegance and coastal cool

Palm Beach has spring written all over it: sunny skies, warm ocean breezes and elegant charm. It’s the place for poolside brunches, gallery hopping and classic resorts that do service like nowhere else. Private flights into Palm Beach International offer quick, discreet access to the island’s top spots - ideal for a weekend of laid-back luxury.

Southern Utah – National parks, Red Rocks and outdoor adventure

Spring is one of the best times to explore Utah’s "Mighty Five" national parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef. The weather is pleasant, the landscapes are jaw-dropping, and the trails are far less crowded than in summer. Whether you're hiking through slot canyons or soaking in panoramic desert views, Utah offers nature at it finest.

Private jets can land at smaller regional airports like St. George (SGU) or Canyonlands Field (CNY), placing you right on the doorstep of Utah’s dramatic red rock wilderness. It’s an unforgettable destination for families, adventurers, or anyone looking to disconnect in style.

Whether you're heading to the tulip fields of Amsterdam or the red rocks of Utah, how you get there matters just as much as where you’re going. Spring travel often means tight weekend schedules, unpredictable crowds and the desire to make the most of every moment. This is where private aviation shines.

Flying private allows you to:

• Avoid crowded terminals and long security lines
• Land closer to your destination
• Set your own schedule
• Enjoy a seamless, stress-free journey from door to door

And let’s not forget: spring weather can be unpredictable. The flexibility to reroute or adjust departure times makes private jets a smarter, more efficient choice.
