Fort Lauderdale-based private jet provider Monarch Air Group shares the top locations and events to experience during 2022 in North and South America, and the Caribbean.

Tailor your private charter flight

Private aviation allows passengers to control their travel experience from start to finish. They decide when and where to land and what type of aircraft to charter. And no destination is too far or remote, as you can visit more than two cities in one day and make the most out of your experience. Skiing in Aspen during the morning and having dinner in Boulder, Colorado, an hour away by plane, is a real possibility as the private travel process is swift and efficient. Passengers only need to arrive 15 minutes before takeoff, avoiding lines and crowds.

North and South America, as well as the Caribbean, have much to offer. Monarch Air Group shares a list of places where, thanks to a private jet, passengers can maximize their stay while visiting other locations on the same trip. Why stay in the same place when you can explore more wonders? Welcome to the world of leisure private jet getaways, America edition.

Skiing in Colorado

Skiing season is here, and January is the month for all powder lovers to experience the wonders of the Rocky Mountains. Most of the renowned Colorado resorts are close to Denver, which includes Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Copper, Vail, and Beaver Creek. Aspen is somewhat removed, although it can serve as the starting point to all the previously mentioned. In fact, a usually private jet route is between Aspen County Airport (ASE) and Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) in Vail, separated only by 30 miles. You can experience both places the same day thanks to private flight.

Relaxing in Southwest Florida

Everyone knows about Miami, Palm Beach, and the Keys, but did you know that arguably even better and less crowded beaches await on the other side of the Everglades? That is a fact. Sarasota is a wonderful place with white sandy beaches and private jets can land at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ). Only 40 minutes away by private flight rests Naples, also on the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Florida, known for high-end shopping and golf courses. Naples Airport (APF) is the terminal that receives all kinds of private aircraft year-long. Other places to visit in this region are Marco Island and Fort Myers Beach.

Experiencing the Super Bowl in California

This year, Los Angeles is preparing to receive the historical influx of private jets that land at every Super Bowl hosting city. Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is the popular option for those flying private year-long to L.A., although Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is only 3 miles away from SoFi Stadium, the venue of the big game, and expected to receive an important number of private operations. It is equipped with one the best business aviation infrastructures in the world. In fact, California has a great network of private jet airports, and after the game, you can take your trip to San Francisco or even Las Vegas in less than two hours.

Discovering South America

South America in February means summer and the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Also, while in Rio, it might be worth visiting the popular beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, and the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer. Santos Dumont Airport (SBRJ) is the place to land a private jet in this iconic Brazilian city. A couple of hours away lies Punta del Este, in Uruguay, also known as the Miami of South America, a summer hot spot for celebrities and almost one million tourists. Endless gold-sand beaches and a topnotch nightlife and hospitality will catch your attention. Punta del Este International Airport (PDP) is the main terminal.

Enjoying paradise islands in the Caribbean

The Caribbean never gets old. Perfect sea temperature, endless beaches, and beautiful sights have been attracting tourists for decades. On a private jet, you can island hop and discover the endless beauty. Monarch Air Group positions The Bahamas as their top Caribbean route from the United States, followed by Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Dominican Republic. The usual routes start from South Florida, and in just under two hours of flight passengers can have an experience of a lifetime.

Airport infrastructure is convenient and depending on the type of aircraft, passengers can land on water or pull up to a dock. Monarch Air Group offers a charter service via seaplane, possibly the best way to get around the Caribbean. The typical process is to land near a dock, catch a ferry and arrive to the resort or house the passengers will stay at. Some exclusive resorts will even carry the luggage out of the aircraft, golf cart it to the private home, and by the time the passengers go through customs they will have the luggage waiting for them inside their room. Customization at its finest.

Winter is already here, and beautiful locations and experiences await savvy travelers seeking to make the most out of early 2022. America is a place full of wonders, from north to south, and private aviation serves as the perfect complement to discover many unique places, while maximizing every minute of the journey thanks to its flexibility and unparalleled efficiency.
