Top Autumn City Breaks By Private Jet
Air Partner Private Jets - 12 Nov 2018
As the nights draw in and the temperatures begin to drop, there is no better time to get away for a few days of sunshine and sightseeing. There are a few destinations we have recommended, which you can fly to in just a few hours and are popular with private jet travelers for short breaks during autumn. On a city break, time is of the essence and flying privately allows you to make the most of your time, bypassing the busy airport hubs and avoiding the lengthy queues. For some inspiration, here are some of our favorite fall getaways. Wherever you’re looking to explore this autumn, we can get you there.
San Francisco by private jet
Warm days, cool nights describe a particularly pleasing time to visit the San Francisco Bay area. September through November is a popular time to go, as the daytime still offers sunshine and warmth. A few layers and a light jacket will be suitable for a daytrip to Golden Gate City or an excursion to the Muir Woods or Monterey. With plenty of activities to enjoy, the San Francisco Auto Show (November) or exciting 49ers football games. Private jet travelers are spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation too. A raft of luxury hotels have emerged in recent years, from the traditional small riads to large palatial resorts, such as the St. Regis, Fairmont and Taj Campton Place. For those looking for a bit of nostalgia and grandeur, the Palace Hotel in famous Union Square might be a nice choice.

New York by private jet
Simply put, New York City has it all. A perfect Autumn afternoon could be spent perusing beneath the colorful, changing leaves of Central Park. Followed by an evening ice skate around the tree at Rockefeller Plaza and one of the many Broadway shows. New York offers a choice of cuisine from around the world, from Chinese dumplings to 15-course taster menus there is something to please everyone’s tastes. The city’s nightlife includes rotating cocktail bars in skyscrapers, microbreweries and expressive dance bars. While New York has plenty accommodations throughout the city, nothing compares to a stay at the Waldorf-Astoria.
