When to fly and what affects the price

  • The Cannes Film Festival in May and the Monaco Grand Prix around late May or June are the busiest weeks of the year at Nice.
  • Book as early as possible for those dates, as airport slots and parking fill up.
  • July and August are also peak season on the Riviera.
  • Whether an aircraft is already near Geneva or has to fly in first (positioning).
  • Airport, handling and parking fees, crew costs and taxes, all listed in your quote.

Save with empty legs

An empty leg is a flight an operator has to fly anyway to reposition an aircraft. If one matches your route and dates, you can fly for much less than a full charter. Mention in your request that your dates are flexible and we'll look for one.
