About this route

London to Mykonos is a summer route for groups and families heading to villas, beach clubs and yachts in the Cyclades. A midsize jet gives the range and cabin space for the flight, and the operator checks that the aircraft suits Mykonos's short runway.

Airports

Departing London

  • Farnborough (FAB), a dedicated business-aviation airport south-west of London
  • Biggin Hill (BQH), south-east London, popular for its quick access to the City and Canary Wharf
  • London Luton (LTN), north of London, one of the UK's busiest business-aviation airports

Arriving Mykonos

  • Mykonos (JMK), the island's airport, with a short runway and strong summer winds that rule out some larger jets
  • Athens (ATH), for connecting by helicopter or ferry when Mykonos can't take your aircraft

When to fly and what affects the price

  • The season runs from May to October, with July and August the busiest and most expensive months.
  • Strong meltemi winds in high summer can cause delays or diversions, so allow some flexibility.
  • Many hotels and beach clubs close in winter, so flights outside the season are rare.
  • Whether an aircraft is already near London or has to fly in first (positioning).
  • Overflight and landing permits and customs at both ends, arranged by the operator and listed in your quote.
  • 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.
