Golfing, skiing, tennis, climbing or yoga: how sports clubs can maximise their members’ time by chartering a private jet for tournaments, retreats and events.

Sports enthusiasts and those who passionately embrace wellness know that it doesn’t get much better than jetting off somewhere new for their favourite sport.

Whether it’s conquering a top-tier Masters golf course, trying out exciting new running trails or getting to a secluded beach to achieve those sunrise asanas, a getaway that includes sport is sure to get members fired up and excited.

Sports holidays: arrive with passion and a purpose

Sports holidays are unique in that everyone arrives with a purpose: each individual not only has something to do, they usually come away with a real sense of achievement at the end. What’s more, sporting breaks give people quality time away from the busy-ness of life to really focus valuable time on improving their game, skills or technique. All of these are key reasons to really make the most of a group sports trip, as they can significantly propel members forward, and take their practice up a level.

Given the real appeal of organising sports groups abroad and the significant benefits they bring, why not make the most of your sporting break for your club, resort or team and consider travelling to your destination by private jet, with LunaJets?

Forget the fear of lost or delayed valuable sports equipment Chartering a private plane from one of the many high-end aircraft in the LunaJets fleet absolutely guarantees your sports club trip will be a success. Private aircraft travel not only represents the epitome of luxury and comfort, but ensures a wonderful, hassle-free experience. This is particularly relevant when transporting premium sports equipment, such as golf clubs, high-end bicycles, skiing equipment or even climbing gear, which we know adds up to thousands of dollars per item. Group members will want to know that their precious equipment, which is not only valuable, but is highly personal to them, is safe and secure at all stages of their journey. Travelling by private jet guarantees safety and security of equipment as it is placed in the plane at the same time as passengers, and it can even be accessed mid-flight, if required.

Private jet travel is ideal for challenging terrains and hard-to-reach areas

We encourage you to call on LunaJets’ experienced agents who can offer and advise on concierge services, such as hotel or restaurant bookings, as well as helicopter charter and accessing out-of-the-way mountain resorts.

Do I need a large group to book a private jet?

No. Even if you just wish to fly a small group, you will gain time and may even make cost savings by coordinating everyone’s flights to the destination. Once you have a date in mind and know the size of your group, please call LunaJets to discuss the best private aircraft options for your party.

What if my passenger numbers change - will I need to change my aircraft choice?

If your passenger group size changes, call your LunaJets representative: we can organise another small aircraft to depart at the same time and transport your extra guests, or change your booking to that of a larger jet, or a smaller aircraft. LunaJets agents are available 24/7, and are totally dedicated to superior customer care, offering ultimate flexibility and responsiveness.

What are the hygiene measures onboard a private jet?

Depending on which private aircraft you select, the cabins will offer a variety of high-tech air recirculation systems or HEPA air filters that remove the cabin air while removing allergies, viruses, and germs. Your team will likely feel more at ease knowing that they are not sharing the space with numerous other passengers and that they are avoiding crowds at commercial terminals because crowded environments are a likely vector for the transmission of viruses and colds. Travelling by private plane is a lot more comfortable and hygienic in terms of reducing bacterial risk and exposure.

What if members in my team need to travel at different times?

Depending on the size and needs of your passenger group, LunaJets can easily arrange either for two separate aircraft departing at different times to transport passengers, or for the aircraft to execute two or three return trips.

Is food available on the LunaJets aircraft?

If you’re travelling with a sporty, health-conscious crowd, you will want to know what menu and snack options are available. Catering options onboard are as numerous and diverse as the LunaJets fleet of aircraft, although do note that Light/Very Light jets typically do not have galley kitchens on board, thus snacks and meal options are restricted on these types of aircraft. You can ask your LunaJets consultant to prepare something special, bring or request your favourite healthy treats onboard, or order from a nearby restaurant. Once you know the type of aircraft your group will be travelling in, you can decide the types of meals you will opt for onboard.

Who oversees our flights and travel coordination?

Your LunaJets representative will act as a single point of contact for your flights, and inform you well in advance of the check-in times and documentation requirements. LunaJets provides a luxury vehicle as standard from your guests’ home or hotel to the private airport terminal, as well as providing luxury vehicle transportation for your onward journey, as standard.
