Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Southampton?

A few weeks’ notice is recommended, particularly in summer, when the south coast attracts yacht charters, and during events such as Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight in August. Slots and apron space at Southampton are limited. LunaJets regularly secures last-minute flights, even when demand is high.

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Southampton?

Southampton is not one of the airports approved for pet travel under the UK Pet Travel Scheme. Pets cannot be cleared for entry here. If you are travelling with animals, it is better to route your flight via nearby Farnborough, which is approved and equipped to process pet entry, before continuing to Southampton. LunaJets will advise you on the most practical routing and ensure all paperwork is in order.

What are the entry and visa requirements when flying private to Southampton?

All travellers flying privately to Southampton must comply with UK entry rules. Since 2025, most non-UK nationals (including those from the EU, EEA, and Switzerland unless they hold UK residence status) require a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before arrival. The ETA is applied for online, costs about £16, valid for up to two years or until the passport used expires. LunaJets will verify your specific requirements depending on your citizenship.

Are there alternate airports near Southampton for private jets?

Yes. If Southampton’s hours or slots do not suit your schedule, Farnborough is a popular alternative, offering extended operating hours and dedicated private jet facilities.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Southampton Airport?

Yes. Southampton Airport is not a 24-hour airport. Normal operating hours are 06:30 to 23:00 daily, with Sunday mornings opening around 07:30. Movements outside these hours require prior permission from the Airport Duty Manager. The airport allows up to 10 night movements per month (typically for medical or emergency flights).
