Charter a Private Flight to the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea
The 2018 Winter Olympics will begin on Friday, February 9th, with the closing ceremonies taking place on on Sunday, February 25.
The setting for the XXIII Olympic Winter Games is PyeongChang, a resort town in the northern Gangwon province of South Korea.
More gold medals than ever before, making it one of the Olympic's most anticipated games in recent years; 102 gold medals will be be awarded, 4 more than the 2014 Sochi games.
Sports ranging from ice hockey, figure skating, snowboarding, and skiing will be showcased, along with popular winter games athletes including Shaun White, Lindsey Vonn, Jamie Anderson and more. 8 new events are also included on the schedule, most notably the big-air snowboarding competition.
More than a million visitors are expected to descend upon South Korea for the games, with most passengers arriving via commercial flights to Seoul, then taking a crowded train to PyeongChang.
Instead, private flights to the Winter Olympics can fly directly to Yanyang International Airport (YNY), where its 8,202 foot runway is capable of handling any private plane, including airliners for large group charters. Located just an hour away from PyeongChang, luxury ground transportation or high-security/VIP transport can be arranged to take you the rest of the way.

Security Concerns
However, unless you've awoken from a time-capsule and are unaware of the world's current state of affairs, in which case...
Between North Korea's disconcerting rhetoric, launching missiles over Japan, and the President of the United States openly mocking the North's leader on Twitter...
... let's just things over in that region of the Pacific haven't exactly been at ease, nor have they been stable.North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!— Donald J.

That said, it appears that leaders from both North and South Korea seek to ease tensions leading up the games, announcing they will march together as one into the Olympics, while also fielding a single women's hockey team, a first for the two nations.
Still, in today's world nothing is guaranteed and nothing should be taken for granted. Neither are event planners for this year's games, utilizing additional screening processes and procedures while on sure to be on high alert. This also means slower traffic at major airports as millions of visitors are anticipated.
If you're planning on attending this year's Winter Olympics in South Korea, one of the issues alleviated by private aviation is security issues, limiting your exposure to potential threats and issues, no matter how extraneous the circumstances.
Although they're by far the most convenient and comfortable way to arrive for the winter games, it's also the preferred way for many high net worth individuals and corporations to travel.
This means due to the high volume of private jet traffic coming into South Korea, airport slots will be assigned for arrivals at local airports. Airport slots are essentially landing and take-off times permitted by the airport, creating a schedule that gets locked in and subsequently built around.
They’re available on on a first come, first serve basis, so it's important to arrange your flight early to lock in the arrival and departure times your prefer.
You should also handle your hotel accommodations ahead of time, with as many as 10 new hotels constructed in PyeongChang and the surrounding areas over the past few months.
Notable luxury resorts to complement your private flight include: Simscabin Winter House, located five minutes from the Winter Games, with loft-style cabins loaded with amenities; Holiday Inn Resort, a luxurious hotel featuring a year-round indoor waterpark; and the Intercontinental Alpensia Pyeongchang Resort, offering some of the best accommodations and restaurants in the area.
