Charter a private plane to the world's premier international film festival
The Cannes Film Festival is held annually along the French Riviera in May, attracting some of the world's most luxurious private planes to the Mediterranean.
There will be plenty of luxury events and parties hosted throughout the city, and many of the world's most influential writers, directors, producers, and actors/actresses will be in attendance for one of the most prestigious events in the world of cinema.
Festival de Cannes
The Festival de Cannes is the world's most famous film festival. First held in 1946 following World War II, the festival has introduced classic films such as Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, and Taxi Driver to cinema lovers around the globe.
The 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival takes place from May 8th — 19th at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès located on La Croisette.
As more than 20,000 celebrities, filmmakers, industry insiders, and luxury travelers descend upon the Cote d'Azur, so too will their private jets.
Even still, it's 6,060 miles from LA to Cannes; unless you're in a Global Express XRS, Falcon 8x, or Gulfstream G550/G650, you won't make it across the Atlantic without needing to stop and re-fuel.
Unless the studio is letting attendees use their own long range jet, charter planes will be a popular way for many to arrive at popular jet hubs in Nice and Cannes.
Fly Private to the Cannes Film Festival
Private jets are a favorite choice for film festival attendees to match the luxury and opulence of the event.
From renting a luxurious long-range jet for a flight across the Atlantic, or a comfortable turbo-prop for travelers within Europe, to a private helicopter rentals between Nice and Monaco, there are a variety of ways to enjoy a private flight to the Cannes Film Festival.
Even after the awards have been handed out and the confetti has all been cleaned up, you'll find yourself along the beautiful French Riviera in the heart of the Mediterranean Spring, with nearby luxury destinations including Nice, Monaco, and St. Tropez. All three are within quick reach via helicopter or small charter plane.
However, it's important to note that with the rise in demand and congestion at airports along the Southern coast of France, the charter market will become very thin leading up to the event.
It's a good idea to get quotes early and book your flight before the best deals run out. Even worse, availability at Cannes-Mandelieu (IATA: LFMD; FAA: CEQ) may become limited, forcing you to arrive further away at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (IATA: LFMN; FAA: NCE), or leaving you with unattractive arrival/departure times.
Check out the event's official website for more information (http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/), and contact your jet charter provider to arrange your private flight to the Cannes Film Fest this May.
