The day excursion represents perhaps the purest expression of private aviation. No packing, no hotel logistics, no itinerary built around flights. You depart when you wish, arrive at precisely the destination you want, and return the same evening — having compressed an experience that would take a commercial traveller three days into a single, seamless programme. At FFGR Jets, we have refined six signature excursion formats that transform this logic into repeatable excellence.
The Alpine Ski Day: From Paris to First Tracks in Two Hours
Depart Le Bourget at 07:30. Land Chambéry or Sion by 09:00. First tracks by 10:00 — all before the lifts reach peak queues. The Alpine ski day excursion is the clearest demonstration of what private aviation permits that commercial travel does not: a Wednesday ski day in Courchevel or Verbier, without the Thursday and Friday spent in transit.
FFGR Jets coordinates the full programme: the aircraft (typically a Phenom 300E or Citation CJ3+ for groups of four to eight), the helicopter transfer from the regional airport to the resort, the private ski instructor, the Michelin-starred mountain lunch, and the return transfer for a wheels-up at 18:00. The entire day — from Paris to first run to home — costs from EUR 14,500 for the aircraft, divided across the group.
The Mediterranean Island Day: Dawn to Sunset
Ibiza. Mykonos. Sardinia. These destinations are aspirational precisely because they feel distant on a commercial itinerary — two days of travel to justify two or three days of experience. By private jet, they become a single day's excursion. FFGR Jets programmes Mediterranean island days with a departure before 08:00, arrival at the island by mid-morning, and a return flight timed to the client's preference.
The day programme typically includes a private beach club reservation secured in advance (FFGR maintains relationships at the defining venues on each island), a yacht aperitif, and a sunset cocktail at a clifftop terrace. The complexity of the day lies in the logistics: FBO coordination, customs on some routes, ground transfers at the destination. FFGR handles every element as a single briefed programme.
The Tuscan Wine Day and Art Excursion: Programmes for Collectors
Two other excursion formats have proven particularly valued by the FFGR client community: the Tuscan truffle and wine day (November, centred on Montalcino and the Brunello estates), and the Art & Architecture day in Venice, Florence or Athens. Both share the same structure: early departure from Paris or London, a curated day of access that would be unavailable to an unguided visitor, and an evening return.
The art excursion typically involves a curator-led access to a museum or private collection before public opening hours, combined with a private studio or restoration workshop visit. In Venice, FFGR additionally arranges a private gondola in the quieter northern canals and a lunch in a palazzo dining room. These programmes are designed for clients who collect, who seek cultural depth, and who value the guide's knowledge as much as the destination itself.
