2,725 km from the Aegean shore to an English airfield, about 3 h 51 of it airborne – Milas-Bodrum to Luton, no stop, a super-midsize cabin with every seat taken and the hold loaded. Our floor is €33 400 one way for the aeroplane, and the sum producing it is printed further down rather than simply asserted. This is the going-home half of a Mediterranean summer, and between June and September the weekday you choose moves the number further than the type of jet does. Send the dates; a written quotation follows in 30 minutes and +357 95 119759 answers whatever the hour.
Under four hours, near enough, from an airport that serves a shoreline to one you can be clear of in minutes. Whatever went out for the fortnight is coming back, usually with additions, so the hold is worth settling before the seats are.
REQUEST A QUOTEThe opening question is not which aeroplane. It is which bay the fortnight finished in, because two airports serve this coast and a long drive separates them. Pick the almost-right one on an August weekend and the mistake is paid for on a coast road, not in the air. After that comes the English end, where three fields sit minutes apart in flight and as much as an hour apart by car – a choice about your evening rather than about aviation.
Coordinates and codes: OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026; the distance is computed straight between them. The time model draws no distinction between the two directions, which is why this figure matches the one carried on the outbound page. In the air the homeward run is the one worked against the prevailing winds and therefore the one likelier to go long. Routing, weather, slots and type all move it, and the schedule in your quotation is the real one.
Two workable fields on the Turkish coast and three in England, and it is the first pair that costs money when chosen carelessly. Either can put an aeroplane in front of you; only one of them is near where your fortnight ended, and the road between them is not a short one.
| Airport | Codes | Role | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milas-Bodrum | BJV / LTFE | departure, default | The peninsula’s airport, at Milas and inland of the water, with business-aviation handling organised apart from the scheduled terminals. Through high summer the place carries a great deal of holiday traffic, felt as pressure on handling and on somewhere to park an aeroplane that has arrived early to wait for you – not as any doubt about getting airborne. Everything on this page is measured from here. |
| Dalaman | DLM / LTBS | departure, eastern gulf | Further east along the shoreline, and the correct field if the week ended at Gocek, Fethiye, Marmaris or anywhere in the eastern gulf – where a fair share of the yacht traffic on this corridor actually lies. It is a long road from the peninsula, so the choice belongs in the enquiry, before an aircraft is placed rather than after. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | arrival, default | Where most of this traffic comes in, and on any given day the field offering the broadest choice of aircraft and handling: 26,661 business-aviation movements during 2023 put it among the busiest in Europe. Distances and times here are measured to it. |
| Farnborough and Biggin Hill | FAB / EGLF, BQH / EGKB | arrival, alternatives | Farnborough handles no scheduled traffic whatever and works for west London, the Thames Valley and Surrey; Biggin Hill works for the City, Canary Wharf, south London and Kent. Over a sector of this length all three are minutes apart in the air, so let the road at the end of the day decide rather than the name of the airport. Give us the postcode and we will pick. |
Airport coordinates and codes: OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. The Luton movement figure is EBAA 2023, via Private Jet Card Comparisons, 4 June 2024; that dataset does not cover Turkish airports, so we publish no equivalent count for the departure end. Which handling facility receives your aircraft at either end is confirmed with the agent against your dates rather than promised here.
A full cabin over 2,725 km is a super-midsize job with room to spare, so range decides nothing at all. Volume in the hold decides it. Nobody comes back from two weeks on a boat travelling light, and the conversation that matters is bags before seats – more so on this leg than on the outbound one, since the pile rarely shrinks while you are away.
Eight to ten seats, a flat floor, and a baggage compartment that swallows a summer rather than one overnight bag apiece. The type seen most often over distances like this, and usually the simplest to secure when notice is short.
See the Bombardier Challenger 350 ›Nine to twelve seats, and of the three the most relaxed about a short runway – useful insurance if the way home acquires a second stop somewhere along the coast.
See the Cessna Citation Sovereign ›Eight to ten seats, the fastest of the three, with range well beyond anything this sector asks of it. Worth paying for when the Aegean week sits in the middle of a longer itinerary instead of at the end of one.
See the Gulfstream G280 ›Each type has a page of its own in the fleet section. Twelve travelling with full luggage is a question for a Legacy 650 or a Challenger 605 – the distance troubles neither, and the hold is in another class altogether. Baggage allowances by aircraft type are set out elsewhere on this site; ask us for the figure that applies to whatever we propose.
€33 400 one way for the whole aeroplane, as our indicative floor, rounded down. It is neither a quotation nor a tariff. Your date, what is genuinely free on it and the airport charges all move it; send the dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.
Nobody has published a whole-aircraft route price for these two cities from a source we would be prepared to reprint, so that figure is arithmetic rather than a quotation – and we would rather show the arithmetic than ask you to take a number on trust. Take the lowest published European hourly figure for this class of cabin, 8,700 EUR, and apply it to the 3 h 51 on this page, which is 3.85 hours: the product is 33,495. Round it down and you have the floor. Nothing in that sum is direction-specific; it is the same cabin class flying the same number of hours whichever way round you go.
One qualification belongs with it, and it belongs in plain sight rather than in a footnote. Light, midsize and long-range cabins each carry an explicit entry-level hourly rate in our sources, published as a “from” figure. This class does not. The calculation therefore leans on the lower end of a published range instead, which is a weaker foundation than the one used on other route pages here, and the floor should be read with that in mind.
What moves the real number is the week rather than the month. Changeover on this coast happens on Saturday: one party arrives as another leaves, and across July and August the Saturday departure from the Turkish end is one of the two hardest movements of the week to place. Shift to a Thursday or a Sunday, everything else unchanged, and the quotation frequently shifts with it. The other variable is the aeroplane’s recent history. Standing on a crowded ramp for a fortnight waiting for you is time you have paid for; flown down empty to collect you is a positioning sector that lands in your bill. Over four nights keeping it usually works out, since it then moves once instead of twice; over two weeks it seldom does. Ask every quotation in front of you which of those two it is describing.
| Reference | Applies to | Published figure | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole aircraft, one way | Our indicative floor for this route | from €33 400 | Arithmetic, not a quotation: 8,700 EUR per hour – the foot of the super-midsize range below – against 3.85 hours, rounded down from 33,495 |
| Hourly, super-midsize | Europe | 8,700 – 15,000 EUR per hour | Broker published range, undated, retrieved 23.08.2026. Its lower end feeds the calculation above; this class carries no rate labelled “from” |
| Hourly, super-midsize | Europe, quoted in dollars | 6,200 – 7,500 USD per hour | Broker published range, August 2026 |
| Seats on shared flights | Ours, European sectors | from 1,000 EUR per seat | Published on this site, 2026 – a Citation XLS+ seat, London to Nice. A seat, not the aeroplane |
| Empty leg | Depends on the day | discounts of 50 – 75% are published | Broker price pages, retrieved 23.08.2026. Carrying parties out for a fortnight manufactures repositioning flights in both directions |
The hourly ranges above were published by third parties and are reprinted so that you have a yardstick to hold against any offer, ours as much as anybody’s. None of them is our offer and none binds anyone. The floor at the head of this page is a calculation with its inputs on show, printed in place of a route price we cannot source: a figure invented to fill a blank would be worse than the blank.

GET A FIRM PRICEA fierce short season and a long quiet one. From June to September this is among the busier private-aviation corridors running between the eastern Mediterranean and Britain; from November to April it thins to business traffic. Which of the two your dates fall in settles nearly everything on this page – and inside the season, so does the day of the week you leave on.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| July and August | The peak, and its rhythm is weekly rather than monthly. Saturday carries the changeover in both directions, handling at the Turkish end runs at capacity, and parking for an aeroplane that has to arrive and wait is arranged in advance rather than assumed | Four to six weeks for a Saturday inside the peak. Settle the date before the aircraft – the choice thins first and the price follows it. If the last day on the coast can move at all, say so at the enquiry |
| June and September | The good weeks: the season open, the sea warm, and the crush either not yet arrived or just departed. Choice on any given date is markedly wider than in the fortnight on either side of the August bank holiday | Two to three weeks, and before you fix on a Saturday ask what a midweek departure does to the number |
| May and October | The shoulders, and where the money goes furthest on this corridor. Everything on the coast is open, the airport is back to an ordinary tempo, and virtually any date offers the full spread of aircraft | One to two weeks. If the dates have any give in them, this is where the same journey is cheapest |
| November to April | Off season. The peninsula is quiet and the traffic thins to business rather than disappearing altogether | Short notice is realistic and the arranging is simple, since neither end is working at anything like a summer tempo |

For most parties on this route London is where the summer stops and the working autumn starts; for a few it is a junction rather than an end. A second sector agreed in the same conversation as the first is nearly always cheaper than the same sector bought alone a fortnight later.
Under the hour, and the leg that converts a finished Aegean summer into a booked Alpine winter without anyone changing their phone number.
London to Geneva ›Back to the Mediterranean, western end, and the continuation asked for most when the boat has moved rather than the season ended.
London to Nice ›East again, to the island where our own operations desk sits – an easy hinge for anybody whose eastern Mediterranean year is not over yet.
London to Larnaca ›Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
