Cannes to London is 1,075 km north-west, about 1 h 46 min in the air, Cannes Mandelieu CEQ to London Luton LTN, normally on a light / midsize jet.

North-west off the Cote d'Azur in about 1 h 46. Through the summer the difficult part of this booking sits at the Riviera end and in the calendar rather than in the air. Arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTE1,075 km north-west, and a sector a light or midsize jet flies in one leg without argument. The calendar decides far more of this booking than the distance does: flown in February and flown on the last Sunday of August, the identical sector is not the same product. In the season the sensible thing to send us is the departure hour you need, not only the date.
One field at each end, but two very different kinds of problem. At the London end the question is which arrival puts you closest to where you are going. At the Cannes end the question is what can operate out of the field on your date, which is why we confirm the aircraft type against the airport before it reaches your quotation rather than after.
| Airport | Codes | Role | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cannes Mandelieu | CEQ / LFMD | departure | Where the sector starts, and the point every distance and time on this page is measured from. On a Riviera departure the aircraft is agreed against the field and the date rather than picked off a list: we confirm the type with the airport first and quote second, which is the order that avoids a change of aeroplane the week before you fly. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | arrival | Where the sector ends, and the London field all the figures here are calculated to. London has more than one business-aviation airport, and which is right depends on the address you are heading for and the hour you land. Tell us where you have to be and we will quote to whichever arrival gets you there sooner. |

1,075 km sits at the top of the light jet band and the bottom of the midsize one, which is why the fleet on this sector is mixed. In July, going home with a fortnight's luggage, the decision is usually made by the hold rather than by the range.
The light jet on this pairing, and the type most often available at short notice through the season. It covers the 1,075 km north-west in a single leg.
See the Phenom 300 ›A stand-up midsize cabin and the usual answer for a family or a group heading home after a week. Close to two hours in the air is long enough for the extra cabin height to register.
See the Citation XLS+ ›The step up when what will not fit is the luggage rather than the party - the cabin and the hold volume for a long stay on the coast, on the same non-stop sector.
See the Hawker 800XP ›All three types are on our own fleet pages, and each is offered on this route subject to what the departure airport will take on your date. Heavier cabins can be arranged - ask and we will price them.
We publish no starting price for Cannes to London, and a figure invented for this page would not survive contact with a booking in August. What we can put in front of you is the published market for the aircraft class, so that any quotation you receive - ours included - has something to be measured against.
| Reference | Aircraft | Published rate | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate, Europe | Light / midsize jet | EUR 4,600 - 9,700 per hour | LunaJets, published for Europe, undated |
| Hourly rate, from | Light / midsize jet | EUR 2,900 - 3,500 per hour | Eurosky, retrieved 19.02.2026 |

Those are rates for the class, not prices for this route. They are worth having in order to sanity-check a quotation and no use at all for building one: multiply any of them by 1 h 46 and you have left out the crew day, the landing and handling at both ends, and whatever it costs to have an aircraft on the Riviera on your date in the first place.
On this pairing the calendar moves the figure further than anything else. The same sector bought in the shoulder weeks of May or October and bought for the last weekend of August is not the same purchase, because in the peak you are competing for the aircraft, the crew and the hour with everybody else going home at once. Send us the dates and we will quote against them rather than against an average.
Most business pairings run on the working diary. This one runs on the Mediterranean season, which means the year has one peak, two shoulders and a long quiet half - and the peak is exactly when everybody wants to fly the direction you are flying.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | The Mediterranean summer, and the weeks in which this route is genuinely full. The scarce items in the peak are the departure hour and the aircraft that can take it, and Sunday evenings going home are the tightest of all. | Four to six weeks out for a summer weekend. Give us the departure hour you need and not only the date, so that what we confirm is the day you actually have rather than the day on average. |
| May and October | The shoulder months either side of the season. The coast is open, the peak has either not started or has just finished, and the fleet is moving in or out of the Mediterranean. | Value and availability in the same weeks, and the window in which asking for a repositioning flight is most likely to produce one. If your dates bend at all, bend them into these months. |
| November to April | What is left when the season and its shoulders are taken out: the quiet half of the year on this pairing. | Short notice is realistic and the choice of aircraft is wider. Settle a return leg when you book rather than on the day - in winter it is the departure window rather than the aeroplane that closes first. |
The seasonal pattern above is the Mediterranean travel year as it falls on this pairing, not a published seasonal index for the city pair.
The flight north is often only the first half of the arrangement. Three things worth settling at the same time rather than afterwards.

Private jet from London Luton ›The Riviera fills and empties twice a year, and a fleet that moves in and out with it throws off repositioning flights in both directions. The shoulder months are when to ask.
Current empty legs ›When the whole aircraft is more than you need. Give us the number of people travelling and we will say honestly whether it applies to your dates.
Jet sharing ›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.
