Private Jet Charter London to Venice

London to Venice by private jet takes about 1 h 53 over 1,169 km, out of Luton, Farnborough or Biggin Hill and into Venice Marco Polo, normally on a light to midsize jet. Indicative price from €5 400 for the whole aircraft, one way. Send the dates and a written quotation follows within 30 minutes; the operations desk answers at any hour on +357 95 119759.

Just under two hours south-east, across France and the Alps and down onto the lagoon. Marco Polo is the rare airport where the transfer is a boat rather than a car, and it leaves from a dock a few minutes from the aircraft. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs.

The route at a glance

Venice is an unusual destination in business-aviation terms because almost nobody flies there for business, and yet it is not a summer-only route either. The calendar has hard edges rather than a season: Carnival in February, the Biennale running from spring into autumn, the film festival at the start of September, and a steady flow of weddings and short private stays around them. Luton logged 26,661 business-aviation movements in 2023 and Venice Marco Polo 6,580, so the aircraft nearly always comes from the London end - and in the festival weeks the constraint is not the aeroplane but the ground.

Distance is the great-circle figure between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset. The flight time is an estimate, not a measured block time: it comes from a simple model fitted to the flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this website, and it moves with airway routing, wind, slots and aircraft type. Your quotation carries the real schedule.

Which airports we use

Three departures in London and, for practical purposes, one arrival on the lagoon. The row worth reading twice is the last one: what you are really choosing at the Venice end is not an airport but a transfer, because the difference between landing at Marco Polo and landing anywhere else in the Veneto is the difference between stepping into a boat and starting a drive.

AirportCodesGreat-circle to VeniceSuits you if
London LutonLTN / EGGW1,169 kmThe default. About fifty kilometres north of central London, with the widest choice of aircraft on the day - which matters here, because the aeroplane almost always starts in England rather than in Italy.
FarnboroughFAB / EGLFa little furtherBusiness aviation only, no scheduled traffic, and the shortest ground time of the three. Marginally the longer sector to Venice. The right departure for Surrey, Hampshire and the Thames Valley.
London Biggin HillBQH / EGKBa little shorterSouth-east of London and therefore fractionally closer to Venice, though the minutes saved in the air are not the point. It is the field that saves an hour on the road for anyone in south London, the City or Kent.
Venice Marco PoloVCE / LIPZarrivalThe arrival, and the reason this route is pleasant. The airport sits on the edge of the lagoon at Tessera; water taxis leave from a dock a short walk from the terminal and run directly to the hotel landing stages in the centre, which removes the car, the causeway and the luggage trolley from the trip entirely. Treviso, about thirty kilometres inland, is the practical fallback when Marco Polo is constrained, but it puts you back in a car.

Aircraft for London to Venice

At 1,169 km nothing in this class is stretched, so range does not decide anything. Luggage does. A Venice trip is almost never a briefcase trip: it is a wedding, a festival, a week on a boat or a house party, and the hold is the number to check before the seat count.

Embraer Phenom 300

Six to eight passengers, a 2.27 cubic metre hold and 3,650 km of range, which is more than double what this sector asks. The quickest type to arrange out of London at short notice, and the usual answer to a late booking in film-festival week.

See the Embraer Phenom 300 ›

Cessna Citation XLS+

Seven to eight passengers, a stand-up cabin and the largest hold of the three at 2.55 cubic metres. Venice is a destination people pack for - evening clothes, festival wardrobes, the occasional piece of art going out or coming back - and the hold fills long before the seats do.

See the Cessna Citation XLS+ ›

Hawker 800XP

Six to eight passengers, a full galley and a separate lavatory. At 5,463 km of range it is a long way inside itself here, which is exactly why it suits a party that is going on somewhere else afterwards rather than home.

See the Hawker 800XP ›

All three types are on our own fleet pages. Larger cabins fly this sector regularly in the festival weeks, when groups travel together rather than separately.

What it costs

From €5 400 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.

We have not found a published price for the London to Venice city pair from a source we would be willing to reprint, so the figure above is our own floor rather than a quotation. The table below gives third-party hourly references for the cabin class instead, printed so that you have something honest to measure a quotation against.

The variable that moves this route is the calendar rather than the distance. In an ordinary week in April a quotation sits close to what the hourly references suggest. In the first week of September, or around Carnival, three things change at once: everybody wants an aircraft on the same days, handling at Marco Polo is at capacity, and ramp parking has to be arranged rather than assumed. If the aeroplane cannot stand at Venice it drops you and leaves, which is a different quotation from one where it waits - and for a two-night stay out of season, waiting is usually the cheaper shape.

These are third-party published hourly references for the cabin class, shown so that you can sanity-check any quotation you receive, ours included. They are not our offer and they bind nobody. If your dates fall in Carnival week or the first ten days of September, ask early: what runs out at Venice is handling and ramp space, not aeroplanes. Only a written quotation from Diamond Executive Aero Services, against your dates, is a price. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.

When to fly, and when to book early

Venice does not have a season so much as a series of events, and the traffic follows them precisely. Knowing which week you are in tells you more about availability and price on this route than knowing the month does.

PeriodWhat happensWhat to do
February - CarnivalTen days that fill the city and, with it, every hotel landing stage and every handling slot at Marco Polo. Traffic arrives from all over Europe and leaves inside the same few days.Four to six weeks. Book the arrival window before you settle the aircraft type, and expect the aeroplane to leave again after dropping you.
May to July - the Biennale seasonThe art and architecture exhibitions run from spring into autumn and generate a long, steady flow of private traffic rather than a spike, mixed with the wedding season.Two weeks is usually enough. This is the most comfortable part of the Venice year to fly into and the easiest to plan around.
Late August to early September - the film festivalThe hardest week of the year on this route. The Lido fills, the arrivals concentrate into forty-eight hours, and ramp parking at Marco Polo is the binding constraint rather than aircraft supply.Six weeks where you can. Tell us the arrival hour you need on the Lido and we will work backwards from the boat, not from the aeroplane.
November to JanuaryThe quiet months. Fog on the lagoon is a genuine operational factor in this period, and acqua alta occasionally complicates the transfer rather than the flight.Short notice is realistic and the pricing is at its softest. Build a little slack into a tight onward connection, and let us brief you on the weather rather than guessing.

Getting into Venice after you land

This is the part of the trip most people get wrong, and it is also the part that makes the route memorable. Marco Polo is one of very few airports in Europe where the sensible transfer is a boat.

The water taxi from the dock

The dock is a few minutes from the terminal and the boats run to the hotel landing stages in the centre. Tell us the hotel when you book the flight and the boat is arranged to meet the aircraft rather than found afterwards.

Arrange the transfer ›

If you are going to the Lido

Festival traffic goes to the Lido rather than to the centre, and the water route is different. It is worth naming the destination precisely, because the two are not interchangeable.

Ask about the Lido ›

Or continue to Milan or Rome

Venice is often one stop of an Italian week. Both onward legs are published, and an aircraft already in Italy is usually the cheaper way to make the second hop.

Questions we get about this route

How long is the flight from London to Venice by private jet?
About 1 hour 55 minutes. The great-circle distance from London Luton to Venice Marco Polo is 1,169 km, or 631 nautical miles, and our published-times model gives 1 h 53. That is an estimate rather than a measured block time: the airway routing crosses France and the Alps and is rarely the straight line the great-circle figure describes, so real block time moves with the track, the wind and the aircraft type. Allow roughly fifteen minutes on the ground at each end.
How do we get from Marco Polo into Venice?
By boat, and it is the best reason to fly into Marco Polo rather than anywhere else in the Veneto. The airport sits on the edge of the lagoon at Tessera; the water-taxi dock is a short walk from the terminal and the boats run directly to the hotel landing stages in the centre, which removes the causeway, the car park and the luggage trolley from the journey. Tell us the hotel when you book and the boat meets the aircraft rather than being found afterwards.
Which London airport should we leave from?
Whichever is nearest to where you are. Luton has the deepest choice of aircraft on any given day, which matters because on this route the aeroplane almost always starts in England. Farnborough takes no scheduled traffic at all and has the shortest ground time. Biggin Hill is fractionally the closest of the three to Venice and much the best for south and east London, the City and Kent. Between them the difference in the air is a few minutes and the difference on the road can be an hour, so give us the postcode and we will name the field.
What is the hardest week of the year to book?
The film festival at the end of August and the beginning of September, with Carnival in February close behind. In both weeks the difficulty is not the supply of aeroplanes - it is handling capacity and ramp parking at Marco Polo, which are finite and are requested rather than assumed. In those periods an aircraft will very often drop you and leave rather than wait, and that changes the shape of the quotation. If your dates fall in either window, ask six weeks out rather than two.
Will the aircraft wait for us in Venice?
It depends entirely on the week. Outside the festival periods, waiting for two or three nights is usually straightforward and is frequently the cheaper arrangement, because the alternative is two empty repositioning legs. In Carnival week and in the first days of September there is no ramp space to spare, so the aeroplane will normally leave after dropping you and come back for the return. It is worth asking at the enquiry stage rather than later, because what the aircraft does between your legs is a large part of what you are quoted.
How much does a private jet from London to Venice cost?
From EUR 5 400 one way for the whole aircraft as our own floor, on a light to midsize cabin. We have not found a published price for this exact city pair that we would be willing to reprint, so the page carries hourly references for the cabin class instead: brokers publish 4,600 to 9,700 EUR per hour for light to midsize cabins in Europe, with entry-level rates quoted from 2,900 to 3,500 EUR per hour (retrieved 2026). Those are their estimates, not our offer. Your own number depends mostly on the week, on where the aircraft starts and on whether it waits.
Is Treviso or Verona ever a better arrival?
Occasionally, and only for particular reasons. Treviso is about thirty kilometres inland and can work when Marco Polo is constrained at the hour you need, or when the party is staying in the Veneto rather than in Venice itself. Verona is a different trip altogether and makes sense for Lake Garda rather than for the lagoon. Both put you in a car, which is the thing Marco Polo lets you avoid. We will propose an alternative if it genuinely helps your day and tell you what it costs you in ground time.
What luggage can we take?
More than most people expect, but the hold is the constraint rather than the seats. The Phenom 300 carries 2.27 cubic metres and the Citation XLS+ 2.55 cubic metres, and on a Venice trip that space fills quickly. Tell us what is coming with you at the enquiry stage rather than at the aircraft steps, and we will name a type that takes it - loading a boat at the other end is easier when we know in advance what there is to load.
Can I book a last-minute private jet from London to Venice?
Usually yes, outside the festival weeks. The London end carries 26,661 business-aviation movements a year, so something suitable is normally free, and repositioning flights across the Alps are common in both directions. In Carnival week or during the film festival it is much harder, and the obstacle is handling and parking at Venice rather than aircraft. Call the operations desk on +357 95 119759 at any hour and we will tell you immediately whether your timing works rather than promise and check later. Ask about empty legs on the same call.
