Private Jet Venice to Sun valley

Covering approximately 4753 nautical miles, the Venice to Sun Valley route is one of the collection’s longer-standing pairings. It is a natural fit for a heavy jet such as the Gulfstream G550, though the Bombardier Global 6000 performs the sector just as capably. Cruising at altitudes up to 45,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most commercial traffic and weather, smoothing the ride considerably. Venice Marco Polo Airport is the customary departure airport for this pairing, and its private aviation infrastructure keeps pre-flight formalities brief. The approach into Friedman Memorial Airport, set at altitude among the surrounding peaks, is one that experienced private aviation crews are well accustomed to. Flexibility is the principal reward of chartering this sector: departure times can be set around personal plans rather than a fixed timetable, and the aircraft waits on the traveller rather than the reverse. Planning ahead is worthwhile on this sector, since positioning the right aircraft for a long day of flying takes some coordination between operator and client. Sun Valley itself needs little introduction to seasoned travellers: Dollar Mountain and Elkhorn Village round out a resort layout designed from the outset for an unhurried, low-density style of alpine holiday, while Trail Creek Cabin, one of the valley’s oldest gathering spots, has served skiers and summer visitors alike since the resort’s earliest seasons. Beyond that, the surrounding Sawtooth National Forest offers hiking, fly-fishing and mountain biking that keep the area busy well beyond the ski season, and Sun Valley, in Idaho’s Wood River Valley, was established in 1936 as the United States’ first purpose-built destination ski resort, conceived by Union Pacific Railroad chairman Averell Harriman. The route works well for anyone whose schedule cannot accommodate a connection, whether arriving for a ski week or a summer stay. The convenience is most apparent for return visitors, who tend to prize the time saved over a connecting commercial itinerary.
