In the Know: Winter Travel Tips

Whether you’re heading to snowy mountain destinations or planning a warm weather trip to South Florida, Jets.com’s private aviation experts are here to help you navigate winter travel. Traveling in the winter time comes with its own set of challenges, but with a little insider knowledge, you can navigate the season seamlessly. Here are our top tips to make your winter journeys stress-free and efficient: 

Plan for Alternate Airports in Mountainous Areas

“When flying into destinations like Aspen during winter, weather conditions can sometimes require using alternate airports, such as nearby Rifle Garfield County Airport (RIL). Planning ahead and accounting for driving time through mountain roads—especially in snowy conditions—helps ensure your trip stays on track.” 

— Edgar Alacan, Co-Founder at Jets.com 

Navigate South Florida Travel Restrictions

“With the new presidency, temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) may occasionally affect flights in and out of Palm Beach, leading to delays of up to two hours at Palm Beach International Airport. Nearby airports like Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, or Stuart offer excellent alternatives to help you stay on schedule.”

— Manni Scarso, Co-Founder at Jets.com 

Flying with Winter Gear Made Easy

“During the winter months, aircraft often require de-icing before takeoff, an important safety process that can result in delays and unexpected costs. At Jets.com, we take the stress out of winter travel by including de-icing fees in our Jet Card program. Additionally, we prioritize storing aircraft in heated hangars whenever possible to minimize the need for de-icing, helping to ensure smoother, more predictable flights and fewer disruptions to your schedule.”
