Roland-Garros by Private Jet: Airports and Timing
Officially called Roland-Garros, the tennis grand slam event in Paris is a major sporting event worldwide. Fun fact - Roland Garros was the first Grand Slam to introduce floodlights. In 1988, they installed floodlights on the main courts, allowing for exciting evening games and extending play into the night. Later, the feature extended to other major tennis tournaments worldwide. Night matches at Roland Garros have become a fan-favorite to witness high-quality tennis under the dazzling lights.

Why Should I Charter a Private Jet to Tennis Tournaments?
Have you ever thought of hitching a ride on a private plane to watch tennis? It's trending to zoom off to witness some epic serves and volleys. Private travel is the dream ticket for players and fans alike. No more jostling through airport crowds or dealing with those dreaded security lines. Just smooth sailing (or flying) to your seat. Here's a rundown of the perks:
- Flexibility in Departure: Private air transportation makes it much easier to leave tournament sites promptly without hasslesome arrangements. If a player or VIP audience member needs to leave immediately after a match, a private plane can offer the flexibility to suit their schedule without relying on pre-determined commercial flight times.
- Avoiding Delays: Private flights mitigate the potential for bottlenecks that may occur when flying in the company of other passengers. Without waiting for other passengers to board or deplane, players and spectators from around the globe can save valuable time, ensuring prompt arrivals and departures.
- Privacy and Recognition: Players and celebrity spectators with global recognition may value the confidentiality provided by private travel. With fewer interactions with the public and the ability to bypass crowded airport terminals, players can enjoy a more seamless and discreet travel experience.
- Accommodating Family and Team: Private planes are so spacious that they can comfortably fit not only tennis players but also their entire families and teams. It is typical to travel with family and coaches onboard.
Private Jet Charter French Open Prices
Factors that affect the pricing are the distance traveled, the size and type of aircraft chosen, the duration of the flight, any additional services requested, and the time of booking. Private jet charter prices to Paris can vary significantly based on these factors. For example, shorter flights from nearby European cities like Nice or London may be more affordable, while longer flights from distant locations could command higher prices. The type of aircraft selected also plays a significant role, with larger and more luxurious jets generally costing more to charter.
Additionally, peak travel times, such as during the French Tennis Open, Summer Olympics, or the Paris Fashion Week, may have high demand for private jet charters, potentially leading to higher prices. However, early booking and flexibility with travel dates can sometimes result in more competitive rates. Travelers must work closely with our private jet charter agents to understand all costs, including any potential surcharges or additional fees. Here are some of the current estimates:
- Dubai to Paris: $55,000.
- London to Paris: $8,000.
- Nice to Paris: $8,000.
- New York to Paris: $65,000.
- Riyadh to Paris: $51,000.

Private Jet Charter to Paris for Roland Garros - Tips
At Roland Garros, unlike other arenas, there are no domes to shield from rain, so play stops during adverse weather. Visitors must come prepared with extra clothes or umbrellas for any possible conditions and be patient during match delays. Alcohol consumption isn't a typical practice in the stadiums; however, a dining area in the main lobby offers wine and cocktails for enjoyment before returning to the match. Spectators typically bring their culinary items, as the food options within the venue are limited to everyday items like hotdogs and hamburgers. Surprisingly, attendees are allowed and encouraged to bring their picnic spread too.
In just a short stroll from the stadium, tourists can easily access the Bois de Boulogne or explore the Auteuil botanical garden, known for its climate-friendly greenhouses. Nearby, charming house museums like Maison de Balzac or Maison La Roche also exist. For those craving cultural immersion, a visit to La Seine Musicale promises a dynamic experience, offering everything from live concerts to alfresco film viewings and captivating art displays.

Questions
Roland-Garros questions the desk gets
Which Paris airport is best for Roland-Garros?
Le Bourget is the business aviation field and the usual answer, and it is close to the city. In the tournament fortnight it is also busy, so parking and slots are the constraint rather than the flight, and the desk will sometimes route to a secondary field with a longer drive instead.
When does the French Open run?
Late May into early June, across two weeks. Demand is not even across them: the final weekend concentrates arrivals into a few hours, which is when parking at Le Bourget becomes the binding problem.
How far ahead should I book?
Months for the final weekend, weeks for the earlier rounds. The aircraft is rarely the problem; the ground slot and the parking are, and those are allocated long before the tennis gets interesting.
Can I fly in and out on the same day?
Yes, and many do, but it needs the parking arranged as a drop and go rather than a stay. On a busy day the aircraft will often reposition out and come back for you, which is in the price and worth understanding up front.
Is it cheaper to fly in the first week?
Usually, and noticeably so. Demand tracks the draw, so the opening days behave like a normal week in Paris while the closing weekend behaves like a major event. If the tickets allow flexibility, the flight rewards it.
What about ground transport during the tournament?
It is the part people underestimate. Paris traffic during the fortnight is heavy and the stadium approach is restricted, so the transfer is worth arranging with the flight rather than on arrival, and a helicopter shuttle is occasionally the faster answer.
