Private Jet Flights Southampton
Private Jet Charter arranges on-demand private jet flights to and from Southampton, New York.
Southampton is the Hamptons at its most established — home to the historic estates of Gin Lane and Meadow Lane, Cooper’s Beach, and Shinnecock Hills on the South Fork of Long Island, about 75 miles east of Manhattan. For many owners and seasonal residents, private aviation is less about saving flight time than avoiding hours of summer highway congestion between New York City and the East End.
Throughout the peak season, demand rises sharply as executives, family offices, and leisure travelers move between Southampton, Florida, Washington, Boston, and other major business and resort destinations. Flying privately offers the flexibility to depart on your schedule, travel directly, and arrive close to your destination without the delays associated with commercial travel.
Whether you are visiting a waterfront estate, attending a golf tournament, spending the weekend aboard a yacht, or commuting between homes, our aviation advisors arrange the aircraft, schedule, and ground transportation around your itinerary. Call +1-954-727-0629 to discuss your flight.
Southampton Airports
Southampton is primarily served by Francis S. Gabreski Airport (FOK) in nearby Westhampton Beach, approximately 13 miles (15 minutes) from Southampton Village. With a runway exceeding 9,000 feet, full-service FBOs, international customs available by prior arrangement, and facilities capable of handling everything from light jets to ultra-long-range aircraft, Gabreski is the preferred airport for private aviation throughout the Hamptons. Its convenient location, excellent infrastructure, and ability to accommodate virtually every category of business aircraft make it the natural choice for flights to Southampton.
Airport options:
- Francis S. Gabreski Airport (FOK) — Primary airport for Southampton and the Hamptons. Suitable for virtually all business aircraft.
- East Hampton Airport (HTO) — About 20 minutes east. Best suited to turboprops and smaller private jets.
- Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) — Around 45 minutes west. Alternative for larger aircraft or during peak-season congestion.
How Much Does a Private Jet Charter to Southampton Cost?
Average hourly charter rates vary by aircraft category:
- $2,500–$5,000 per hour — turboprops and light jets
- $5,000–$9,500 per hour — midsize and super-midsize jets
- $8,500–$14,000 per hour — heavy jets
- $13,000–$22,000+ per hour — ultra-long-range jets
Your final price depends on several things: aircraft type, distance, repositioning, airport fees, travel dates, and demand.
Most Southampton trips are short East Coast hops — from New York, Boston, Washington, or Palm Beach — flown on light and midsize jets that suit the quick run and Gabreski comfortably. On the New York–Southampton route, repositioning costs and minimum daily charges often have a greater impact on pricing than actual flight time.
Timing matters more here than almost anywhere. July and August are the busiest and most expensive, summer weekends book out weeks ahead, and holiday periods and U.S. Open week at Shinnecock Hills tighten availability further — operators are already scaling up Hamptons support around the 2026 tournament. For peak-season travel, book early.

Top Private Jet Routes to and from Southampton
Southampton draws private travelers from across the East Coast and beyond. Some of the most requested routes include:
- New York / Teterboro ⇄ Southampton — the core route, a short hop out to the East End.
- White Plains ⇄ Southampton — another quick New York-area run.
- Boston ⇄ Southampton — steady summer weekend traffic.
- Washington, D.C. ⇄ Southampton — corporate and leisure travel to the Hamptons.
- Palm Beach ⇄ Southampton — the seasonal Florida–Hamptons route.
- Chicago ⇄ Southampton — Midwest travel to the East End.
- Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard ⇄ Southampton — inter-resort summer hops.
- Los Angeles ⇄ Southampton — a transcontinental route on super-midsize and heavy cabins.
Every one of these arrives at Gabreski, minutes from Southampton and the Hamptons beaches.
Empty Leg Flights to Southampton
Empty leg flights can be one of the most cost-effective ways to fly private. These repositioning flights happen when an aircraft has to relocate for its next charter. That lets you book the empty segment at a steep discount — often 25% to 75% below standard pricing.
The Northeast corridor sees heavy private-jet traffic all summer, with aircraft repositioning constantly between the Hamptons, New York, Florida, and New England. That movement creates regular empty-leg opportunities into and out of Southampton. The trade-off is schedule flexibility, since the original trip sets the route and dates — and in peak season, slot availability as well.

Southampton Overview
Southampton sits on the South Fork of Long Island, at the heart of the Hamptons, about 75 miles east of Manhattan. Founded in 1640, it’s one of the oldest English settlements in New York — but today it’s known as the most established of the Hamptons villages, a summer destination for New York’s wealthiest families and a byword for East Coast coastal luxury. The private travelers who fly here are largely executives, family offices, hedge fund principals, and seasonal homeowners who value direct access to the Hamptons without the delays of New York’s commercial airports.
The draw is the coastline and the lifestyle it supports. Cooper’s Beach, on Meadow Lane, is regularly ranked among the finest public beaches in the country, backed by the oceanfront estates of Gin Lane and Meadow Lane. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club — host of the 2026 U.S. Open — anchors a cluster of world-class courses that also includes Sebonack and National Golf Links. Southampton Village itself offers boutique shopping, celebrated restaurants, and institutions like the Parrish Art Museum and Southampton Arts Center.
Beyond the village, the wider East End extends the appeal: the Wölffer Estate and Duck Walk vineyards a short drive away, Sag Harbor’s waterfront to the north, and the beaches and lighthouse of Montauk further east. Private aviation demand is highly seasonal, concentrated from late spring through early fall and peaking in July and August.

Where to Stay in Southampton
- Private estates and villas — the preferred option: oceanfront and near-beach homes on and around Gin Lane, Meadow Lane, and Shinnecock Hills, arranged with staff, concierge, and transfers from the airport.
- Topping Rose House (Bridgehampton, about 20 minutes) — the area’s marquee luxury hotel, with a Jean-Georges restaurant and a spa.
- Gurney’s Montauk — a full oceanfront resort to the east, for travelers who want a hotel base with a beach and spa.
- Southampton Village boutique hotels — smaller, in-village properties for shorter stays close to the shops and beach.
