A private jet from London to Nice costs between €9,000 and €55,000 one-way in 2026, depending on aircraft category. The flight takes approximately 1 hour 55 minutes from Farnborough, Biggin Hill, or Luton to Nice Côte d'Azur — the gateway airport for Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, and the entire French Riviera.
London to Nice is the busiest private aviation corridor into the South of France. The route runs year-round but peaks hard three times a year: the Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix in late May, and the summer season from June through August. For Monaco-bound travellers, Nice is the arrival airport — the Principality itself has no runway.
2026 Pricing by Aircraft
Light jets (Citation CJ4, Phenom 300E, Learjet 75): €9,000–€15,000 one-way. Four to six passengers, ideal for couples and small groups. The value choice for the route.
Midsize jets (Challenger 350, Citation Latitude, Praetor 600): €16,000–€28,000. Six to eight passengers with flat-floor cabins and full galleys — the most popular category for London–Nice.
Large-cabin jets (Gulfstream G650, Global 7500, Falcon 8X): €35,000–€55,000. Eight to fourteen passengers, master suites, and the range to continue onward non-stop to Dubai or New York.
Round-trip pricing runs roughly 1.8× the one-way rate when the aircraft waits. During Grand Prix week and the Cannes Film Festival, expect premiums of 20–40% and reduced availability — book three to four weeks ahead for those windows.

London has four serious private aviation departure points, and the right choice depends on where you are in the city.
Farnborough (FAB): The premium option — a dedicated business aviation airport with no airline traffic, the fastest ground processing in the UK, and the highest service standard. Best for departures from west and southwest London, Surrey, and Hampshire. Typically 45–60 minutes from Mayfair.
Biggin Hill (BQH): The closest private airport to the City and Canary Wharf — 30–40 minutes from the financial district. Strong FBO facilities and competitive handling fees. The default for City departures.
Luton (LTN): The highest-capacity option with multiple FBOs and 24/7 operations. Best for north London and departures when Farnborough and Biggin Hill are slot-constrained — common during event weeks.
London City (LCY): Limited private jet operations but unbeatable location for Canary Wharf and the City — 15 minutes from Bank. Worth considering for light jets on time-critical departures.
Arrival at Nice and Onward to Monaco
Nice Côte d'Azur operates dedicated business aviation terminals — Signature Flight Support and the Nice FBO handle arrivals with customs cleared in the lounge in minutes. From the aircraft steps to a waiting car or helicopter takes under 15 minutes.
For Monaco, the onward leg is a 7-minute helicopter transfer to Monaco Heliport in Fontvieille — €190–€195 per person on the scheduled Monacair shuttle, or €700+ for a private helicopter seating six. A chauffeured car along the corniche takes 30–40 minutes. During the Grand Prix and Yacht Show, helicopter seats sell out — book the transfer when you book the aircraft.
For Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez, Nice is equally the arrival airport — Cannes is 30 minutes by car, Antibes 25 minutes, and Saint-Tropez 90 minutes by road or 20 minutes by helicopter.

Empty Legs and Same-Day Returns
London–Nice is one of Europe's most active empty leg corridors. Aircraft dropping passengers on the Riviera frequently reposition empty to London — discounts of 40–70% are available for flexible travellers, particularly on Sunday and Monday returns during summer.
The route also works as a same-day return: depart Farnborough at 07:00, land at Nice by 10:00 local, a full day of meetings or a long lunch in Monaco, and home by 21:00. Day-return pricing on a light jet runs €14,000–€22,000 — the aircraft waits, avoiding overnight and repositioning fees.
