It’s winter on the Gold Coast. In the Mediterranean, the season is just firing up.
Every year a few Airly members swap the Broadwater for Europe. The names at the top of their list never change. The names at the bottom are the interesting part, and most people never hear about them.
The Five everyone books
- Saint-Tropez, French Riviera: Everyone sees the marina. The regulars vanish into the back lanes. GlobeAir flies straight into La Môle, the little strip behind the hills, so you skip the crawl down from Nice.
- Costa Smeralda, Sardinia: Granite coast, water you can see straight through, Porto Cervo in the middle of it. Land at Olbia and you’re on the sand in twenty minutes.
- Lake Como, Italy: The lake, the old villages, the boats between them. Fly into Milan. The water is an hour north and worth every minute.
- Capri, Italy: No cars. No compromise. No interest in changing. Fly into Naples or Salerno, then cross by water.
- Palma de Mallorca, Spain: Old town, working harbour, a mountain range standing guard behind it. GlobeAir flies you straight into Palma.
The three they keep quiet
Now the ones people only mention once they trust you. The spots the seriously wealthy pick when they want no one to find them.
Comporta, Portugal: An hour south of Lisbon. Rice fields, pine, sand tracks, not a high-rise in sight. It has stayed low on purpose, and the people who go there like it that way. GlobeAir flies into Lisbon.
Paros, Greece: Everyone fights over Santorini and Mykonos. Paros sits right between them. Same white villages, a fraction of the crowd. Fly into Santorini, ferry across.
The Aeolian Islands, Italy: Seven volcanic islands off the top of Sicily. Stromboli still smokes after dark. Salina is vineyards, caper bushes and silence. Fly into Catania, then it’s a boat north.
How the wealthy actually pull this off
Airly recommends GlobeAir for Europe, and the fit is almost too neat. They fly light jets, including the Citation Mustang, the exact aircraft that anchors the Airly jet card at home.
One operator. The plane, the maintenance, the trip, all under the one roof. Available around the clock, across more than 984 airports in Europe. And if your dates can flex, their empty leg flights drop the price without touching the aircraft or the service.
The Airly jet card was never just about flying the Australian East Coast. It’s having one point of contact across a scattered field of small operators, and a program that makes private flying accessible, honest and straightforward to price. You talk to us. We handle the rest. That’s the part worth having before you go anywhere.
For the European leg, GlobeAir takes it from there. Book straight through them. Same class of jet, same standard, a long way from home.
Planning a European summer? Talk to the Airly team about your east coast departure and we’ll connect you with GlobeAir for the rest. One conversation. Both sides of the world covered.
