Holiday Jet Travel Takes Off from Scottsdale

November has always been a busy month at Scottsdale Airport, but 2025 is shaping up to be one of the strongest holiday seasons yet. With Thanksgiving and early winter getaways approaching, local travelers are turning to private jet charter for flexibility, comfort, and reliability during a time when commercial flights are often delayed or sold out.

Top Private Jet Destinations from Scottsdale This Month

The most in-demand routes for November flights from Scottsdale include both cold-weather and warm-weather favorites. Families are booking ski trips to Aspen, Vail, and Telluride, while others are heading south to Cabo San Lucas or Palm Beach for sunny, resort-style escapes. Short-range hops to Los Angeles and San Diego remain popular for quick business or leisure weekends before the year’s end.

Why More Travelers Are Choosing Private Jet Charter

Private charter continues to be the preferred choice for Scottsdale residents seeking efficient and personalized travel. With on-demand flights, travelers can bypass crowded terminals, arrive minutes before departure, and land closer to their final destination. For families traveling with children or pets, the ability to bring luggage and gifts without restriction adds another layer of convenience.

Trends Shaping November 2025 Travel

According to recent booking data, private departures from the Phoenix–Scottsdale area are up nearly 20 percent compared to last year. The combination of early snow in the Rockies and strong resort bookings in Mexico has pushed travelers to secure aircraft earlier than usual. Light and midsize jets—such as the Citation Excel and Hawker 800XP—are the most requested models for holiday flights, balancing cabin comfort and cost efficiency.

Planning Ahead for the Holidays

Charter availability typically tightens two weeks before Thanksgiving. To ensure the best rates and preferred aircraft, Scottsdale travelers are encouraged to finalize their holiday plans early. Whether it’s a family gathering in Colorado or a beachfront Thanksgiving in Cabo, private charter ensures the journey is as relaxing as the destination.
