Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Fly into: HYA / KHYA
Many private jet flyers head east to places like Cape Cod for the summer. It’s full of lighthouses, seafood shacks, beautiful beaches, and, of course, ice cream! While swarmed with delicious dessert destinations, we recommend checking out Four Seas Ice Cream. Four Seas has been serving homemade ice cream since 1934, so you know it’s good! With many transportation options available on-site at Cape Cod Gateway Airport (HYA), you can get from the airport to Four Seas in just 10 minutes. Flying into Cape Cod on a Turboprop? Check out your options here, then try the flavor of the week before walking to the beach to watch the sunset.

Bar Harbor, Maine
Fly into: BHB / KBHB
This summer haven is best known for its lobster, but don’t underestimate the ice cream offerings in Bar Harbor. The Maine coastal town is easily accessible by private flight. Once there, check out Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream. With Food and Wine calling it “America’s Top 25 Ice Cream Parlors”, you won’t want to miss trying out Mt. Desert’s Maine Sea Salt Caramel flavor. Their commitment to quality and real ingredients is evident: they only make their ice cream in five-gallon batches! Flying into Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport (BHB) is simple for private charter passengers. Beat the traffic and fly direct to Bar Harbor on a Pilatus PC-12.
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Fly into: ACK / KACK
No ice cream journey is complete without a trip to Nantucket. Because of the short flight from the northeast, Nantucket is one of the most popular destinations to travel to among Fly Louie customers. Since it’s an island, Nantucket is best accessible by private charter. We recommend none other than The Juice Bar. After trying a hand-rolled waffle cup filled with a homemade flavor of choice, check out our guide to a weekend in Nantucket.

West Palm Beach, Florida
Fly into: PBI / KPBI
Are you interested in traveling to the sunshine state this summer? Book a private charter flight on the popular Palm Beach route. Once there, cool off with a sandcastle sundae, milkshake, or ice cream float at Sloan’s. With two locations in West Palm Beach and a Top #10 Ice Cream Parlor ranking in USA Today, you’ll want to hop right off your private aircraft and over to Sloan’s, just 10 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport!

Vail, Colorado
Fly into: EGE / KEGE
Prefer the mountains over the beaches for the summer? Take a longer flight and get out of the heat. Head west on a private plane for great hiking trails and ice cream! While Vail is most popular in the winter for skiing, it is also a desirable destination for summer family fun like biking, fishing, golf, or even mountain top yoga. For the most comfortable experience, you will want to travel to Vail via private charter. After expending your energy on outdoor activities, you’ll need to indulge in a treat at Sundae located right in the Vail Village. Feeling even more adventurous after all that fun? Try a cone with chai ice cream or avocado-coconut! Before you head back on a Midsize Jet, grab an artisan ice cream sandwich to-go to enjoy on a nonstop flight in the comfort of a private plane.
Napa, California
Fly into: APC / KAPC
Wine isn’t the only thing you can go to Napa for this summer! Many people fly private to Northern California seeking beautiful vineyards and amazing restaurants. If you want to plan a wine and ice cream tour, charter a private flight to Napa with Fly Louie for the ultimate safe and convenient travel experience. On your trip, you’ll want to make sure you visit the Oxbow Public Market for some sweet spots. Try Lappert’s Ice Cream for waffle cones and sundaes, or Gott’s Roadside for a California Burger followed by a Cookies & Cream milkshake.
