Travel guide
Fly direct from London by helicopter in around 45 minutes, or take a light jet into Gloucestershire Airport, a few miles from the course. Oxford and Bristol suit guests coming in on larger aircraft.
Festival traffic around Cheltenham is famously slow. Helicopter arrivals at the racecourse and chauffeurs from Gloucestershire Airport take the stress out of race day.
Gold Cup Day is the busiest. Helicopters and landing slots for the Festival are booked months in advance.

The last mile
Step from your private jet straight into a waiting helicopter for the final leg, to the yacht, the estate, the golf resort or the race day.
