Travel guide
Fly direct from London by helicopter in around 25 minutes. Guests arriving from overseas can land at Farnborough, the closest business aviation airport to Ascot.
Traffic into Ascot builds early every day. Helicopter arrivals avoid it entirely, and we arrange chauffeurs from Farnborough for those who prefer to drive.
Helicopter slots for Gold Cup Day and the Saturday finale go first. Book well ahead of the summer.
Instant estimate
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.
