“The World’s Largest Cocktail Party”

florida vs georgia in jacksonville from palm beach, fl

The annual Florida-Georgia football game, famously dubbed “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party,” is one of the most prominent and historic rivalries in college football. Since 1933, the game has been held in Jacksonville, Florida, with only a few exceptions, making it a unique neutral-site tradition. This iconic matchup brings thousands of fans to Jacksonville each year for a lively display of sportsmanship and camaraderie.

With our Same Day Game Day Experiences, you can bypass the travel headaches and join the party with unmatched efficiency. A Pilatus PC-12, a popular single-engine turboprop known for its versatility and comfort, is the ideal aircraft for this trip. It typically seats up to eight passengers in a luxurious cabin, allowing you and your group to fly directly to Jacksonville and back home on the same day, saving you from the long drive and the need for an overnight stay.

indiana vs penn state game leaving from indy

indiana
vs
penn state

Now here’s a classic example of just how challenging it is getting to places like Penn State in an efficient manner. From Indy, it would take 8 hours of driving or highly inconvenient travel times with the airlines either leaving at 6am or taking the entire travel day. You could fly to Pittsburgh but then it’s a 3 hour drive and you have to deal with the ‘rental car experience’ as well, further adding costs and hassle.

So let’s compare flying commercial vs taking an 8 seat Light Jet.

Option A: The Painful Way ~ Flying Commercial

Hotels: $3,000+ (2 nights – options very limited here)
Airfare: $700+ per person with connections and potential delays
Indy Airport Parking: $225
Ubers to/from game and around town (if even available): $250
Food & Beverage 3 days: $500

Estimated cost traveling commercial: $5,375 and 3 days of your time

Option B: The Amazing Way ~ Share a Game Day Private Jets charter with other members in your Community and be back home before 10pm!

This scenario speaks for itself. The airline options here are terrible, no other way to say it. And the hotels are pushing $1,000+ a night already (and will only go up). Flying private here makes sense both logistically and financially.

Now let’s compare flying commercial from Nashville to the UT vs Florida game in Gainesville, FL. Here, you’ll likely have a stop in ATL wasting your Friday and Sunday. Hotels are already pushing $800+ a night and will only get more expensive as we get closer to the game. We’ll use a light jet like a Citation Ultra, CJ3, or Phenom 300.

lsu vs oklahoma at norman

Trying to get to Norman, OK on a football weekend is notoriously challenging, turning what should be an exciting trip into a logistical nightmare for many. From the moment you consider your travel options, the complexities begin to pile up, often leading to frustration, lost time, and unexpected expenses. You could drive from Baton Rouge, about 9 hrs each way, or you can take your chances with connecting flights or get lucky with a non-stop from New Orleans. Either way, it’s another 3 day experience navigating the commercial airline system and expensive hotels with bumper to bumper traffic. No Thanks! This presents a great use case scenario as to why flying private to a game like this is worthwhile investment in your time and sanity.
