Departure & Arrival Airports
New York, NY
New York City is the financial and cultural center of the United States, home to Wall Street, Fortune 500 headquarters, and world-class dining and entertainment. For private aviation, Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey is the premier choice — just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan with no commercial airline traffic and dedicated FBO terminals.

Seasonal Considerations
Winter weather (Dec–Feb) can cause delays with nor'easters and icing conditions. Spring and fall offer the best flying conditions. Summer thunderstorms can affect afternoon departures. Holiday periods see extremely high demand for private charters.
San Francisco, CA
San Francisco and the broader Bay Area is the technology capital of the world, home to Silicon Valley, venture capital firms on Sand Hill Road, and tech giants from Apple to Meta. The region's three international airports plus smaller GA fields like San Carlos provide flexible options for private aviation.

Seasonal Considerations
Bay Area fog (Karl the Fog) can affect coastal airports from June through August, particularly morning departures. Clear conditions dominate September through November. Rain season runs December through March but rarely causes multi-day disruptions.
