Get an instant quoteAbout Coachella
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is the world’s most influential music festival, set against the dramatic backdrop of the California desert. Featuring headline acts from every genre, immersive art installations, and a fashion-forward audience, Coachella has become a cultural phenomenon.
VIP experiences include exclusive artist lounges, luxury glamping, and private estate parties throughout the Coachella Valley. The festival draws a significant private jet crowd, with Palm Springs and Thermal airports handling hundreds of arrivals each weekend across the two-weekend festival format.
For West Coast clients, Coachella is one of the most accessible private aviation festivals on the calendar. The LA to Thermal hop on a Phenom 100 is a 35-minute flight under $5,500. From the Bay Area, Vegas, and Phoenix, light jets handle the route comfortably. East Coast and Florida clients lean on heavy and super-midsize aircraft for transcontinental arrivals.
