About The Open Championship
The Open Championship, simply known as ‘The Open’, is the world’s oldest golf major, first played in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club. Rotating between iconic links courses including St Andrews, Royal Liverpool, and Royal Troon, The Open offers an unmatched blend of sporting heritage and British hospitality.
The Championship’s coastal venues and premium hospitality attract a distinguished international audience arriving by private jet. UK-based clients benefit from short hops on light jets to the nearest regional FBO. Transatlantic clients lean on heavy jets such as the Gulfstream G550 to handle the seven to eight hour leg directly.
Because The Open rotates between venues, FBO selection changes each year. Edinburgh suits St Andrews, Glasgow Prestwick suits Royal Troon, and Liverpool John Lennon or Hawarden suits Royal Liverpool. Booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead is essential.

UK domestic flights start at $6,000 to $12,000 from London or Dublin. From New York, expect $105,000 to $130,000 on a heavy jet. Pricing depends on host venue and aircraft availability during Championship week.

It depends on the host venue. For St Andrews, Edinburgh is closest. For Royal Liverpool, Liverpool John Lennon or Hawarden are ideal. For Royal Troon, Glasgow Prestwick. Lineaum coordinates the right FBO based on the year's venue.
How early should I book for Open Championship week?
Book 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Regional UK FBOs near the host venue see significant slot pressure during Championship week, and aircraft positioning costs rise sharply close to the event.

Yes. Many clients pair The Open with a private golf tour across Scotland or Ireland. Lineaum coordinates multi-leg itineraries including ground transport, tee times at private clubs, and country hotel stays.
