FAQ Private Charter Services
What is a private charter helicopter with Tesla Travel?
A private charter helicopter with Tesla Travel means the entire aircraft is reserved exclusively for your group. There are no other passengers, no shared cabins, and no fixed timetables. The aircraft, the crew, and a dedicated coordinator are yours for the duration of the booking, whether that is a single transfer or a full day of flying across the Aegean.
What private charter options does Tesla Travel offer?
Tesla Travel offers six private charter formats: VIP Helicopter Hire, Full Day Charter, Half Day Rental Helicopter, Island Hopping by Helicopter, Executive Business Flights, and Marriage Proposal Flights. Each format is designed for a different travel requirement and can be fully customised around the client’s itinerary and preferences.
What is the difference between a Full Day Charter and a Half Day Rental Helicopter?
A Full Day Charter places the aircraft at your disposal for a full operating day of approximately eight hours, allowing you to visit multiple destinations with complete flexibility. A Half Day Rental Helicopter covers approximately three to four hours, ideal for a single island day trip, a coastal sightseeing flight, or a sunset experience over the Aegean. Both formats are fully private and include a dedicated coordinator throughout.
How many destinations can I visit on a Full Day Charter?
A typical Full Day Charter comfortably covers three to four destinations depending on the distance between stops and the time spent at each location. Tesla Travel recommends three stops for the best balance between coverage and enjoyment. The coordinator advises on realistic timing for each proposed stop so the day feels relaxed rather than rushed.
What is included in a Half Day Rental Helicopter package?
A Half Day Rental Helicopter includes the private aircraft for the full block, a licensed pilot with Aegean routing experience, a dedicated coordinator, private ground transfers to and from the helipad, customs and flight plan coordination for any international legs, baggage handling by the crew, and in-flight amenities on request. Everything is managed as a single package with no separate bookings required.
Can I visit Greek islands on a Half Day Rental Helicopter from Bodrum?
Yes. The most popular Half Day Rental Helicopter destinations from Bodrum are Kos and Rhodes, both of which are reachable within the half day operating window. Kos is approximately 15 to 20 minutes by helicopter and allows a comfortable morning on the island before returning to Bodrum in the afternoon. Rhodes is approximately 30 to 40 minutes each way.
How does Island Hopping by Helicopter work?
Island Hopping by Helicopter with Tesla Travel is a multi-leg private charter itinerary covering two or more Aegean destinations within a single booking. You choose the islands, the sequence, and the time spent at each stop. The aircraft travels with you between every destination. Tesla Travel manages all customs coordination, ground transfers, and logistics at each island as part of the package.
How many islands can I visit in one day with Island Hopping by Helicopter?
Three islands in a single day is comfortably achievable with Island Hopping by Helicopter. A typical one-day itinerary might cover Bodrum, Mykonos, and Santorini with meaningful time at each destination. Four islands in a day is possible but leaves less time at each stop. Tesla Travel advisors help clients balance coverage with enjoyment when designing multi-island itineraries.
What is a VIP Helicopter Hire?
A VIP Helicopter Hire is a fully private helicopter charter configured to the highest cabin standard available in the Tesla Travel fleet. It includes executive leather seating, noise-canceling headsets, enhanced soundproofing, climate control, and on-board device charging. VIP Helicopter Hire is the preferred choice for corporate clients, high-profile guests, and anyone who wants the most refined possible in-flight experience.
Can Tesla Travel arrange a Marriage Proposal Flight?
Yes. Marriage Proposal Flights are one of Tesla Travel’s most frequently requested private charter bookings. The flight is coordinated entirely in secret with the proposing partner. The aircraft is prepared with champagne and flowers before boarding. The proposal moment is timed exactly as instructed by the client. Photography coordination, post-proposal dining reservations, and onward hotel arrangements can all be included in the package.
What are Executive Business Flights?
Executive Business Flights are fully private helicopter or jet charter services designed for corporate clients, senior executives, and business travellers who require punctuality, discretion, and a productive in-flight environment. Tesla Travel Executive Business Flights operate from private terminals with no commercial airport queues, depart on the client’s schedule, and include all ground transfer coordination at both ends of the journey.
Can I combine a private charter with a catamaran crossing?
Yes. Many Tesla Travel clients combine a catamaran crossing from Bodrum to Kos with a private charter helicopter from Kos to Mykonos or Santorini. This combination, known as a combo transfer, handles the international border crossing by sea and the onward journey by private helicopter as a domestic Greek flight, significantly reducing costs compared to a direct international helicopter charter.
Are private charter flights available for sunset departures?
Yes. Sunset private charter departures are among the most frequently requested bookings across all Tesla Travel charter formats. Departure times are calculated based on the exact sunset for the client’s chosen date, positioning the aircraft above the most scenic viewpoints as the light reaches its most spectacular. Sunset flights are particularly popular for Marriage Proposal Flights, anniversary charters, and romantic sightseeing packages.
How far in advance should I book a private charter?
Tesla Travel recommends booking private charters at least two to four weeks in advance during peak season in July and August. Full Day Charters and multi-island Island Hopping itineraries that include specific restaurant reservations or event bookings at destinations benefit from even earlier booking. Outside peak season, shorter notice is generally sufficient, and same-day bookings are occasionally possible for returning clients.
How do I get a price for a private charter?
All Tesla Travel private charter pricing is provided via a personalised Live Quote delivered through WhatsApp. Send the team your travel date, departure location, destination or destinations, number of passengers, and the charter format you are interested in. A coordinator will respond promptly with a fully inclusive quote covering every element of the private charter from door to door.
