Airport transfers and getting around
From the airport to your stay
Arrange the final transfer before the flight is confirmed. Give the driver or onward operator the handling location, flight details and actual property address. Leave room between landing and a timed tour or meeting, especially when arrival includes border formalities.
Ask the operating carrier to confirm aircraft suitability, handling and permissions for the actual itinerary. For budgeting, see our private jet charter cost guide.
What to do in Savannah
Exploring Savannah
Explore the squares on foot rather than moving between every stop by car. Forsyth Park and the riverfront offer different settings, while museums and historic houses provide context for the streetscape. Tybee Island is a separate coastal outing; leave time for the drive and seasonal traffic.
Questions about visiting Savannah
Which airport should I consider for Savannah?
Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (SAV / KSAV) is the gateway used in this guide. The operator should compare it with any suitable alternatives for your exact itinerary and confirm acceptance of the proposed aircraft.
When is a good time to visit Savannah?
March–May and October–November generally offer comfortable walking conditions. Summer heat and humidity are significant, with Atlantic storms a seasonal consideration.
Does the private flight include the final transfer?
The aircraft charter and the road, boat or onward-air transfer are separate arrangements unless the written proposal specifically combines them. Confirm the final address, handling point and any connection before accepting the itinerary.
How should I plan a short stay?
Allow an arrival period, one full day for the main Savannah programme and a departure buffer. Longer excursions or several bases need additional days; the flight schedule should follow the stay you want rather than forcing every activity into a short gap.
