Questions

What discerning travellers ask

Answers grounded in real detail at Samedan, and equally useful background wherever you fly.

When was Samedan Engadin founded?

Samedan opened in 1938 in the Engadin valley and developed into the premier high-altitude gateway to St. Moritz.

How many runways does SMV have, and how long are they?

One runway, around 1,800 metres, which allows long-range jets to operate within strict high-altitude performance limits.

How busy is it?

Samedan handles around 20,000 movements a year, concentrated in the winter ski season and around the Davos summit in January.

Does it operate around the clock?

No. Samedan operates in daytime and is weather-dependent, with VFR and modern GNSS approaches rather than a conventional ILS.

Why fly private into and out of Samedan Engadin?

Samedan is the closest field to St. Moritz and the natural gateway for the ski season and the Davos summit, with private handling in a spectacular Alpine setting.

Which aircraft is right for my trip?

Samedan needs aircraft and crews qualified for high-altitude Alpine operations. A family for the ski week takes a Citation XLS or Challenger 350; long-range jets such as a Gulfstream or Global can reach it directly within performance limits. We match the cabin and crew to the day.

What does a private jet charter actually cost?

Private jet hire from Samedan Engadin is quoted per trip, by aircraft and flight time. A short Alpine hop starts in the lower thousands of euros; long-range sectors reach six figures. We settle in euros (EUR), and where you prefer, in Swiss francs (CHF) or US dollars.

Can I fly with very little notice?

Samedan is daytime and weather-dependent, with qualified crews required. For longer sectors we ask for around four hours to arrange slots, permits, and crew. A short Alpine hop can be set up in under an hour, around fifty-five minutes, weather and qualification permitting, with documents and payment ready.

How early do I need to arrive before departure?

At Samedan Engadin you typically arrive through private handling fifteen to thirty minutes before departure, step through a quiet lounge, and board directly, no queues and no public concourse. We confirm the exact timing and weather window with your final details.

What is the luggage allowance on a private jet?

A Challenger 350 carries full luggage and ski equipment for a party of eight; long-range jets take more within altitude-adjusted limits. We size the hold at quoting stage for your flight to Samedan.

Can my pet travel in the cabin with me?

Pets travel in the cabin. Switzerland applies EU-aligned rules and accepts the EU pet passport, microchip, and valid rabies vaccination; non-EU origins may need extra paperwork. Request the full document checklist for Samedan Engadin via WhatsApp.

How do I get a quote and confirm a booking?

It is simple and quick. To hire a private jet to or from Samedan Engadin, send your route details to Fly With Andreea over WhatsApp, receive option prices within minutes, and choose the aircraft that suits you. Send your travel documents, request the charter contract for confirmation, then proceed with payment. From first message to confirmed booking is often a single conversation, and we can also flag suitable empty leg flights when the timing fits.

How much does it cost to charter a private jet from Samedan?

Chartering a private jet from Samedan costs from €4,500 for a short light jet hop up to €135,500 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.

How much is a private jet from Samedan to Cannes?

About EUR 4,500 to EUR 6,000 on a light jet, roughly 0h 55m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.

How much is a 2 hour private jet flight?

As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Samedan covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.

How long is a private jet flight from Samedan to Paris?

About 1h 10m wheels up to wheels down on a light jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.

Is it cheaper to fly first class or by private jet?

For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Samedan is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.

Do you tip a private jet pilot?

It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
