Aero Offering LA-Napa Flights For Harvest Season
NAPA VALLEY, CA — Aero, a semi-private jet service, launched a new scheduled service between the Van Nuys and Napa County airports.
The flights are offered Sept. 20 through November, and tickets start at $725 for one way. For the price, guests can enjoy a nonstop flight that lands 15 minutes from downtown Napa.
The service was designed to be "quick, luxurious, and highly enjoyable" and offer Angelenos a new way to experience the fall weekend in wine country, Aero said in a news release.
The airline allows guests to fly with two checked bags and two cases of wine at no additional cost when returning from Napa.
"Our community has expressed interest in visiting Napa, and we've worked hard to make their dream a reality, just in time for the harvest season," said Ben Klein, CEO at Aero. "Landing next to downtown Napa just over an hour after departing Los Angeles on a scheduled flight is extremely rare. Typically, this is only possible by flying private. Aero's new service to wine country is just one example of our strategic approach to growth in 2024: we're listening to feedback from the market and responding with innovative solutions. Guests can now fly to difficult-to-reach premier leisure destinations during peak seasonal time frames."
Starting Sept. 20, the flight departs the Van Nuys airport at 3:30 p.m. and arrives in Napa at 5:40 p.m.; then departs Napa at 9:30 a.m. Sunday and arrives in Van Nuys at noon.

A new partnership with Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection and Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection completes this elevated travel experience.
Guests on Aero's new route can experience exclusive vineyard tours and award-winning tastings at Sullivan Rutherford Estate and Eisele Vineyard, two of Aero's partner wineries in Napa.
In partnership with Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection and Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection, guests flying Aero can access unique travel packages that encompass hotel accommodations, flights and activities such as geothermal pools and a multi-level sauna.

Solage and Stanly Ranch are the latest resorts to join Aero's exclusive hotel partners alongside the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal and Auberge's Hotel Jerome in Aspen.
"Our partnership with Auberge Resorts Collection lets guests enjoy the breathtaking change of season from the most high-end accommodations wine country has to offer paired with an unforgettable flight experience.
