A Mercedes S-Class beside an aircraft: our post of 16 February 2026 referred to private arrivals and the onward journey towards the Alps. Behind the photograph is careful preparation, based on precise information and coordination with the authorised contacts.

Post of 16 February 2026 — private aviation arrival. The photographed airport is not specified.

Share the right arrival references

For a private aircraft, provide its registration, arrival airport and the contact responsible for the welcome arrangements. For a scheduled flight, the flight number is the appropriate reference. Excellence monitors delays to adapt the pickup. Please also tell us about a change of airport or itinerary.

Agree a clear meeting point

Pickup arrangements depend on the airport, terminal and local permissions. A photograph taken beside an aircraft does not promise airside access for every journey. The actual meeting point is confirmed according to the arrival arrangements. We do not identify the airport in this photograph as Courchevel: the original post referred to the destination of the stay.

Prepare the onward Alpine journey

Passenger numbers, luggage and ski equipment help us consider a suitable vehicle or combination of vehicles. For the chalet or hotel, share the complete address and, with permission, a useful contact for arrival. Journeys during the stay can then be discussed as part of the programme, subject to the arrangements confirmed in your quotation.
