Leaving Naples

Naples airports and drive times →
APFUsual choice

Naples Airport

Naples Airport is just east of downtown, about ten minutes from Old Naples and Fifth Avenue South, about 15 minutes from Port Royal and Pelican Bay, and 35 to 45 minutes from Marco Island. The main runway is about 6,600 ft and takes every category on this page.

More about APF

Two FBOs serve the field: Naples Aviation, run by the airport authority, and Naples Jet Center. In season the ramp fills, so parking is confirmed with the operator first. The airport asks jets not to arrive or depart between 10 pm and 7 am, and operators we work with plan around it. The flight north leaves after 7 am, and a flight down from Cincinnati that would land after 10 pm goes to Fort Myers instead.

RSW

Southwest Florida International

Southwest Florida International in Fort Myers is about 45 minutes north of Old Naples on Interstate 75, longer in season traffic. Its 12,000 ft runway and separate general aviation ramp make it the airport for heavy jets, large groups, and the peak weeks when Naples has no parking left.

More about RSW

For Bonita Springs, Estero and Sanibel it is often the closer airport anyway.

Arriving in Cincinnati

LUKUsual choice

Lunken Field

Lunken Field is on the east side of Cincinnati, about 10 to 15 minutes to downtown and 10 to 20 minutes to Hyde Park, Mariemont and Indian Hill. The main runway is about 6,100 ft, fine for the light, midsize and super midsize jets on this page.

More about LUK

FBOs on the field and no airline traffic. It sits low by the Ohio River, so fall and winter mornings can fog in for an hour or two after sunrise. A late morning landing usually avoids it.

CVG

Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International

Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International is in Hebron, Kentucky, about 20 to 25 minutes to downtown Cincinnati. Its longest runway is 12,000 ft and takes every aircraft, there is an FBO on the field, and airline traffic runs all day.

More about CVG

It wins for heavy jets, for the west side and Northern Kentucky, and on the mornings Lunken is fogged in.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Naples season runs from November through April.
  • For Cincinnati the tightest weeks are Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day weekend, and the late March and early April spring breaks, when Ohio schools are out and Florida based aircraft are booked early.
  • On those dates the aircraft on this leg is often positioned in from another city, which is why a one way estimate runs wider than a round trip.
  • Summer is quieter both ways, with afternoon thunderstorms over Southwest Florida that crews plan around.
From the cockpit

What you should know

How we review the aircraft for your trip →
  1. 01

    Lunken sits in the river bottom, so fall and winter mornings can fog in. For a winter arrival, a late morning landing is the easy one. If it does not lift, CVG is the switch, decided with you that morning.

  2. 02

    This is a light jet leg for up to six with weekend bags. A midsize adds a stand up cabin and room for the golf clubs.

  3. 03

    Headed to Columbus instead? Ohio State University Airport (OSU) on the northwest side of Columbus is the usual choice. Ask and we quote it the same way.

  4. 04

    Lunken is a general aviation field with no airline terminal. You are in the car within minutes of the door opening, and downtown is close.

  5. 05

    Summer afternoons in Southwest Florida bring thunderstorms. A morning departure out of Naples usually avoids them.

Fair questions

Naples to Cincinnati questions.

How much does a private jet from Naples to Cincinnati cost?

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by category for your dates. A light jet sits at the low end and a midsize higher. A one way runs wider than a round trip because the aircraft has to get into position. Your quote will be exact once the desk reviews the trip.

Lunken or CVG?

Lunken for downtown, the east side, Hyde Park and Indian Hill, which is where the drive is shortest. CVG for heavy jets, for the west side and Northern Kentucky, and as the switch on a foggy morning. Tell us the address and we choose with you.

How far ahead should I book Cincinnati to Naples?

A few days outside of season, and a week or more for a normal week from November through April. Two to four weeks for Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day weekend and the spring break weeks, which sell out first. Same day trips happen when an aircraft is already nearby; the choice is just narrower.

Can I use this page for Cincinnati to Naples?

Yes. Flip the airports and the estimate updates for the southbound trip. The same aircraft and the same ranges apply in both directions.

What if fog closes Lunken the morning I land?

The crew watches it from the night before. Usually the fix is a later landing, or a switch to CVG decided with you that morning. That adds ten to fifteen minutes to the drive, not a lost day. Any change is worked out with the operator, and we tell you what it means for the quote before anything moves.
