PDKClosest
DeKalb Peachtree
The airport for Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs and the north side. It wins on drive time to where clients stay, it has customs on the field, and its main runway of about 6,000 feet handles light through many heavy jets.
- Buckhead15 to 20 min
- Sandy Springs15 min
- Midtown20 to 25 min
- Downtown25 to 35 min
On the ground
Several FBOs with lounges, ramp cars and hangar space, and a lot of traffic around you. Voluntary night noise rules apply, so a late arrival is planned rather than assumed. Customs on the field handles a Bahamas or Caribbean return.
FTYClosest
Fulton County
The west side. It wins for downtown, Midtown, the stadium and anything west of the connector, where it is often faster by car than PDK, and it wins as the calmer field when PDK is jammed.
- Downtown15 to 20 min
- Midtown20 to 25 min
- Buckhead25 to 35 min
On the ground
FBO service with a lounge and ramp cars, a quieter ramp than PDK, and quick access to the interstate.
ATLClosest
Hartsfield
The big airport. It wins only for the largest long range jets and for an international arrival that needs it.
- Downtown15 to 20 min
- Midtown20 to 25 min
- Buckhead25 to 35 min
On the ground
One FBO on the field with customs. Airline traffic means long taxi times and occasional holds, so allow extra time on both ends and do not use it for a 45 minute hop.
When to go
The season in Atlanta.
- Atlanta flies year round, and business travel sets the base.
- The peak weeks are Masters week in early April, when Augusta fills and PDK becomes the overflow ramp; the SEC football Saturdays in the fall; Thanksgiving week; Christmas week through New Year's Day; the spring break weeks in March and April; and Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day.
- In those weeks the aircraft based in Atlanta are spoken for early and prices sit in the upper half of the range.
- Summer weekdays outside the holidays are the easy weeks to book.

Time in the air in calm conditions, rounded to five minutes. Your quote sets the schedule.
- 01
Buckhead: PDK. Downtown, Midtown and the stadium: FTY is often faster by car, and calmer on the ramp.
- 02
PDK is busy on Friday afternoons and when weather slows the Atlanta airspace, PDK feels it too. Allow a few extra minutes on the ground.
- 03
Masters week: Augusta parking is by reservation and sells out weeks ahead. A day trip from PDK is common, and we book it as soon as you know your dates.
- 04
Nashville to Atlanta is a short flight and a long drive. A turboprop or light jet turns a four hour drive into about an hour in the air, and your emailed planning estimate shows what that costs.
- 05
Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms across north Georgia. A morning departure usually beats them.
- 06
Customs at PDK handles a Bahamas or Caribbean return. Hartsfield is only for the largest aircraft; the taxi alone can run longer than a Nashville flight.

Fair questions
Atlanta questions.
Peachtree DeKalb or Fulton County?
PDK for Buckhead, Sandy Springs and the north side, and for anything larger than a midsize jet. FTY for downtown, Midtown and the west side, where the drive is shorter and the ramp is calmer. Tell us where you are going and we pick the field with you.
Is Nashville to Atlanta worth flying private?
For a same day meeting or a game weekend, often yes. The flight is under an hour, the drive is about four, and a turboprop or light jet fits four to six people. Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range so you can decide with the number in front of you.
Can you get me to the Masters?
Yes, with notice. Augusta's parking is by reservation and sells out weeks ahead, so a Masters trip is booked as soon as you know your dates. A day trip from PDK or Nashville is common. The price sits in the upper half of the range that week, and your emailed planning estimate says so when you enter the dates.
How much does a private jet to Atlanta cost?
Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by aircraft category once you enter the other end of the trip and your dates. Nashville to Atlanta is a short leg on a turboprop or light jet at the lower end; Naples is a light jet leg a step up. Peak weeks sit in the upper half of the range. Your quote will be exact.
