The Open Championship 2026 by Private Jet: Your Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information to plan your trip to Royal Birkdale with peace of mind.

01

What are the exact dates for The Open Championship 2026, and how does a private jet optimize this period?

The Open Championship 2026 will take place from Thursday, July 16 to Sunday, July 19, 2026, with practice days preceding the event from July 12 to 15. A private jet allows you to tailor your schedule precisely to the rounds you wish to follow, avoid queues, and maximize your time on-site, whether for competition days or practice days.

02

Which airport is most recommended for traveling to Royal Birkdale by private jet?

The most convenient airport is Manchester Airport (MAN), located approximately 50 miles from Royal Birkdale, a 45 to 60-minute drive. It is an international hub with comprehensive FBO services, including Signature Flight Support, and direct road access via the M6. London Luton (LTN) or Bristol (BRS) airports are more distant alternatives, requiring longer transfers or a helicopter.

03

What VIP or hospitality experiences are typically available at The Open Championship?

The Open Championship traditionally offers a range of premium hospitality experiences, from private lodges with views of iconic greens to packages including gourmet meals and exclusive access. These offers are ideal for networking or enjoying the tournament in a privileged setting. It is advisable to consult The Open’s official website for specific details on the 2026 edition.

04

Should specific flight slots be planned for private jets around The Open 2026?

Yes, due to the anticipated crowds (over 250,000 visitors), private jet flight and parking slots at nearby airports like Manchester (MAN) can become limited. Early booking of your flight and transfer is highly recommended to secure your preference and avoid any logistical constraints, especially for the main competition days (Saturday and Sunday).

05

Is it possible to combine a visit to The Open with other destinations in the UK or Europe?

Absolutely. The flexibility of a private jet allows you to integrate The Open Championship into a broader itinerary. For example, you could start with a few days in London (LTN) for business or leisure, then fly directly to Manchester (MAN) for the tournament, before continuing to other European cities. We can arrange a bespoke itinerary to optimize your stay.

The Event: The Open Championship 2026 at Royal Birkdale

Royal Birkdale Golf Club will host the 154th edition of The Open Championship from July 16 to 19, 2026. This will be the eleventh time this legendary course in Southport, Merseyside, has been the venue for this golf major, the last being won by Jordan Spieth in 2017. Known for its challenging par 70 links course and coastal winds, Royal Birkdale promises a formidable test for the world’s best golfers and an unforgettable spectacle for spectators. Over 250,000 people are expected for this major event. For more information, visit the official Open website.

Planning Your Private Jet Arrival
