In May, the Cannes red carpet stretched from the Palais des Festivals all the way to the sea. Mr. B stepped off the Gulfstream G650 — the wind at Nice Côte d'Azur FBO carried the Mediterranean's distinctive scent of pine and salt. His wife had arrived two days early — already tried on three gowns in the sea-view suite at Hôtel Martinez, waiting for tonight's premiere red carpet moment.
From Beijing, 10 hours intercontinental. Slept on board, arrived fully refreshed. Helicopter from Nice FBO to Cannes takes just 15 minutes — half the driving time. iFlyPlus secured the Martinez sea-view room three months ahead — during the festival, prices triple and rooms are impossible to find even with money.

Why the Global Elite Choose Private Jets to Cannes
Cannes isn't just a film event — it's the annual convergence of global fame, capital, and culture. Every May, Hollywood producers, European old-money families, Middle Eastern royalty, and Asian new-money gather on both sides of this 300-meter red carpet.
For entrepreneurs who need to complete networking, fundraising, and brand promotion in this window, private aviation isn't luxury — it's infrastructure:
- Time window: The festival lasts only 10 days, but the density equals a month. Monday premiere in Cannes, Wednesday meeting with investors in Paris, Friday back for the closing ceremony
- Hotel scarcity: All Cannes luxury hotels sell out. iFlyPlus books Martinez, Carlton, Eden-Roc 3-6 months ahead
- Privacy: Global media聚集. FBO lanes ensure zero paparazzi from landing to hotel
- Flexibility: Last-minute invitation to Monaco dinner? Private jet from Nice to Monaco in 7 minutes
