Nonstop coverage at this distance starts with the heavy class and gets comfortable with ultra-long-range types like the Gulfstream G650. For overnight sectors, ask specifically about berth configuration — cabins differ widely.
Best time to book
Cannes is a summer market. July and August weekends are the crunch — reserve early and expect premium pricing — while May, June and September offer the same weather with better aircraft choice and regular empty-leg opportunities.
