Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
Experience luxury with a private jet charter to the Westminster Dog Show May 11-14, 2024.

- Featured Events Directory
- Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
Long-running Tradition
Next to the Kentucky Derby, the Westminster Dog Show is the second-longest continually held sporting event in the US. One of the main purposes of the event is to evaluate prized breeding stock to ensure a high standard is maintained for future generations.
Of the 2,500 purebreds that compete in the two-day event, only one in each category will earn the prestigious honor of a Best in Breed title. Of those champions, only seven will earn coveted Group awards:
- Sporting
- Hound
- Working
- Terrier
- Toy
- Non-sporting
- Herding
And, of course, there is the Best in Show honor that goes to the overall ‘top dog.’
Exclusive Travel to an Exclusive Event
If there were a word to describe the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, it would be ‘exclusive.’ The same can be said for those who choose private jet services as their mode of luxury air travel to New York City.
Both spectators and participants travel from all over the US for Westminster. While some might only have a short-haul to reach NYC, others must travel vast distances. This can be stressful on the animals. With so much at stake, some owners choose to use private jet services to transport their pedigree pooches. Stratos Jets is adept at organizing air travel for people with pets, making special arrangements so that your dog has a comfortable place within the cabin of the private plane.
Recommended private jets for your charter flight to New York City
Whether you're flying on your own or with your purebred in anticipation of this year's show, Stratos can arrange transportation on the most luxurious and safest aircraft in the sky.

For the Westminster show, you have a choice of several airports that are all within about 45 minutes of Tarrytown, New York: La Guardia (LGA), Teterboro (TEB), Newark Liberty (EWR) and White Plains Airport (HPN).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I choose the right aircraft for my mission?
As charter brokers, we do more than simply book your charter flight. At Stratos Jets, our air charter associates are highly trained personnel capable of matching our clients with the appropriate aircraft for their travel needs. Once we determine how many passengers you’re travelling with and how far you’re flying, we can determine which category of aircraft you require. There are many options available. The most common aircrafts hired for private charters include:
- Cessna’s Citation X
- Gulfstream’s G650
- Bombardier’s Global line
After that, we can help you narrow down the selection of recommended aircraft based on budget, desired cabin amenities, airport requirements, luggage capacity, as well as aircraft age and performance capabilities.
Staying Safe in the Skies
At Stratos Jets, air charter safety is our number one concern. One of our key policies is to increase consumer education. This ensures our clients are able to make informed decisions. We also work with our aircraft providers to ensure their safety training programs meet and even exceed our air charter safety requirements. To make this happen, Stratos Jets is an ARGUS Certified Broker. This means that our brokerage firm is:
- Committed to the best industry practices
- Adhering to all applicable safety regulations
- Maintaining the appropriate insurance coverage required
-
Are there additional costs per private jet rental passenger?
There are no additional costs per passenger. At Stratos Jet Charters, we base our private jet rental prices per hour, not per guest.
The Stratos Pricing Estimator
If you would like to estimate the cost of a private jet charter, use our Stratos pricing estimator page. It lists the most common estimates based on destination and aircraft type. And you can always enter customized data to get an estimate for a specific destination.
Additional Concierge Charges
We do charge for some of our additional concierge services, such as in-flight catering and entertainment, hotel bookings and ground transportation. We know our clients’ time is precious, so we offer the value and convenience of “one-stop-shopping” through our Trip Support team. When you book a flight with Stratos Jet Charters, we can take care of all the logistics, including booking hotels, meeting spaces, limousines and tickets to special events. That way you can relax, and enjoy your trip.
Empty Leg Charters
Also, since we charge per hour, not per passenger, there are travel bargains to be found with our Empty Leg Flights. Many of our private jet rental flights are one-way, and then we need to move the aircraft to a new destination. To reduce the costs of flying an empty aircraft, we offer discounts to travelers with flexible itineraries. Clever passengers will sometimes split the cost with their fellow travelers, thereby reducing the cost for everyone on the flight.
-
Can I make last-minute changes to my itinerary?
If your plans need to change, we will do everything in our power to accommodate the changes. One of the benefits of hiring Stratos Jet Charters is that we have much more flexibility than commercial airlines and can provide many more air charter services.
We have two teams that can help you. Here is a brief description of each:
Charter Sales Agents
This is the initial contact team. They evaluate your travel needs to identify the appropriate aircraft type for your travel plan. Pricing is determined by aircraft availability, its position related to the intended departure location and the position of where the aircraft needs to be after performing the customer’s flight.
Trip Support Team
Once the aircraft has been selected, Trip Support works with the customer, the air carrier and all concierge service providers to organize all of the travel details. Trip Support is responsible for coordinating:
- Departure time
- Departure and arrival at the Fixed Base departure location
- Ensuring assigned crew members meet Stratos experience requirements
- Making sure the insurance is current and everyone is protected
- Coordinating all concierge services
In reference to last-minute itinerary changes, any changes would go through the Trip Support Team.
Our customers often have demanding flight itineraries that can change quickly. They’ve come to appreciate knowing there’s an entire team of people focused on organizing all the details of their trip. Stratos Jet Charters wants to provide our clients with consistently outstanding air charter service and an impeccable safety record.

The folks at Stratos are among the most client oriented firms I work with. They are prompt, polite and always do their best to accommodate me and my guests. Keep it up!

Everything went off smoothly and everyone I worked with at Stratos was very patient and helpful. Our small group felt very special! What a treat and yes I’d recommend Stratos to anyone.
Anne G.
Steve and Stratos Jet haven’t once disappointed our family! The service is impeccable, communication is divine and we always feel safe flying with Stratos. Thank you all for constantly humoring me with all of my itinerary changes. I would highly recommend Stratos as well as Steve Stogner to anyone with high level travel needs!
Andy S.
I have already recommended your firm to a friend and will continue to do so assuming, of course, my future travels with you remain consistent with my inaugural experience
Chip L.
Glenn and Stratos do a great job finding the right aircraft and keeping us up to date.
Jeff P.
Would highly recommend anyone looking for charters to contact Stratos. Their team was second to none in handling our request from first call to post flight. The CEO was even kind enough to phone me to ensure that we had located our crew at the FBO just prior to departure. I have run multiple aircraft in flight departments for many years and can truly say that its hard to find this level of professionalism in the business.
Keith G.
Everything was lovely, no hiccups. One piece of advice, when travelling to Turks and Caicos, make sure you have a clear address for your destination. The customs officer held us for twenty-five minutes trying to figure out where we were staying. That was a little frustrating, but it all worked out. We will most definitely use Stratos for our next trip.

The passengers we flew had a great experience and were pleased with the flight. Jim Hensley American Jet Charter, Inc

Appreciate Glenn's attention to detail and follow up. He is great to work with.

Fantastic experience as always with Stratos! Joel and his team found us a great flight with a brand new airplane that accommodated all of our family and our schedule. The value can’t be over stated Joel always places us with the right equipment for the right trip
Jack Lambert
You guys are great! Keep em coming
Eric Sanchez
Always awesome working with Kerry!
Judy M.
Kerry absolutely gets an A+ in customer service. Very well run jet service company.
Max C.
Everything worked out great. Working with Stratos was seamless. When the Trump TFR foiled our plans on both the outbound and inbound legs, Stratos was proactive in finding the best solution for us and minimized the disruption to the timing of our itinerary while also remaining flexible to our schedule as well. Joel could not have been easier to work with, finding us the best options at the best prices.
Nathalie R.
We needed to book a same-day plane for employees and tools to provide urgent assistance to a customer. Zach was effective, proactive and cooperative in providing a solution, precise information and updates. Would recommend Stratos Jet anytime! Thank you!
Nicole M.
I could not ask for more, I love using Stratos and will never use anyone else!

tks.
Phil W.
My wife received treatment for cancer in Tijuana. It wasn’t possible to bring her home on a commercial flight. I reached to several charter services and Kyle at Stratos was so helpful. He immediately responded to my request and answered all my questions. He stayed engaged with us through the entire trip. The next time I need to charter a plane I will only make call. Stratos!! Great experience!!! Phil
Diane H.
Simon was Great. There is nothing that cold have been better.
Carol C.
Trip was perfect.
Stewart G.
Pilot did a terrible job of synchronizing the engines. It was bad enough at one point that the two guest passengers were worried we would need an emergency landing. I have flown on Hawkers for 15 years now and never had that experience. Crew was very nice, but the pilot needs some instruction. It was very disconcerting.
Virginia D.
Always a wonderful experience with Stratos: great flight crew, excellent catering menu, comfortable plane.
Steve R.
All went well on the flight. Great pilot crew both ways.
William B.
Glenn and the team constantly exceed expectations. Nothing is too much bother. Every detail is taken care of. The crew and operators are always well briefed. Thanks team!
Heather Converse
Great Trip Support Team We love working with Stratos Jets! They are fast to respond, reasonable to work with, and their brokers and trip support team are very detail oriented which leaves little room for error. I would highly recommend them!
Rose D.
It was excellent in every respect
T. G.
Joel and his team at Stratos provided outstanding service during a time when air travel was challenging. In March 2020, Stratos was able to source an aircraft for my family with 24 hours notice. More importantly, when that aircraft arrived with a maintenance issue that occurred on landing, Joel and his team worked diligently to find us another aircraft within a few hours. He and his team went above an beyond to help us out. We highly recommend Stratos.
Sara P.
Working with Kerry Hill and Joel A. Thomas from Stratos is always a pleasure for us at Regency. There is clear communication from start to finish. Client expectations are laid out, so that we can work our best to execute them. They communicate with us in a timely manner, and of course expect the same from us. Their clients are respectful of our jets and our crews. We definitely enjoy partnering and are looking forward to many more come 2023!
Lashonda R.
Always a pleasure to work with Steve!
Lisa B.
Kyle was attentive and excellent throughout our experience using Stratos Jets. He was prompt in getting estimates and selecting an appropriate aircraft through helping me understand how the process works right through the day of the flight as he helped walk me through where our plane, crew, and passengers were along the way. I would highly recommend Stratos Jets. They were prompt, thorough, precise, and went above and beyond from start to finish.
James M.
yes!
Mathieu C.

Malachi O’Neill
Very professional, very knowledgeable - truly care about their clients. Stratos is always very good to work with. When one of their requests come in we know we will be treated equitably, politely, and professionally, as the Operator. The Stratos team is always friendly and thorough. The Stratos Guests are always very good to our Flight Crews, which we appreciate very much. I would highly recommend Stratos Jet Charters. Malachi Mountain Aviation.
Esther R.
I really don't have a basis for comparison since this was my first experience with a charter but I was extremely pleased with the service.
Eddie D.
I have dealt with Stratos Jet for the past 10 years Always great response and outstanding service Highly recommend them for any charter service you may need
Shaundra G.
Great experience overall. Communication is always great and solving any unforeseen issues has always been a breeze.

The service was absolutely 1st class... I was very satisfied and would recommend this company and agent to anyone.
Larnell B. E.
From the first email until the time we were wheels down in St. Thomas, the responsiveness, service, professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. There is absolutely no chance I will ever use anyone else and I will be sure to share my experiences with my colleague’s here on Capitol Hill and in my professional and personal circles. A special acknowledgement to Glenn, for everything he did to make this a seamless business experience! Regards, Larnell Director, Travel, Security and Facilities,
Joe Stephenson
Always a pleasure to work with you all. Please let me know about the app you've developed. Thanks, Joel. Sincerely, Joe Stephenson Merlin One
Adam W.
Our company jet had a mechanical problem and we had a very important meeting that our passsengers had to make. Joel was able to locate and reposition an airplane for us in a matter of two hours. Our passengers were able to make their meeting and were very pleased with the aircraft/crew that was selected. Good work.
JENNIFER D.
Anthony was amazing! He was compassionate, detailed, attentive, proactive and so many other things that I could not begin to put into words for our complicated travel situation. The flight crew was amazing for the journey and ground crew and the ops crew saved my family. I can never put into words how much I appreciate Anthony and the Stratos Team. We will never think of using another charter company for any of our needs! Thank you so much!
Carol C.
We had a great flight. I greatly appreciated Zach calling to let me know the address of the gate had changed. I did get an email with the update but it didn't show up in my inbox til I was driving to the airport. We had a great flight with no issues. The crew were very helpful when and if we had any questions.
