Prices climb in the week of the fair. Bringing a few guests turns a light or midsize jet into a sensible cost per seat.
How to plan your Art Basel trip
The fair is busiest in its first hours. A smooth arrival gives you time with the works before the crowds.
- Arrive the day before your preview pass
- Choose the Swiss exit at the EuroAirport
- Plan art shipping separately, a jet hold is small
- For Miami, book Opa Locka early, it fills for the satellite fairs
- Combine Basel with Zurich, Milan or Paris galleries in one trip
Send us your fair days and the cities you want to combine. We will price each leg.
