✈️ BLUE ANGELS HOMECOMING VIP GETAWAY | DESTIN + PENSACOLA | NOVEMBER 6–9, 2026
Club Wyndham Emerald Grande • Private 3-Bedroom / 3-Bath Condo • VIP Flight Line Hospitality • Boshamps Welcome Party • Roundtrip Luxury Motorcoach
⭐ 20 GUESTS. FRONT-ROW VIP. ONE INCREDIBLE AIR SHOW.
The roar of fighter jets. The precision of military aviation. Aviation marvels up close along the flight line — and the legendary U.S. Navy Blue Angels performing at their home field at NAS Pensacola.
Departure Depot is taking just 20 guests to Florida’s Emerald Coast for an extraordinary 4-day / 3-night getaway built around the 2026 NAS Pensacola Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show.
But we’re not simply taking you to the Air Show.
You’ll experience it from an exclusive MWR Flight Line Hospitality Chalet with reserved front-row show-line viewing, catered lunch, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and air-conditioned restroom facilities.
And your accommodations just got a major upgrade.
Every reservation now receives an entire private 3-bedroom / 3-bath resort condo at Club Wyndham Emerald Grande at Destin — whether you book as a Quad, Double or Solo.
Your condo is yours. It is not shared with another Departure Depot reservation.
Add a hosted welcome party at Boshamps Seafood & Oyster House, roundtrip luxury motorcoach transportation, transportation between Destin and NAS Pensacola and full Departure Depot trip support — and this becomes much more than an Air Show trip.

• Value-driven bundled packages with significant included components
• Social, active, fun-focused travel opportunities

🏨 Accommodations & Resort Partners
Accommodations are provided through third-party hospitality and resort partners.
Unit layouts, views, furnishings, décor, building location and overall resort conditions may vary by property and availability.
Photos used in marketing materials are representative of the overall destination or resort experience and may not reflect every individual unit assignment.
Guests experiencing an issue during travel should immediately notify Departure Depot staff and/or the resort directly so concerns may be addressed in real time whenever reasonably possible.
✈️ Air Shows, Special Events & VIP Hospitality
Special-event and hospitality classifications are based on venue-issued inventory, sponsor packages and event allocations.
Viewing locations, sight lines, crowd environments, event schedules, aircraft, performers and production elements may vary.

Group travel requires flexibility, patience and a positive attitude.
Transportation schedules, military-base access procedures, security policies, weather, traffic, parking, pickup/drop-off logistics and event operations may change without notice and are outside Departure Depot’s direct control.
Guests should be comfortable navigating busy environments, walking distances, crowds, stairs, uneven terrain and live-event conditions unless otherwise specifically stated.
🤝 Communication Expectations
Departure Depot works hard to support guests throughout each departure.
However, concerns must be communicated directly to our team during the trip in order to provide an opportunity for real-time assistance or resolution whenever possible.
Concerns raised only after travel has concluded may limit our ability to investigate or address operational issues.
🎉 Most Important of All
These trips are designed for guests who enjoy experiences, adventure, social connection, live events and value-based travel opportunities.
Travelers who are highly flexible, easygoing, socially positive and solution-oriented tend to have the best experiences on our departures.
