Travolta ha sido nominado dos veces al Premio de la Academia al Mejor Actor. El primero, por su papel en Saturday Night Fever y el segundo por Pulp Fiction.

Se casó con la actriz Kelly Preston en 1991. La pareja tuvo un hijo, Jett (13 de abril de 1992 - 2 de enero de 2009) y una hija, Ella Bleu, nacida en 2000. Estuvieron casados hasta la prematura muerte de Kelly a la edad de de 57 en 2020 por cáncer de mama.

Anteriormente estuvo involucrado con la actriz Diana Hyland, a quien conoció mientras filmaba The Boy in the Plastic Bubble; la relación terminó cuando ella murió de cáncer de mama en 1977.

Es piloto certificado y posee cinco aviones, incluido un avión de pasajeros Boeing 707-138 ex australiano. El avión lleva el nombre Jett Clipper Ella en honor a sus hijos. Su propiedad de 4,9 millones de dólares en la subdivisión Jumbolair en Ocala, Florida, está situada en el aeropuerto Greystone con su propia pista y calle de rodaje justo en la puerta de su casa.
