Landing in Miami, twenty minutes from South Beach

Opa-locka is the default, open around the clock with three handling agents and customs on the field. Miami International is closer still to Brickell and the only Miami runway for a VIP airliner; Fort Lauderdale is the choice for Boca Raton and the northern coast. We choose the airport around where you are staying and the aircraft around the party, then hold the slot on the winter weeks that fill the city.

When Miami fills up

Miami's season runs from November to April, and its biggest weeks fill Opa-locka's ramp days ahead.

  1. December Art Basel Miami Beach The busiest private-aviation week in the United States. Slots, parking and hotel suites go a month out.
  2. December to January Christmas and New Year The peak of the winter season, with the Caribbean and the Bahamas as onward legs.
  3. February Miami International Boat Show Yacht owners and builders in for the week; Opa-locka is full.
  4. March Ultra and spring break A young crowd but a real surge in light and midsize traffic.
  5. May Miami Grand Prix Race weekend at Hard Rock Stadium. Aircraft position in from the whole hemisphere; book early and expect slot windows.

On the ground in Miami

Passport details go to the handler before you land, the car is on the ramp at Opa-locka, and the boat, the suite or the table are arranged in the same conversation as the flight.

01

Immigration and customs

International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection at the FBO at Opa-locka, Miami International or Fort Lauderdale, usually in minutes. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities.

02

Travelling with a pet

Pets travel in the cabin. Entering the US, a dog needs a microchip, a CDC import form and a rabies vaccination record from most countries; we arrange the paperwork with the handler.

03

The car

A chauffeured car meets the aircraft on the ramp at Miami-Opa locka Executive or whichever airport you land at, and the driver knows the private terminal, not the commercial one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet to Miami cost?

It depends where you leave from. Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $12,500 from Washington in a light jet, about $14,500 from New York, about $28,000 from Los Angeles in a midsize jet, about $91,000 from London and about $86,000 from Paris in a heavy jet non-stop. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Which airport should I use for a private jet to Miami?

Opa-locka for South Beach, Brickell and Coral Gables, twenty to thirty minutes away with customs on the field. Miami International for downtown, Brickell and VIP airliners, fifteen to twenty minutes from Brickell. Fort Lauderdale for Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and the northern coast. Each is described above with its drive time and handling agents.

Can I charter a jet to Miami the same day?

From the East Coast, usually yes: a light jet from New York, Washington or Atlanta can often depart within a few hours, and aircraft are based at Opa-locka for the return. From London or Paris, twenty-four hours is the realistic minimum because of crew duty times and customs notice, though we have done it faster.

How long is a private jet flight to Miami?

About 2 hours 15 from Washington, about 2 hours 40 from Dallas, about 2 hours 45 from New York, about 4 hours 45 from Los Angeles, about 9 hours from London and about 9 and a half hours from Paris non-stop. Westbound flights across the Atlantic are longer than the return because of the jet stream.

How do immigration and customs work when I land in Miami?

International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection at the FBO at Opa-locka, Miami International or Fort Lauderdale, usually in minutes. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities; we confirm when we book and send passport details to the handler in advance.

When is Miami hardest to fly into?

Art Basel Miami Beach in early December, the busiest private-aviation week in the United States; the fortnight from Christmas to New Year; the Miami International Boat Show in February; and the Miami Grand Prix in May. On those dates Opa-locka's parking goes a month out, so we book the slot with the flight and hold Fort Lauderdale as the fallback.

Can I pay for the charter with crypto?

Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.

Where would you like to fly?

Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
