Hanscom Field to Palm Beach is 1,042 nautical miles, 1,199 statute miles, about 140 nautical miles further than Teterboro to Palm Beach. Every cabin flies it non-stop: about three hours in a light jet, two and a half in a super-midsize.
Most flights are seasonal. Families from Weston, Wellesley, Beacon Hill and the North Shore go down for Christmas, the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington or the whole season, and come back after Easter; executives fly down for a long weekend between. Thanksgiving week, Christmas and Presidents' Day are the weekends to book early.
Palm Beach's airport was renamed President Donald J. Trump International in July 2026, and its code changed from PBI to DJT. When the President is at Mar-a-Lago, that matters for a flight from Boston more than from New York, as the section below explains.
When the President is at Mar-a-Lago, the FAA puts temporary flight restrictions over Palm Beach, set by a NOTAM for each visit. Under the FAA's pilot briefing for the 2025 to 2026 season, private flights into DJT must first be screened by the TSA at an inbound gateway: Teterboro, Westchester, Washington Dulles, Orlando or Fort Lauderdale. Neither Hanscom nor Logan is a gateway. Departures from DJT are screened separately, at the FBOs on the field.
So on those dates there are two ways to do it. The aircraft can stop at Teterboro or Westchester, about an hour from Boston, for the passengers and bags to be screened, and fly on to DJT; in that briefing, screening runs from 8 am to 5 pm and is booked at least 24 hours ahead. Or it can fly to Boca Raton, in the outer ring of the restrictions, where arrivals need a flight plan and an assigned transponder code but no screening, or to Stuart, near the outer edge, and you drive the last half hour. The gateways, hours and rules can change with each NOTAM, so we check the current notice for your date and choose the option that costs you less time.
Hanscom Field in Bedford is the usual departure: three private terminals, Signature, Jet Aviation and Atlantic Aviation, a 7,011 ft runway for every cabin on this route and thirty to forty minutes from Back Bay, less from Lexington, Concord and Weston. Logan is ten to fifteen minutes from Back Bay and the Seaport, through Signature's terminal, with higher fees and airline traffic to fit around.
Norwood Memorial, south of the city, suits a light jet for a family from the South Shore. On a winter morning at any of the three the aircraft may need de-icing before it leaves, which takes a little time and is charged by the handler; the quote shows it as its own line.
The prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Hanscom Field to Palm Beach (DJT), for an aircraft already in Boston. They cover the flight, the crew and the fuel.
Positioning, landing and handling fees, de-icing, taxes, parking in Palm Beach and the crew's hotel if the aircraft waits are quoted separately, with a single total before you commit. A return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, Presidents' Day and Easter, expect a premium and book a week or two ahead. The flight north takes ten to twenty minutes longer in winter, into the wind.
Boston's private departures split between Hanscom Field, west of the city, and Logan, which is closer and handles the largest aircraft. Norwood serves light jets to the south.
The region's main business airport, open around the clock with customs on site. Noise rules restrict the loudest aircraft overnight.
The closest runway to the city, with customs and no weight limit. Higher fees and slot windows at peak hours.
Light jets and turboprops, daytime operations. Closest to Gillette Stadium and the south.
President Donald J. Trump International (DJT), renamed from Palm Beach International in July 2026, is the arrival for the island, Wellington and Jupiter: ten to fifteen minutes to Worth Avenue and no weight limit. Boca Raton is closer for the south of the county; Witham Field at Stuart serves the north coast.
Flying private to Palm Beach from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
The airport code changed from PBI to DJT in 2026. Open around the clock with a 10,001 ft runway and no weight limit, so VIP airliners land here too; quieter runway use is asked for at night but not enforced. US customs clears private arrivals in its own building from 8.30 am to 7.30 pm.
A 6,276 ft runway that takes jets up to large cabins, with heavier aircraft by prior approval. US customs on the field from Thursday to Monday, 10.30 am to 6.30 pm. A voluntary curfew runs from 10 pm to 7 am.
A 5,828 ft runway for light, midsize and super-midsize jets, with a voluntary curfew from 11 pm to 7 am. Customs by arrangement, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Choose the Boston airport by where you start and the Florida one by where you are going. Any pair flies non-stop in about the same time.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cambridge, Lexington, Concord, Weston and Wellesley | Hanscom Field (BED), Bedford | The region's business airport, three private terminals and the easiest parking. |
| Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the Seaport and the North Shore | Boston Logan (BOS) | Ten to fifteen minutes from Back Bay through Signature's terminal, with higher fees. |
| The South Shore, Dover and Foxborough | Norwood Memorial (OWD) | Light jets and turboprops, daytime only, and the shortest drive from south of the city. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Palm Beach island, Worth Avenue and West Palm Beach | Trump International (DJT), formerly Palm Beach International | Ten to fifteen minutes across the bridge, with four private terminals and no weight limit. |
| Wellington and the equestrian season | Trump International (DJT) | The closest airport with jet handling to the Wellington showgrounds. |
| Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach | Boca Raton (BCT) | Ten minutes from central Boca, with Atlantic and Signature, and reachable without gateway screening when Palm Beach is under flight restrictions, under the current rules. |
| Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound and Stuart | Witham Field (SUA), Stuart | About twenty-five minutes from Jupiter Island, for light to super-midsize jets. |
Drive times depend on the hour and the traffic, so we plan the car around your landing. The prices above are for Hanscom to DJT; other pairs are quoted on the same basis.
A light jet takes four to six to Palm Beach in about three hours. For three hours a midsize cabin such as the Citation Latitude is worth considering: a flat floor, room to stand and a lavatory with a door. A family going down for the season, with a winter's luggage and the dog, fits best in a super-midsize or heavy jet.
Aircraft pages for this route: Cessna Citation Latitude.
Six or seven seats and about three hours non-stop, in a Phenom 300 or Citation CJ4 from a Boston operator.
See the Phenom 300Seven to nine seats and a stand-up cabin: the Citation XLS+ or Latitude, the Challenger 350 or Praetor 600. Each also lands at Boca Raton and Stuart.
See the Citation LatitudeUp to thirteen seats and the largest hold for the season's luggage, in a Legacy 650 or Challenger 605, about two hours forty to DJT.
See the Legacy 650Palm Beach has a season, from Thanksgiving to Easter, and a handful of weeks inside it when the private ramps at DJT fill by the Thursday.
The return from Palm Beach takes ten to twenty minutes longer in winter, flying into the wind. Departures from DJT under the restrictions are screened at the FBO, so they need no extra stop.
The busiest days north are the Sunday after Thanksgiving, the first days of January and the weeks after Easter, when the season ends. Book those as early as the flight down.
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $16,500 in a light jet, $20,500 in a midsize jet, $24,500 in a super-midsize jet and $33,500 in a heavy jet, from Hanscom Field to Palm Beach (DJT). Positioning, fees, de-icing and parking are quoted separately once we know your dates.
About 3 hours in a light jet, stand to stand, about 2 hours 45 in a midsize and about 2 hours 35 in a super-midsize jet. The flight home takes ten to twenty minutes longer in winter.
Hanscom Field in Bedford for most trips: three private terminals, easy parking and thirty to forty minutes from Back Bay. Logan is closer to the city, with higher fees. Norwood suits a light jet from the South Shore.
Yes, with a plan. No Boston airport is an inbound TSA gateway for Palm Beach, so under the current briefing the aircraft either stops at Teterboro or Westchester for screening, booked at least 24 hours ahead, and flies on to DJT, or lands at Boca Raton or Stuart instead. The rules are set by NOTAM for each visit, so we check the current one for your date.
Often, outside the peak weekends. The aircraft waits at Palm Beach and the return is priced well below two one-way flights. Over Thanksgiving, Christmas and Presidents' Day, parking at DJT fills, so we confirm it with the price.
