Nine hours non-stop from Farnborough or Luton to Opa-locka, with the afternoon still ahead of you in Miami. Ultra-long-range cabins fly it without a stop; heavy jets refuel in the Azores or Bermuda. Indicative one way from $91,000 for the whole aircraft in a heavy jet with one stop, or from $120,000 non-stop in an ultra-long-range jet.

At 4,430 miles London to Miami is a genuine long-haul flight, and the choice of cabin decides whether it is one leg or two. A Gulfstream G650 or Global 6000 flies it non-stop in about nine hours; a Falcon 900 or Legacy 650 stops for fuel, usually in the Azores or Bermuda, and lands about an hour and a half later.
The five-hour time difference works in your favour westbound. A late-morning departure from London lands in Miami mid-afternoon local time, in time for dinner on the water. Opa-locka's private terminal clears customs in minutes and puts you in Brickell or South Beach twenty minutes later.
Miami is a base for a great many large-cabin aircraft, so the return leg prices well, and a round trip with the aircraft waiting a few days in Florida is often the better value than two one-ways.
Which airport to leave from and which to land at are set out in our guides to the private jet airports in London and the private jet airports in Miami: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew, fuel and the fuel stop where one is needed; overnight parking in Miami, repositioning and handling are quoted separately.
A return with the aircraft waiting in Florida is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Heavy jets refuel in the Azores or Bermuda, adding about ninety minutes to the journey.
London has more private airports than any other city in Europe. The choice comes down to where you start, how late you want to leave, and how large the aircraft is.
Private jet airports in London compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The UK's only dedicated business aviation airport. Open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends, so a late flight means Luton or Stansted.
Open around the clock, with a slot for every flight; night slots are rationed to the quietest aircraft. Takes large cabins.
Six-minute helicopter to Battersea. Open 6.30 am to 11 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 10 pm at weekends.
The longest runway around London, so the usual home for Boeing and Airbus business jets. Open around the clock by slot, with restricted nights.
Opa-locka is the Miami private airport for most arrivals: twenty minutes from Brickell and South Beach with customs on site. Miami International suits VIP airliners; Fort Lauderdale is the choice for Palm Beach-bound guests.

Which Miami airport to land at: the private jet airports compared
Miami's busiest private airport, with customs on the field from 9 am to midnight. Its terminals take aircraft up to Boeing Business Jets.
The closest runway to Downtown and Brickell, with Signature's private terminal and customs around the clock at the General Aviation Center.
Among the 25 busiest private jet airports in the US, with customs from 8 am to 11.30 pm. The heaviest jets need prior permission for its 6,002 ft runway.
Open around the clock, with customs 24 hours in a building attached to the Sheltair terminal. Jetscape hangars airliner-sized aircraft.
Non-stop London to Miami needs an ultra-long-range cabin. A Gulfstream G650 does it with margin to spare; the Global 6000 and Falcon 8X do the same. Heavy jets fly the route with one fuel stop, which trades ninety minutes for a lower price, and VIP airliners carry the largest groups from Stansted or Luton.
Aircraft pages for this route: Dassault Falcon 7X, Bombardier Global 6000, Dassault Falcon 8X, Gulfstream G550, Airbus ACJ320neo.
Thirteen to sixteen seats, a full galley and a bedroom on the largest cabins. The Gulfstream G650 flies London to Miami in about nine hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Twelve to fourteen seats and a stand-up cabin. A Legacy 650 refuels in the Azores and lands ninety minutes behind the non-stop cabins at a lower price.
See the Legacy 650Eighteen seats and above in the Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet, with bedrooms and a full galley, from Stansted or Luton.

The return leaves from Opa-locka, Miami International or Fort Lauderdale and lands at whichever London airport suits the rest of your day. Eastbound the jet stream helps: allow about eight and a half hours non-stop, and the overnight departure lands in London early afternoon.
Farnborough closes at 10 pm and Biggin Hill at 11 pm, so a morning arrival from Miami suits every London airport; an evening departure from Miami arrives overnight and usually means Luton or Stansted. During Art Basel and the winter season, Opa-locka's departure slots are the scarce resource, so we secure the return when we book the outbound.
Flying into London from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to London.
We do not own a fleet. Each London to Miami flight is chartered for your trip from an operator on our platform. This is how we choose it, price it and check it, and what you agree to when you book.
We source through our platform, a global network of operators, and every operator is verified on its safety accreditations before it can join. For your date we look for aircraft that can fly Farnborough to Miami-Opa locka Executive, or the airports you prefer, and match them to the passengers, the luggage and the times you send. On this route that is anything from a heavy jet to a VIP airliner, as in the price table above.
You receive a short list of aircraft, each priced for the whole aircraft on your dates and from your airports, with our margin included. A quote holds for 24 hours from when we send it, because aircraft positions and permits change quickly. Costs added later are only those the flight turns out to need: de-icing if the route or the weather calls for it, catering you add, or extra cleaning when a pet flies.
Before an aircraft is offered, its operator confirms that your luggage fits the hold, and we agree the airports and the timings with them. The cabin is chosen for the passengers' comfort, not just the seat count. Catering is agreed a few days before the flight and cars are timed to the aircraft at both ends.
You pay by bank transfer or crypto. A deposit may be needed, usually 20%, and the full cost is due at least 48 hours before the flight, or at the latest three hours before departure for a flight the same day. Cancelling within 48 hours of the flight usually makes the whole cost payable. Terms vary with the operator and the flight, and you receive them in full before you sign; nothing is booked until you do.
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 $91,000 in a heavy jet; about $120,000 in a ultra-long-range jet; about $215,000 in a vip airliner. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates, and a return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
About 9 hours flight time, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Every cabin class listed flies it without a stop.
From London: Farnborough, London Luton, Biggin Hill and London Stansted. Into Miami: Miami-Opa locka Executive, Miami International and Fort Lauderdale. Each is described above with its drive time and the operators that handle private flights there.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We coordinate chauffeured cars on both ends, so a car meets you at the aircraft in Miami and the driver knows the airport's private terminal.
Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
