Two and three-quarter hours from Teterboro to Opa-locka, twenty minutes from South Beach. The most flown private route on the East Coast, in every cabin from a light jet up, with aircraft based at both ends.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
New York to Miami is 1,090 miles, which a light jet flies non-stop in under three hours and a heavy jet in about two and a half. It is the East Coast's busiest private route, so the fleets at both ends are deep and one-way pricing is as good as it gets in the United States.
Opa-locka is the Miami arrival for almost every private flight: twenty to thirty minutes to South Beach, Brickell or Coral Gables, with customs on the field. Miami International takes the VIP airliners and sits fifteen minutes from Brickell; Fort Lauderdale suits Boca Raton and the northern coast.
Leave Teterboro at 9 am and you are on Collins Avenue by 12.30 pm. In Art Basel week, over Christmas and on Grand Prix weekend, Opa-locka's parking is the constraint, so we book the slot with the flight and hold Fort Lauderdale as the fallback.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; parking in Miami, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
Aircraft are based at both ends in numbers, so a same-day departure is usually possible and a return with the aircraft waiting is priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | One way from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | Citation CJ4, Phenom 300 | 6 to 7 | 3h | $14,500 |
| Midsize jet | Citation XLS, Hawker 800XP | 8 | 2h 50m | $18,000 |
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Praetor 600 | 8 to 9 | 2h 40m | $22,000 |
| Heavy jet | Legacy 650, Falcon 900LX | 12 to 14 | 2h 35m | $30,000 |
Figures in US dollars, one way, indicative. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
In Art Basel week and over Christmas and New Year, expect a premium of a fifth to a quarter and book a week or two ahead for a choice of aircraft.
Teterboro handles most of New York's private departures, but it caps aircraft weight and closes to noisy movements overnight, so the largest cabins and some late flights go from Westchester, Newark or JFK.
The busiest private airport on the East Coast. Aircraft above 100,000 lb are not permitted, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary curfew 11 pm to 6 am; customs by prior arrangement.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs on site. Curfew on movements between midnight and 6.30 am.
Full customs and immigration and no weight limit. The choice for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.
Full customs, no weight limit and often easier slots than JFK. Useful when Teterboro is closed by weather or a security restriction.
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.
Flying private to Miami from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Miami's main private airport, open around the clock with US customs on the field. Handles up to large-cabin jets.
The closest runway to the centre and the only Miami airport for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets. Full customs and immigration.
Open around the clock with customs and easy parking. The natural choice for guests heading north of the city.
A light jet flies New York to Miami comfortably in under three hours. A midsize cabin adds a lavatory with a door and room to work; super-midsize and heavy cabins suit a larger party or a family with luggage for a fortnight. The Learjet 55 and the Legacy 650 in our fleet both cover the route.
Aircraft pages for this route: Embraer Phenom 300, Cessna Citation XLS+, Cessna Citation Latitude, Cessna Citation X+, Bombardier Challenger 605.
Six or seven seats, under three hours. The Learjet 55 in our fleet, or a Citation CJ4 or Phenom 300 from a New York operator.
See the Learjet 55Eight or nine seats with a stand-up cabin on the larger types, and the baggage hold for a long stay.
See the fleetTwelve to fourteen seats for a larger party. The Legacy 650 in our fleet flies it in about two and a half hours.
See the Legacy 650Miami's season runs from November to April, and its biggest weeks fill Opa-locka's ramp days ahead.
The return leaves from Opa-locka, Miami International or Fort Lauderdale and lands at Teterboro, Westchester, JFK or Newark. Northbound allow about two and a half hours; the evening departure from Opa-locka lands in New York before 10 pm.
Teterboro's voluntary curfew runs from 11 pm to 6 am, so a very late return may mean Westchester or Newark. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the first days of January, Teterboro's slots are the scarce resource, and we secure the return when we book the outbound.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $14,500 in a light jet; about $18,000 in a midsize jet; about $22,000 in a super-midsize jet; about $30,000 in a heavy jet. 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 2 hours 45 flight time for the cabins shown on this page, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Every cabin class listed flies it without a stop.
From New York: Teterboro, Westchester County, John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty. 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.
Art Basel week in early December, the fortnight over Christmas and New Year, the Boat Show in February, spring break in March and the Grand Prix in May. Opa-locka's parking fills first; Fort Lauderdale absorbs the overflow, and we book the return with the outbound.
Pets travel in the cabin. On a domestic flight no paperwork beyond standard identification is needed; from abroad, a dog needs a microchip, a CDC import form and a rabies record.

Yes. We coordinate chauffeured cars on both ends, so a car meets you at the aircraft at Opa-locka and the driver knows the airport's private terminal.
