A private jet from New York to Miami takes about two and three-quarter hours, Teterboro to Opa-locka, in every cabin from a light jet up. One of the busiest private routes in the United States, with aircraft based at both ends. Indicative one way from $14,500 for the whole aircraft, in a light jet.
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 about three hours and a heavy jet in about two and a half. It is one of the busiest private routes in the United States, so aircraft of every size are based at both ends and positioning rarely adds much to the price.
Opa-locka is the Miami arrival for most private flights, about thirty minutes from Miami Beach by the county's figure. Miami International is closer to Brickell, Miami Executive suits Coral Gables and the south, Fort Lauderdale Executive the northern coast, and Palm Beach has its own airport. The airport pairing below matches each one to where you start and where you are going.
Leave Teterboro mid-morning and you can be in Miami Beach in the early afternoon, traffic allowing. In Art Basel week, over Christmas and on Grand Prix weekend, Opa-locka's parking is the constraint, so we request the slot with the flight and keep Fort Lauderdale Executive as the fallback.
Which airport to leave from and which to land at are set out in our guides to the private jet airports in New York and the private jet airports in Miami: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
The three Miami-area airports sit 920 to 975 nautical miles from the four main New York airports, so the pair you choose changes the time in the air by ten minutes at most. Choose the airports for the drive at each end, as in the pairing further down.
| From | Opa-locka (OPF) | Miami International (MIA) | Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teterboro (TEB) | 949 nm, 2h 35 to 3h | 955 nm, 2h 35 to 3h | 931 nm, 2h 30 to 2h 55 |
| Westchester County (HPN) | 967 nm, 2h 35 to 3h 05 | 974 nm, 2h 40 to 3h 05 | 949 nm, 2h 35 to 3h |
| JFK | 942 nm, 2h 35 to 3h | 948 nm, 2h 35 to 3h | 924 nm, 2h 30 to 2h 55 |
| Newark (EWR) | 938 nm, 2h 35 to 3h | 945 nm, 2h 35 to 3h | 920 nm, 2h 30 to 2h 55 |
Great-circle distances between the airports, from OurAirports coordinates. Times run from a heavy jet to a light jet, gate to gate, on the same basis as the price table; the wind on the day moves them by a few minutes.
The prices below are indicative one-way estimates for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Teterboro to Opa-locka. They cover the flight itself, with the crew and the fuel, in an aircraft that is already in New York.
Tax, airport fees and any flying without you on board come on top, and the written quote lists each one with a single total before you commit. How each figure is built, and what the quote adds, is set out under the table.
Aircraft are based at both ends in numbers, so a departure on the day is often possible, and 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.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | Hourly rate | Indicative one way, from | With 7.5% excise tax |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | Phenom 300, Citation CJ4 | 6 to 7 | 3h | $4,850 | $14,500 | $15,588 |
| Midsize jet | Citation XLS+, Citation Latitude | 7 to 9 | 2h 50m | $6,350 | $18,000 | $19,350 |
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Praetor 600, Citation X+ | 8 to 9 | 2h 40m | $8,250 | $22,000 | $23,650 |
| Heavy jet | Legacy 650, Challenger 605 | 9 to 13 | 2h 35m | $11,600 | $30,000 | $32,250 |
Figures in US dollars, one way, indicative, reviewed November 2026. 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.
Each figure is the flight time for that cabin, gate to gate, multiplied by an hourly rate for an aircraft of that size based in New York, and rounded to the nearest $500. The rate covers the aircraft, the crew and the fuel. Every rate sits inside the band for its cabin in our charter cost guide.
Federal excise tax is charged at 7.5% on charter flights within the United States, so the last column of the table shows each figure with it added.
Example, not a quote: four passengers in a midsize jet, Teterboro to Opa-locka, comes to $18,000 + $1,350 excise tax + $21.20 in segment fees = $19,371.20, before landing, handling and any positioning.
Tax rate and segment fee from the IRS (Publication 510 and Revenue Procedure 2025-32). On 4 November 2026 we compared these figures with the New York to Miami prices other US charter brokers publish: a light jet one way runs from about $13,500 to $23,500 there, and the higher figures generally include some of the costs listed above. Compare like with like on the written quote.
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.
Private jet airports in New York compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The busiest private airport in the US. No aircraft may weigh more than 100,000 lb on the day, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary quiet hours 11 pm to 6 am; customs at Jet Aviation or Hangar 1, 7.30 am to 11.15 pm.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs at the FBO. Operators are asked not to fly between midnight and 6.30 am.
Customs around the clock and no weight limit. The choice for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.
Customs around the clock, no weight limit, and the only FBO is Signature. 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
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.
Choose the New York airport by where you start and the Florida one by where you are going. Any pair flies non-stop, and the flight time changes by only a few minutes; Palm Beach, about fifty miles closer, is the shortest.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Manhattan, Brooklyn and northern New Jersey | Teterboro (TEB) | The busiest private airport in the country, so the widest choice of aircraft. VIP airliners are too heavy for it and leave from Newark or JFK. |
| Upper East Side, Westchester and Connecticut | Westchester County (HPN) | On the right side of the city for the northern suburbs, with a quieter ramp than Teterboro. |
| Long Island's North Shore and Nassau County | Republic (FRG), Farmingdale | Saves the drive into the city. Atlantic and Modern Aviation have private terminals there. |
| Central and eastern Long Island | Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Ronkonkoma | About fifty miles east of Manhattan, with a 7,000 ft runway and Modern Aviation's private terminal. Fewer jets are based there, so we check whether one has to position in. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| South Beach, Miami Beach, Brickell and Bal Harbour | Opa-locka (OPF) | Miami's busiest private airport, with five private terminals. Miami International is the alternative for Downtown and Brickell. |
| Coral Gables, Pinecrest and the south | Miami Executive (TMB), formerly Kendall-Tamiami | South-west of Downtown, so the drive avoids the city. Its 6,000 ft runway is shorter than Opa-locka's, so we check the aircraft against it. |
| Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas and Boca Raton | Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) | About six miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale. The heaviest jets need prior permission for its 6,002 ft runway. |
| Palm Beach, Jupiter and Wellington | Palm Beach (DJT, formerly PBI) | Renamed President Donald J. Trump International in July 2026. Four miles from Palm Beach island, with no weight limit. |
Drive times depend on the hour and the traffic, so we plan the car around your landing rather than promise a figure. The prices above are for Teterboro to Opa-locka; other pairs are quoted on the same basis.
For nonstop flights between New York and Miami, suitable aircraft range from light and midsize jets to super-midsize and heavy jets, depending on the number of passengers, the baggage, availability on your dates and what you want on board.
A light jet flies it comfortably in about 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. Every class flies it non-stop, from a Learjet 55 to a Legacy 650.
Aircraft pages for this route: Embraer Phenom 300, Pilatus PC-24, Cessna Citation XLS+, Cessna Citation Latitude, Cessna Citation X+, Bombardier Challenger 605.
Six or seven seats, about three hours. A Learjet 55, Phenom 300 or Citation CJ4 from a New York operator.
See the Learjet 55Seven to nine seats, a stand-up cabin on the larger types and a baggage hold for a long stay: the Citation XLS+ or Latitude, the Challenger 350 or Praetor 600.
See the Challenger 350Up to thirteen seats for a larger party. A Legacy 650 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; an 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, so we request the return when we book the outbound.
Flying into New York from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to New York.
We do not own a fleet. Each New York 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 Teterboro 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 light jet to a heavy jet, 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 pricing starts at approximately $14,500 for a light jet such as a Phenom 300, about $18,000 for a midsize jet, about $22,000 for a super-midsize jet and about $30,000 for a heavy jet, for the whole aircraft from Teterboro to Opa-locka. Each is the flight time multiplied by an hourly rate for the cabin, before the 7.5% federal excise tax, the $5.30 segment fee per passenger, landing and handling fees and any positioning, which the written quote lists. A return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
The prices on this page are indicative estimates for the whole aircraft, not individual seats. Confirm the full written quote, including taxes, airport charges, positioning and any other applicable fees, before booking.
The route is approximately 1,090 statute miles, although the exact distance varies with the departure and arrival airports. The flight plan and operating conditions determine the actual route flown.
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.
Many suitable light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets can operate this route nonstop. The operator must confirm the selected aircraft's range and payload for the date, weather, runway and passenger requirements.
Capacity depends on the aircraft model and its specific cabin configuration. The aircraft shortlist should confirm the approved passenger capacity and baggage allowance for each option.
Baggage capacity varies by aircraft type and the size and number of bags. Share the number of passengers and approximate luggage requirements when requesting a quote so the operator can confirm a suitable aircraft.
From New York: Teterboro, Westchester County, JFK and Newark, or Republic and Long Island MacArthur for Long Island. Into South Florida: Opa-locka, Miami International, Miami Executive, Fort Lauderdale Executive and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, or Palm Beach further north. The airport pairing table matches each one to where you start and where you are going.
Enquire as soon as your travel dates are known, especially around major events and holiday periods. Aircraft availability, airport slots and pricing vary by date, so early planning gives the team more options to check.
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 Executive takes 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. 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 at Opa-locka 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.
