FAQNew York to Miami private jet questions
Flight times, prices, airports, luggage and the season, answered for the run between New York and South Florida.
How long is the private flight from New York to Miami?
Plan on about 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours from Teterboro or White Plains to the Miami airports, and about 2 hours 30 minutes to Palm Beach. Northbound times vary a little more with the wind.
What does a private jet from New York to Miami cost?
Flight time drives it. A light jet at about $3,500–5,500 an hour for roughly three hours lands around $10,000–16,000 one way before positioning, the 7.5% federal excise tax and fees; a midsize runs about $12,800–20,000. Your quote turns that into one all-in number.
Which Miami airport should we land at?
Pick by where you are staying. Opa-locka suits Miami Beach and Bal Harbour, Miami International suits Brickell and Coral Gables, Miami Executive suits the south side, and Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and Palm Beach each have their own options. The route guide maps them out.
Is a one-way trip south good value?
It can be. Because so much traffic runs south at the start of the season and north at the end, aircraft often need to reposition the other way, and those empty legs are sold at a discount. One-way prices also depend on whether the aircraft’s return is included.
When are flights to Florida hardest to book?
Thanksgiving week, the stretch from Christmas to New Year, Presidents’ Day weekend and the March school breaks. Booking well ahead for those dates gives the widest choice of aircraft.
Who operates the aircraft?
Operators certificated under FAA Part 135, the rules for US charter airlines. Private Jet NY to Miami is a broker, so each quote names the operator before you book.
Can the dog come too?
On many aircraft, yes, once the operator has approved the pet. Tell us its size and whether it will sit in the cabin, and we will only quote aircraft that welcome it.
Teterboro or White Plains: which is better?
Whichever is nearer to you. Teterboro, about 12 miles from Midtown, suits Manhattan and New Jersey; White Plains suits Westchester and Connecticut. Flight times to Florida differ by only a few minutes.
How early should we arrive at the airport?
Private terminals do not have airline-style queues, so most travellers arrive 15 to 30 minutes before departure. Bring government-issued photo ID, which the operator or terminal may check.
How much luggage can we bring?
It depends on the aircraft. A light jet takes a few suitcases and a golf bag or two; midsize and larger jets take noticeably more. List what you are bringing and we will size the aircraft to fit.
Can we add the Bahamas or the Keys?
Yes. Multi-city trips are routine, for example New York to Miami, on to Nassau or Key West, then home. Add the extra legs to your request.
Is there a fee or deposit to get a price?
No. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing; payment terms only begin with a signed charter agreement.
