What is included in a private jet quote from Miami?

A Vector Jet quote is all-inclusive: the aircraft, crew, fuel, airport and handling fees, US taxes on domestic flights, crew overnight costs and standard catering.

How quickly can I book a private jet from Miami?

Vector Jet sends aircraft options within an hour, 24/7, and in many cases a jet can depart within a few hours of confirmation, depending on aircraft availability. For Art Basel, the Grand Prix and the Christmas holidays it is best to book 3–4 weeks ahead.

Which airport is best for a private jet to Miami?

Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF) is the best choice for most private flights: airline flights do not use it, it has several private terminals and US customs on site, and it is 17 km from downtown Miami. Miami International Airport is closer to the city centre, while Fort Lauderdale suits Broward County.

Can I fly in or out of Miami at night?

Yes. Opa-locka and Miami International Airport operate around the clock. At night some services at the private terminals need to be booked in advance, and your charter manager handles this for you.

Do I pay tax on a private flight from Miami?

Flights within the United States carry a 7.5% federal excise tax plus a small fee per passenger. International flights, for example to the Bahamas or London, are not subject to it. Our prices already include the taxes that apply.

How long is a private flight from Miami to the Bahamas?

Flight time to Nassau is 45–50 minutes in a light jet, from $8,100 one way. Turks and Caicos is about 1 h 45 away.

Can I fly from Miami to the islands by turboprop?

Yes. For short flights to the islands or within Florida, turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air 350 are a good-value alternative to a jet, and they suit smaller island airports.

Can I fly from Miami to London without a stop?

Yes, in a long-range jet such as the Falcon 7X or Global 6000: flight time is about 9 h 30 eastbound and around 10 hours on the way back, from $109,500 one way.

Can I take my pet on a private jet to Miami?

Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. See the entry requirements in the section above; we check them for every flight.

Is an empty leg flight from Miami good value?

Yes, often 30–75% less than a standard charter, but the date and route are set by the aircraft’s schedule. Miami has many empty legs, especially north to New York at the end of the winter season.

How much luggage can I take on a private jet?

Light jets take about 6 medium suitcases, midsize jets around 8–10 and larger jets more. Tell us about golf bags, diving or fishing gear and other bulky items in advance so we can choose the right aircraft.

When is Miami busiest for private jets?

From late November to spring, especially during Art Basel in early December, over Christmas and New Year, and on the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. For these dates we recommend booking 3–4 weeks ahead.

Is a return flight on the same day good value?

Usually yes: the aircraft waits for you instead of flying back empty, so you avoid paying for two repositioning flights.

Private Jet Charter Miami

Vector Jet arranges private jet charter to and from Miami, mostly through Opa-locka, the main private jet airport in South Florida, or Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale when they suit your travel plans better.

Miami is one of the busiest private aviation cities in the United States: in 2025 there were 115,902 private flights to and from Miami, connecting it with 1,389 cities. The most popular routes are New York, Tampa, Nassau, Palm Beach and Orlando, followed by Washington, Atlanta, Chicago and Mexico City. Most flights take place from November to April, when the winter season brings New Yorkers south.

Miami is a year-round destination in the Sunshine State: business travel to Brickell, winter escapes on South Beach, yachts and cruises from PortMiami, and short flights to the islands of the Bahamas and the Caribbean. A private flight saves the time spent in commercial airline terminals and lets you fly on your own schedule.

Opa-locka: the Private Jet Airport for Miami

Most private jets in Miami use Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF), 17 km (11 miles) north of downtown Miami. Airline flights do not use it, so there are no queues or crowds, and Miami Beach, Brickell and Bal Harbour are an easy drive away.

Private terminals. Several FBOs (fixed-base operators — private terminals with their own lounges and handling services) operate here, including Signature Aviation, Atlantic Aviation, Fontainebleau Aviation and Jet Aviation, each with its own concierge service. The drive to Brickell or South Beach usually takes 25–40 minutes.

Customs. US customs is on the field, so international flights from London, the Bahamas or Mexico land here directly.

Runways. Three runways, the longest 2,439 m (8,002 ft), serve every business jet up to the Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650.

Other Miami airports. Miami International Airport is closer to the city but busy with commercial airlines; Miami Executive Airport (Kendall-Tamiami) in the south-west suits Pinecrest and the Florida Keys; Fort Lauderdale is better for Broward County and the beaches further north.

Flights from London. Farnborough, Luton and Biggin Hill all serve the route, and flight time is about 10 hours westbound.

Miami Airports for Private Jets

Opa-locka suits most private flights, but another South Florida airport can be nearer to where you are staying.

Airport	Distance from downtown Miami	Best for	Good to know
Miami International MIA · KMIA	10 km west	Downtown, Brickell and the airport hotels	Busy commercial airport; longer taxi times

Distances are in a straight line from downtown Miami.

Getting from the Airport to South Beach

A driver meets you at the aircraft and takes you to your hotel, villa or yacht: about 25 minutes to Bal Harbour and 30–35 minutes to Brickell or South Beach, depending on traffic. Ground services such as a car, concierge service or extra catering are added to your flight quote — contact your charter manager and we will time them to your arrival.

Things to Do in Miami: Art, Racing and the Ocean

Miami draws visitors from all over the world, and private flights follow its calendar.

Art Basel Miami Beach. The art fair takes place at the Miami Beach Convention Center on 4–6 December 2026, with VIP preview days just before; Miami Art Week fills the city from 30 November. Private terminals and parking are at their busiest that week.

Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. The race is held each spring at the Miami International Autodrome next to Hard Rock Stadium, about 15 minutes from the airport.

Top places to visit. South Beach and Ocean Drive, the Design District, Wynwood, Little Havana and the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens are all within 40 minutes of the airport by road.

Winter season. From late November to spring, flights from New York, Chicago and Europe arrive almost daily, and many continue to the islands of the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos or the Caribbean.

Plan ahead. For Art Basel, the Grand Prix and the Christmas holidays, contact your charter manager 3–4 weeks ahead.

Flying to Miami with Pets

Dogs and cats can fly in the cabin with you on a private jet. We check the requirements for every flight.

Arriving in the United States
• Dogs need a CDC Dog Import Form receipt, an ISO-compatible microchip and must be at least 6 months old.
• Dogs that have been only in the UK, the EU or other rabies-free or low-risk countries for the past 6 months follow the simpler low-risk rules; stricter rules apply to dogs from high-risk countries.
• Pets must look healthy on arrival. Cats do not need a federal import form, but some states require a rabies vaccination.

Flying from Miami to the UK
• The aircraft operator must be approved for pet travel on the route into Great Britain, and dogs need tapeworm treatment by a vet 1–5 days before arrival.

Tell your charter manager about your pet when you request a quote — not every operator accepts pets, and we plan the route around it.

Private Jet Charter Miami: FAQ

The price is driven mainly by the aircraft and the route: a light jet such as the Citation CJ3+ is the most affordable option for Palm Beach, Nassau, Tampa or Orlando, from $7,100 one way; a Phenom 300, Citation XLS+ or Challenger 350 suits New York, Washington, Chicago or Mexico City; and London or Geneva need a long-range jet such as the Falcon 7X or Global 6000. See the indicative prices in the table above. The final price also reflects your dates and repositioning (flying the aircraft empty to Miami if it is based elsewhere). Vector Jet sends options within an hour.

Flight time is about 3 hours in a light or midsize jet. A Phenom 300 to Teterboro starts at $21,700 one way; for more space, a Challenger 350 or Legacy 650 flies the route in under 3 hours.
