Leisure Jet Charter: NYC to Miami
Published · Updated
For a weekend in South Florida the value of a charter is the time it gives back. No queue, no gate, no terminal — a private flight runs door to door in about four hours against most of a day commercial. The trip starts when you reach the FBO.
A small group on a getaway is the textbook case for a light jet: nonstop, efficient, and the lowest jet rate on the route. When dates are flexible, an empty leg can lower the cost further.

Private charters between New York and Miami depart from Teterboro Airport (TEB), Westchester County Airport (HPN), Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU) or Republic Airport (FRG), and arrive at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), Miami International Airport (MIA) or Palm Beach International (PBI).
Time, not terminals
Arrive fifteen minutes before departure, walk to the aircraft, and land at the South Florida field closest to where you are staying — Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) for Miami and the Beach, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) for Fort Lauderdale. The weekend is longer at both ends.
The right cabin for a getaway
Two to six travelers fit a light jet comfortably. A larger group, or one that wants a stand-up cabin, moves to a midsize jet. Traveling with a dog is straightforward — see pet-friendly charter — and we recommend the cabin that fits the party and the bags.
Pricing that fits the trip
Quotes are itemized: fuel, fees and taxes included. Round trips are priced together for a better rate, and flexible dates open up empty-leg savings when a repositioning flight lines up with your plans.
