Light Jet Charter: NYC to Miami

Published

The light jet is the smallest jet tier and the most-booked cabin on the New York–Miami corridor. It pairs jet speed with the lowest jet hourly rate, seats four to eight, and flies the route nonstop in about two and a half hours.

Out of Teterboro Airport (TEB) or Westchester County Airport (HPN) and into Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) or Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), the light jet covers the day trip and the weekend with margin. It is the default recommendation when the group is small and time matters.

The set spans the Phenom 300E, the Citation CJ3+ and the Learjet 75 at the top, through to very light jets such as the Citation M2. Cabin length, baggage and range vary; compare them below.

Light jet or midsize

A midsize jet adds a stand-up cabin, an enclosed lavatory and a flat floor. It costs more per hour. For one to six on a short route, the light jet is usually the right tool; for a larger group or a longer day, step up. We price both.
