Leaving New York

Teterboro or White Plains

Most trips south start at one of two airports. Choose the one nearer your door; flight times to Florida are almost identical.

TEB

Teterboro

About 12 miles from Midtown, with no airline service, so it is built around private aviation. The natural choice for Manhattan and northern New Jersey.

HPN

Westchester

In White Plains, convenient for Westchester, Greenwich and southern Connecticut, with private terminals beside the airline side.

Also on the list: Morristown (MMU) for western New Jersey and Republic (FRG) for Long Island.

Snowbird season

When the whole Northeast heads south

Demand between New York and Florida follows the calendar. Southbound flights fill before the holidays; northbound ones after New Year and again when the season ends in spring. Busy dates cost more and sell out first.

Safety and standards

Who is flying matters most

Every option names its operator, the certificate it flies under and any audit ratings it holds, so you can check before you commit.

  • FAA Part 135

    The certificate every US charter operator needs to carry paying passengers, covering maintenance, training and crew rest.

  • ARGUS

    Independent ratings at Gold, Gold+ and Platinum, built on an operator’s safety record and, at the top levels, on-site audits.

  • Wyvern

    A safety audit against Wyvern’s own standard; passing operators become Wyvern Wingman operators.

  • IS-BAO

    The international code of practice for business aviation, with registration at stages 1 to 3.

Questions

Before you fly south

More on the FAQ page.

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.
