Private Jet from Miami to New York
A private jet from Miami to New York is the quickest way to trade South Florida for Manhattan without an airline schedule in the way. The corridor is one of the busiest in private aviation, flown year-round by people wrapping up Art Basel, heading back to the office after season, or returning from a long weekend in Palm Beach. We arrange the flight from the airport closest to you to the New York airport closest to where you are going, with ground transport waiting at both ends.

Itinerary
Why fly private from Miami to New York
Depart on your schedule, not an airline's. Opa-locka (OPF) and Palm Beach (PBI) have quiet private terminals with no commercial security lines, so a morning in Miami can still end with dinner in Manhattan.
Northbound headwinds usually add 15 to 20 minutes compared with the southbound leg. On a private flight that simply shows up in the plan, with no rebooking, missed connections or gate changes.
Fly from Palm Beach to White Plains (HPN) and land roughly 30 miles from Midtown without touching JFK or LaGuardia, which suits travelers heading to Westchester, Greenwich and Connecticut.
Travel with art, jewelry or oversized pieces that airlines make difficult. For Art Basel and Miami art fair returns we can coordinate secure ground handling and specialist shippers where needed.
One advisor handles the details from tarmac to door: chauffeur pickups at South Florida FBOs, catering on board and car service on arrival in New York.
Airports and FBOs
Opa-locka Executive (OPF) is the usual choice for South Beach, Brickell and Coral Gables: uncongested, with good FBOs and fast access to the aircraft. Palm Beach International (PBI) suits Palm Beach Island, Wellington and Manalapan, while Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) serves Broward County. In New York, Teterboro (TEB) is about 12 miles from Midtown and is the main private aviation airport for Manhattan. White Plains (HPN) is the natural arrival for Greenwich, Westchester and Connecticut, and Republic (FRG) on Long Island works well for the East End and the Hamptons.
Flying back from New York to Miami
The southbound return is usually a little faster thanks to tailwinds. You can book a same-day round trip with the aircraft waiting, or a separate one-way flight later in the week. We also arrange open-jaw trips, for example arriving in Miami and leaving from Palm Beach. Because so many aircraft move along this corridor, empty-leg options appear often; ask us what is available for your dates.

End-of-season moves
Heading north for the summer? We coordinate the extra pieces of a seasonal move: vehicle shipping, pet travel, oversized luggage and staff traveling with you, so the flight is only one part of a single plan.

A car meets you at the aircraft in South Florida and again in New York, from sedans to SUVs and Sprinter vans, so there are no curbside waits or rideshare apps.

Leaving from a yacht or a waterfront villa? We can arrange the transfer from Biscayne Bay, Fisher Island or a Palm Beach marina straight to your FBO.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a private jet from Miami to New York?
Flying from Opa-locka (OPF) or Palm Beach (PBI) to Teterboro (TEB) usually takes about 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 10 minutes, depending on winds and aircraft. Northbound headwinds typically add 15 to 25 minutes compared with the southbound flight.
How much does a private jet from Miami to New York cost?
It depends on the jet size, the date and season, whether you fly one way or round trip, and whether an aircraft has to reposition. A light jet costs less than a super-midsize or heavy jet. See the market estimate on this page; your quote confirms the exact price.
What is the best airport to depart from in Miami for a private jet?
For South Beach, Brickell and downtown Miami, Opa-locka Executive (OPF) is usually best: about 12 miles from South Beach with good FBOs and quick access to the aircraft. For Palm Beach Island and Wellington, Palm Beach International (PBI) is the natural choice; for Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE).
Can I depart from Palm Beach instead of Miami?
Yes. Palm Beach International (PBI) is one of the most common departure points on this route. Travelers from Palm Beach Island, Wellington and Manalapan often fly nonstop from PBI to Teterboro or White Plains, which can save a long drive to Miami.
Are there empty legs from Miami to New York?
Often, yes. This is one of the busiest empty-leg corridors in the country, especially at the end of the South Florida season in April and May. Empty legs depend on other trips, so times are fixed and they can change; ask us for current options.
Can I bring artwork or valuables on the flight?
Yes. A private flight avoids the restrictions airlines place on artwork, antiques and other valuables. We can coordinate secure handling, packing and insured ground transport at both ends, and the operator confirms any weight or size limits for the aircraft.
