Why a light jet fits the route

The corridor is short by private-jet standards — about 950 nautical miles. Every light jet here carries more than 2,000 of range, so it flies nonstop with a full cabin and reserves, even into a winter headwind.

A 45,000-foot ceiling puts it above most weather and the airline traffic over the Eastern Seaboard. Nothing smaller is faster; nothing faster is cheaper.

  • Nonstop New York to Miami, full seats, full reserves
  • The lowest hourly cost of any jet on the route
  • Access to close-in business fields like Teterboro
  • Sized for the two-and-a-half-hour corridor

The aircraft to know

Three names carry most of the traffic: the Phenom 300E, the Citation CJ3+ and the Learjet 75. They differ in cabin length, baggage and speed. Compare them below and we will quote the ones that suit your trip.

When to step up

More than six passengers, a full set of golf bags, or a wish for a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory — those point to a midsize jet. Tell us the party and the luggage and we will price both side by side.

Frequently asked questions

What does a light jet to Miami cost?

A one-way light jet on the New York–Miami route is typically $14,000 to $23,000 all-in, by aircraft and date. Empty legs run less. Every quote includes fuel, fees and taxes.

How many seats?

Six to eight. On a two-and-a-half-hour route they are comfortable for four to six travellers with luggage — which covers most trips on the corridor.

Nonstop, both ways?

Yes. The route is about 950 nautical miles; the Phenom 300E, CJ3+ and Learjet 75 all carry more than 2,000, so each flies it nonstop in either direction.

How long in the air?

Two and a half to three hours, with the winds. Door to door — a Manhattan office to a South Beach hotel — is usually under four.
