Private Jet to Miami, FL - Airports, Routes & Prices
Charter a private jet to Miami with Travel King International and bypass the commercial chaos of MIA for a seamless arrival into the “Magic City.” Miami is no longer just a vacation destination; it is a global financial hub, the art capital of the Americas, and the gateway to Latin America. Whether you are flying in for Art Basel, closing a real estate deal in Brickell, or embarking on a yacht charter from Miami Beach, our local team ensures your journey is as sophisticated as your destination.
While commercial travelers endure the sprawling lines of Miami International, Travel King International clients enjoy the exclusivity of Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF). Located minutes from Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles, OPF is the true VIP gateway. Our local presence at 200 Biscayne Boulevard places us in the heart of the action, giving us the leverage to secure last-minute slots during peak season and arrange ground transport that whisks you from the tarmac to your Star Island villa in record time.
- Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) – The VIP Standard.
Located 11 miles north of downtown, OPF is the undisputed king of private aviation in Miami. With no commercial traffic and world-class FBOs like Fontainebleau Aviation, it offers the fastest access to Miami Beach and the northern luxury enclaves. - Miami Executive Airport (TMB) – The Southern Gateway.
Formerly known as Tamiami, TMB is the preferred option for clients heading to Coral Gables, Pinecrest, or Coconut Grove. It is less congested than OPF and offers quick access to the southern business districts. - Miami International Airport (MIA) – The Connector.
While generally avoided for private charters due to heavy commercial traffic, MIA is essential for clients connecting to international commercial flights. The private terminals here offer a discreet bubble away from the main concourses. - Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int’l (FLL) – The Superyacht Hub.
For clients boarding yachts at Bahia Mar or Pier 66, FLL (and nearby FXE) is often the most logical choice, offering easy access to the marina district just 30 minutes north of Miami.
The cost to charter a private jet to Miami is driven by the high volume of traffic from the Northeast and the West Coast.

A Light Jet for this 2.5-hour flight typically costs between $12,000 and $16,000, while a Midsize Jet offers more luggage space for around $18,000 to $24,000.
For clients flying from Los Angeles (Van Nuys), a Super Midsize or Heavy Jet is required for the cross-country journey. Prices for this 5-hour flight range from $34,000 to $42,000, ensuring non-stop luxury. Short island hops to Nassau or Key West are also popular, often costing as little as $5,000 to $7,000 on a Turboprop or Light Jet.
