New York to Miami by Private Jet: Nonstop in About 2 Hours 35 Minutes

A private flight New York to Miami turns a long airline day into a short, direct trip. Travelers leave from Teterboro, Westchester or Long Island instead of JFK or LaGuardia. They land at Opa-Locka, Miami Executive or Fort Lauderdale Executive, each close to a different part of South Florida. Winter sun, Art Basel and finance meetings drive most bookings.

• Closer airports at both ends: Teterboro is about 12 miles from Midtown; Opa-Locka is 11 miles from downtown Miami.
• Nonstop for most cabins: light jets and larger make the trip without a fuel stop.
• Both directions: southbound and northbound trips use the same airports.

In South Florida, Miami Executive suits Coral Gables, and Fort Lauderdale Executive suits Broward. JFK and Miami International take the largest aircraft.
