Light Jet Charter: Miami to New York

Published · Updated

The light jet is the smallest jet tier and the busiest cabin on the northbound run. It joins jet speed to the lowest jet hourly rate, seats four to eight, and covers Miami to New York nonstop in about two and a half hours.

Out of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) or Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) and into Teterboro Airport (TEB) or Westchester County Airport (HPN), the light jet handles the day trip to a New York meeting and the weekend up north with room to spare. When the party is small and the clock matters, it is the default.

The trip is about 950 nautical miles. Every cataloged light jet carries well past 1,500, so the route flies nonstop with a full cabin and reserves. Cruise sits in the low-to-mid 0.7 Mach range, which puts northbound block time near two and a half hours.

The aircraft

The set runs from the Phenom 300E, the Citation CJ3+ and the Learjet 75 at the top down to very light jets such as the Citation M2. Cabin length, luggage and range separate them; compare the field below.

Against a midsize

A midsize jet adds a stand-up cabin, a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory, for a higher hourly rate. For one to six on a short northbound hop the light jet is usually the correct tool; for a fuller group or a longer day, step up. Both are priced.
