New York to Miami: The Best Light Jets for Short Haul Routes

Whether it’s cost efficiency, luxury, or comfort you’re looking for, there’s not only a private jet out there that suits your travel requirements (capacity, cabin size, price) but also a jet that matches the needs of every route. 

Let’s take New York to Miami as an example; Teterboro Airport to Opa Locka Executive airport to be more exact: a three-hour flight that can be covered by any modern light jet in the business.

Hawker 400XP

Boasting top-notch safety features, a luxurious cabin, and fast cruising speed, the Hawker 400XP is a popular choice for business flights and recreational excursions. 

This jet’s debut created a highly competitive option for business clients looking for private aircraft that would meet their needs. Ideal for non-stop or mid-range flights, this light, twin-engine corporate jet from Hawker Beechcraft sports a uniquely structured cabin (called “vertical squared-oval”) which allows for expansive head and legroom. 

Seating arrangements create a center-club pattern to produce an ideal environment for in-flight meetings. Capacity: up to 8 pax Cabin Size (H/W): 4.8 ft/4.9 ft Cruise Speed: 414 mph Range: 1,600 nm

Phenom 300

The Phenom 300 performs among the top light jets, with a high-speed cruise of 453 knots and a six-occupant range of 1,971 nautical miles. 

With one of the best climb and field performance in its class, the aircraft is capable of flying at 45,000 feet powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines. 

Since 2013 the Phenom 300 has been the number one most delivered business jet three years in a row according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. Capacity: up to 8 pax Cabin Size (H/W/L): 4.11 ft/5.1 ft/17.2 ft Cruise Speed: 598 mph Range: 1,971 nm

Phenom 100E

The Phenom 100E is the evolution of the roomiest aircraft in its class, bringing other interior enhancements, such as a new floor sill, featuring a straight-line design to increase the aisle area, as well as relocated power outlets with USB chargers. 

 The aircraft is a leader in performance. It flies just under 1,200 nm and takes off from runways as short as 3,199 ft. It is one of the fastest jets in its category and had the largest baggage compartment in its class. Capacity: up to 6 pax Cabin Size (H/W/L): 4.11 ft/5.1 ft/11 ft Cruise Speed: 537 mph Range: 1,178 nm.

Cessna Citation M2

Launched in September 2011 and based on the previous model, the M2 features a new cabin layout as well as a new more efficient turbofan engine. The cabin has been completely redesigned; there are brand new seat appointments that have improved comfort tremendously, as well as a new entertainment system, called Cessna Clarity. 

The interior was redesigned by the same team that worked on Cessna’s two much larger models, the Latitude and the still larger Longitude. Capacity: 7 (std config) Cabin Size (H/W/L): 57 in/58 in/11 ft Cruise Speed: 464 mph Range: 1,550 nm.

Cessna Citation CJ3+

The latest version of the Citation CJ3, the CJ3+, was certified by the FAA in April of 2014 and comes equipped with advanced avionics. The cabin has been totally redesigned with new seating, taken from the Citation M2, which grants passengers additional articulating features as well as a more modern look. 

 The lavatory is now fully enclosed and gives passengers complete privacy and can double as a certified seating area for all phases of flight. New cabin options include air wireless internet, satellite phones, Cessna’s proprietary Clarity cabin entertainment system, and Airshow in-flight information display. Capacity: 9 (std config) Cabin Size (H/W/L): 57 in/58 in/15.8 ft Cruise Speed: 478 mph Range: 2,040 nm.

Cessna Citation CJ4

The Citation CJ4 stands out among competing light jets on cabin amenities alone. Six deep cushioned, wide leather seats articulate in three directions and can fully recline for long, comfortable trips. Each seat features retractable armrests. No matter the purpose of the flight, for business, personal enjoyment, or both, the CJ4 delivers on every aspect. 

 With a range of up to 2,165 nm, the ability to take off at maximum weight from runways as short as 3,130 ft, and a maximum cruise speed of 451 knots, the CJ4 not only makes it possible to fly directly to airports closer to your destination, it reduces the time needed to get there. Capacity: up to 10 passengers (std configuration) Cabin Size (H/W/L): 57 in/58 in/17.4 ft Cruise Speed: 519 mph Range: 2,165 nm.

Learjet 75

The cabin of the Learjet 75 is in a class of its own, designed for ultimate comfort and privacy featuring a flat floor for ease of movement, pocket door for reduced noise levels, as well as being fully-equipped for productivity. It now has more legroom, a flat floor, a fold-down ottoman at the VIP seat, and a high-tech cabin management system. 

With revolutionary aerodynamics for greater performance in hot climates, high altitudes, and short-field capabilities, and this jet is the epitome of fit, finish, and performance. Capacity: up to 9 passengers (std configuration) Cabin Size (H/W/L): 4.11 ft/5.1 ft/19.10 ft Cruise Speed: 621 mph Range: 2,040 nm.

The Gulfstream G200 was one of the first private jets in the Gulfstream series. Formerly known as the IAI Galaxy, it is a twin-engine business jet.

The G200 is powered by two incredibly engineered, 5,700 lb. thrust Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A turbofans that Gulfstream upgraded to Pro line 4 avionics and a redesign of the interior. 

The G200 boasts an astonishing cabin length of 24.2 ft. while being 7 ft. wide and an incredible 6.3 ft tall, giving this beautiful super midsize jet a cabin volume of 870 cubic feet! Its claim to fame is having large cabin comfort comparable to its bigger brother, the Heavy Jet, while maintaining an operating cost of a midsize jet. 

It has a maximum passenger configuration of 10. It can be configured in the traditional double club, or, thanks to its wide cabin, you can add in a couch next to one of the double club sets of seats.

Where to Land a Private Jet Between New York and Miami

If you've heard of Teterboro, Opa-locka, or Fort Lauderdale Executive, then there’s a good chance you’ve at least considered flying private from New York to Miami (or you know someone who has!) It’s known that flying private allows you to customize departing and arriving locations due to a large amount of regional, domestic and executive airports enabled to service smaller jets. And there is arguably no other route with more executive airport options, from point A to point B, than New York to Miami.

It all starts up north, with Teterboro airport in New York as arguably the most important in the states from a traffic and services standpoint and located only 10 miles north from Manhattan. Close from there, 33 miles north from midtown Manhattan is White Plains in Westchester County, only second to the aforementioned in popularity. So two important executive airports in New York. Let’s move on a little bit down south.

Hanscom Field in Bedford Massachusetts is one of the largest general aviation airports in New England and is a great option for executive travelers with three FBOs at disposal. Danbury Municipal Airport in Connecticut is another frequented choice, offering a premium FBO and a complete overall Business Jet Center. Going to New Jersey?

Morristown Municipal Airport is just three miles from downtown Morristown and boasts high business aviation traffic, apart from proposing two fully equipped FBOs. And if you’re in the vicinity of Atlanta, located in Chamblee, Georgia, then DeKalb–Peachtree Airport, the second largest in the state behind Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, should be a no brainer due to superior business aviation infrastructure.

Down South the scenario gets interesting. The high demand for private aviation in South Florida is good news for private charter operators. The region has developed into what is likely the highest concentration of private airports in the world: if you drive along Interstate 95 for (aerial) distance of 75 miles, you will pass 10 airports: KTMB, KTNT, KMIA, KOPF, KHWO, KFLL, KFXE, KPMP, KBCT, KLNA, KPBI. South Florida, often called the "playground" for the top 1 percent, keeps these airports busy year-long.

Most operators of business jets don’t use the busy airports, preferring instead to fly in secondary or domestic airports which often are not served commercially. The capability to use these smaller and far less-congested facilities is vital to the value and flexibility of this market. And as a result, private aviation operations at the nation’s 20 busiest airports account for less than 3% of total activity, according to the NBAA.

Flying Private to Disney World

Traveling with kids on a commercial flight can go south. Fast. There are just too many variables to account for. Arriving on time (the toughest), leaving teddy bear at home, or bothering other passengers for hours, top the list. And don’t think that a first flight ticket will minimize any of the above. Because it won’t.

Flying private is a different story; you choose the departure and arrival airports, the time and the onboard amenities or every other perk that you may think of how to make your children feel like home during the duration of the flight. But for now, let’s focus on how to get there. New York and Miami, due to a large amount of private jet traffic on both cities and proximity to Orlando (all East Coast cities); will serve as the perfect example.

The whole idea of flying private is to escape the massive amount of people of the major airports, so John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia shouldn’t be an option. For those purposes, Teterboro and White Plains serve as the perfect departure point for your private flight; two executive airports suited for all around executive flight purposes.

If it’s Miami, staying away from Miami International and even Fort Lauderdale International might be wise as well. Miami-Opa Locka executive airport and Fort Lauderdale executive are the better options for the same reasons as both New York regional facilities. Private jet operator will offer competitive rates and a wide range of aircraft, from turboprops to heavy jets.

Now, where to land? The place is called Orlando Executive Airport, located only 6 miles east of downtown Orlando and 24 miles from Disney World. Another option is Orlando International Airport, 18 miles away from Disney. Although closer, the facility is more crowded than the previous, defeating the whole purpose of flying private.

Where to stay? No other place than the Four Seasons Resort. It’s arguably the only hotel in the entertainment complex that allows private travelers to pair their onboard experience with their week-long stay (if not more). The hotel is settled on a large lake and has its own 5-acre private island full of facilities.

Traveling with the family

Flying by private jet also allows you to maintain your family atmosphere, especially when traveling to a family friendly environment as Walt Disney World. Apart from the time and the flexibility, private jets grant children the possibility to feel like home, a rather compelling attribute especially for young couples traveling with small children on a three-hour flight from New York.

Entertaining a five-year-old for three straight hours can be a challenge… So picture this: there are no other passengers on the same flight to disturb, the menu can be fully tailored and you can even bring your pets along and the entertainment device of choice, without WiFi restrictions. Definitely an all around family experience…

Private Jets: Business or Pleasure

Rightfully so, the biggest driver for private jets is business travel. It’s called business-travel for a reason, right? And although that might be the case on a yearly basis, things tend to change during the holiday season.

Nowadays, when summer is nearby in the Northern Hemisphere, the amount of leisure private jet travelers increase heavily. Not only will the frequent business travelers use a private jet when it’s time for pleasure, but also will the sporadic family luxury holiday or second home owners flying to their holiday properties.

Flying for business and pleasure

If you add the special occasion users to the mix; say weddings, honeymoons, seekers of international culture and sport event fans, then the so called business jet market is not so business-looking after all. At least from June to September… 

Nevertheless, there’s some expected overlapping within both types of travelers. Businessmen are rarely off the grid even during holidays, so an occasional business-related flight might occur during this period of time.

Another interesting factor that has enhanced the amount of non-frequent private travelers is the use of technology. Today, the majority of charter operators have invested in top-notch online booking systems and diverse instant quote apps. By doing so, they are materializing the private jet experience by handing out their prices and detailed information and photos of a wide array of aircraft.

Living the private experience

And then come the empty leg flights. Around all year long, these flights show a slight increase during summer, especially in the occasional private flyer segment. For a reduced price, almost 70% less in some routes, travelers are willing to buy a one-way ticket and return home on a commercial flight just to live the private experience. This type of service is also accounted for in the global season increase.

Overall, it’s not a surprise that private aviation travelers fly more for business than for pleasure. But the marked increasing tendency of occasional users during holidays is a good sign for the private aviation market as a whole; it urges private jet operators to bond with new potential clients and to adapt on how they communicate with the different target audiences depending on the season of the year.

7 Most Common Private Jet FAQs

There are plenty of myths out there about business aviation. Whether it’s better to own than rent a jet if it’s possible to land in an international airport or even to speak with the crew. Private jet operator answers some of the most common questions for first-time travelers.

1. Is private jet aviation only for the super-rich?

Clearly not. Private flight has sometimes even more competitive prices than commercial first-class. If you add that you can travel alongside 4 to 6 people of your choice for the same price (you rent the jet and not the seat) then a private flight can be even more economical per person than purchasing a business class ticket.

2. Is buying a private jet more cost-efficient than chartering?

Well, it depends. How many hours a year are you willing to fly? If you will fly more than 300 hours a year, then buying a jet might be the wisest decision. But that’s a lot of hours. And you must add the maintenance costs, training, and salary for the pilots, insurance, and hangarage. When you charter a jet, all these costs are paid for.

3. Can private jets land at international airports?

One of the main traits of business aviation is flexibility. Flexibility to land whenever and wherever. So yes, a private jet can not only land at an international airport but also at a domestic and regional facility, thus getting closer to the client’s destination and saving money on ground transportation.

4. What’s an FBO?

A fixed-base operator (FBO) is the private terminal passengers use before and after a flight. It’s regularly equipped with a lounge, cafeteria, restrooms, meeting rooms, and security check areas. Passengers usually board their plane 10 minutes after arrival, making this one of the best perks of flying private compared to commercial air travel.

5. What’s an empty leg flight?

It’s basically the opportunity to live the private jet experience for half the price. How? There are flights that become available after repositioning, when clients only ask for a one-way ticket, thus flying empty towards the base. This leg is offered at a discounted price because operators will try to maximize a flight that’s going to happen anyway, empty or full of passengers.

6. Can pets fly in private planes?

Sure, they can. Your dog or cat can travel right beside you. Although some unwritten rules apply in most operators, such as using a body harness for larger pets or a carrier for the smaller ones, in both cases attached to a seat belt during take-offs and landings.

7. What are the in-flight services provided?

That depends on your creativity. From tailoring your menu to meeting the crew and asking for last-minute changes in the flight plan (even in mid-air), how you live your private jet experience is completely up to you. And you will be able to board your flight only an hour after booking it.

5 Islands in the Bahamas and the Turboprop Aircraft to Take You There

The Bahamas is a unique island destination with some of the most sought-after fishing, diving, and eco-tourism spots in the world. Shaped by natural elements over time into nature’s masterpieces, 700 islands make up the Bahamas. No matter which islands visitors choose to explore in this eco-paradise, they will discover unspoiled white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and shallow coral reefs teeming with marine life.

In quaint towns, visitors are greeted with warm Bahamian hospitality. Locals share the story of their rich cultural heritage through handmade crafts, traditional recipes made with locally harvested seafood, and the annual celebration of Junkanoo, a lively Caribbean carnival. In this island paradise, a world away from the stress of everyday life, leisure travelers will enjoy an authentic Caribbean experience surrounded by nature’s tropical beauty.

Below we share five popular islands in the Bahamas to consider adding to your itinerary and a few options for your privately chartered flight in a turboprop aircraft.

1. The Abacos

Situated in the northern Bahamas, the Abacos are a favorite destination for boaters, divers, and fishing enthusiasts. The two main islands in the island chain are Great Abaco and Little Abaco. Great Abaco’s clear, shallow waters are host to colorful colonies of soft corals, sea caverns, and underwater wrecks. At the northernmost tip of the Bahamas, Walkers Cay is a famous spot for diving with spectacular coral formations and dramatic underwater seascapes.

Marsh Harbour is the center of commercial activity in the Abacos and is home to more than 6,000 residents. As visitors stroll to the market or marina, they will notice the town’s casual island charm, despite being a busy hub for tourism and trade.

2. Bimini

Bimini is situated just 50 miles off the coast of Florida where Florida’s Gulf Stream meets the Bahama Banks. Settled in the early 1920s, Bimini is made up of three islands (North Bimini, South Bimini, and East Bimini) that attract divers and fishing enthusiasts from around the world. Most residents live on North Bimini in Bailey Town. Nearby Alice Town is a hive of activity, buzzing with lively restaurants, shops, and bars.

Bimini was once home to famed author Ernest Hemingway from 1935-1937. During his stay on the island, Hemingway wrote "Islands in the Stream" and sections of "To Have and Have Not”.
