Take a Private Flight to Sunny Miami

You and your family deserve a special vacation, to a special place. How about sun, sand, blue skies and invigorating ocean breezes?

The Sunshine State of Florida comes instantly to mind, so why put it off?  Make your vacation extra special by booking a private jet to Miami.

Ask for a Charter Quote

First things first: How much is a private jet to Miami going to cost?

That depends, of course, on the distance involved along with the size of aircraft.

The jet charter company will put a pricing package together when you provide a bit of information:

  • The number of people in your party
  • Your estimated departure dates and times
  • The size or type of aircraft you prefer
  • Your priorities as to cost, speed and age of aircraft

Pricing Notations

Several perks will be bundled into the pricing for your trip on a private jet to Miami.

One of these will likely be limousine transportation. In-flight dining and entertainment options are always available.

You should keep in mind, however, that the costs associated with your flight will also include certain taxes and current jet fuel pricing.

Just as Safe as an Airliner

Private jets are held to the same high safety standards as their commercial brethren.

Private jet fleets are generally younger than commercial fleets and jet charter companies often employ higher maintenance standards.

You would do well to choose a charter operator that is approved by third-party aviation safety auditors, such as Wyvern Consulting, Ltd.

Comparing a Private Flight to First-Class Commercial

Taking a special vacation using a private jet to Miami may not be something you can do every year, and you may wonder if flying commercial would do just as well.

In terms of convenience, privacy and comfort, however, there is no comparison. And when you crunch the numbers, you might find that the cost involved with a private charter compares quite favorably with a first-class commercial flight.

New Yorkers Love the Convenience of Private Jet Travel

The New York lifestyle is frenetic at times.

The successful closing of an important business deal often requires face-to-face negotiations, and that may mean taking the fastest route to a crucial meeting.

The perfect solution may be a New York private jet charter.

Avoid the lines at the airport, breeze through security and board your aircraft before ordinary travelers have even left the airline ticket counter.

Putting the Costs Together

The cost of a New York private jet charter includes in-flight dining, movie entertainment and it often includes limousine transportation.

If your jet charter company is an on-demand provider, you will normally only pay for your flight by the hour; you will not be charged for the time you do not use. Keep in mind that pricing also includes the jet fuel charge as well as certain taxes.

Cut a Deal of Your Own

A private jet flight is definitely not cheap, but as a savvy business person, you probably know that.

What you might not know, however, is that special offers are available and one of them is the ability to take advantage of repositioning flights.

About 40% of private flights go empty. These are one-way, “empty leg” flights with no passengers aboard.

Ask your private charter company about them; you might be able to find one going your way at a discount of up to 50%.

Easing Safety Concerns

If you are a seasoned flier, you will probably not be concerned with safety issues.

Those new to jet charters can relax, knowing that private jets are at least as safe as their commercial counterparts, and perhaps more so.

Many private charter companies opt for maintenance standards that are higher than regulations require.

Pressing Your Advantage

That big business deal waits for no man (or woman). When speed is of the essence, a New York private jet charter may be your best route to a successful closing—and perhaps a well-deserved bonus.
