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.
