The Right Jet for Your Journey

Three cabin classes to match your comfort, group size, and budget.

Midsize Jet

Citation Sovereign+

8–9 Passengers
3,200 NM range
458 mph cruise

The Citation Sovereign+ flies the VNY–OPF segment efficiently with a full stand-up cabin and enclosed lavatory. At 2,000 NM, this is one of the sweet-spot routes for midsize charter — long enough to matter, short enough to stay refreshed.

Ideal for: Executive groups, business travel, couples and families up to 9 passengers.
Super-Midsize Jet

Challenger 350

9–10 Passengers
3,200 NM range
470 mph cruise

The Challenger 350's wide cabin, low cabin altitude, and whisper-quiet interior make the LA to Miami segment genuinely enjoyable. More legroom, more standing room, and a full aft galley to keep guests refreshed.

Ideal for: Groups of up to 10, leisure travelers, anyone who values spacious comfort on cross-country flights.
Heavy Jet

Gulfstream G550

14–16 Passengers
6,750 NM range
488 mph cruise

The Gulfstream G550 elevates the LA to Miami route to an event. Multiple seating configurations, dual lavatories, a dedicated forward lounge, and enough range to divert or continue anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.

Ideal for: Large groups, entertainment travel, luxury leisure, anyone who wants the ultimate cabin experience.
The Experience

From Pacific to Atlantic in Hours

Los Angeles to Miami is a route made for private aviation. Two sun-driven cities, one effortless flight. Depart Van Nuys after your last meeting, and you're poolside in Miami before dinner.

The Van Nuys FBO is your gateway — no commercial traffic, no TSA, no gate holds. Your crew is ready. Your catering is loaded. The west coast recedes at 500 miles per hour and Miami's skyline appears four hours later over the Everglades.

Land at Opa-locka Executive and your car is waiting on the ramp. South Beach is 20 minutes away. Brickell is 14 miles east. You didn't lose a single hour to an airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first private charter flight.

The VNY to OPF segment takes approximately 4 hours 15 minutes on a midsize or super-midsize jet. A heavy jet can complete the segment in similar time. Eastbound flights may benefit slightly from the jet stream.

We primarily depart from Van Nuys Airport (VNY) in Los Angeles and arrive at Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF), 14 miles north of Downtown Miami. Burbank (BUR), Long Beach (LGB), and John Wayne (SNA) are available in LA. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) and Palm Beach (PBI) are available in South Florida.

One-way pricing on this route typically ranges from $30,000–$46,000 for a midsize jet, $40,000–$60,000 for a super-midsize Challenger 350, and from $62,000 for a heavy Gulfstream G550. Contact us for a current, availability-based quote.

Yes. All three aircraft options we offer on this route have sufficient range for a nonstop VNY to OPF flight under standard payload and fuel conditions.

Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. Van Nuys is a dedicated general aviation airport — your FBO will direct you straight to the aircraft. No security screening, no check-in counters, no terminal queues.

Empty legs are periodically available on the VNY–OPF corridor, especially during peak winter and spring seasons when Miami demand is high. Contact us for current availability.

Same-day bookings are possible depending on available aircraft in the LA area. We recommend contacting us as early as possible — we can often confirm same-day charters within 2–4 hours.

Catering is fully customizable. We work with top LA catering companies to prepare fresh meals, snacks, and beverages tailored to your preferences. Special dietary requirements, pre-arrival Miami dining suggestions, and alcohol can all be arranged.
