Fly privately from London to Miami and start the winter season the right way: a nine-hour cabin of your own, then Opa-Locka’s private terminal and a fifteen-minute drive to South Beach. This route surges every winter with families, yacht owners and Art Basel traffic escaping the European cold.
Why Fly Private from London to Miami?
- Around 9 hours nonstop on heavy and ultra-long-range jets
- Opa-Locka arrival is 16 km from downtown — MIA can take that long kerb-to-kerb
- US customs clears you at the FBO, not the immigration hall
- Room for serious luggage: season wardrobes, golf bags, kite gear
- Natural jumping-off point for the Bahamas and Caribbean by short hop
Nonstop or fuel stop?
At about 7,120 km, Miami sits within nonstop reach of the heavy category and above. A Gulfstream G450 or Global 5000 crosses in roughly 9h 15m westbound. Choosing a super-midsize like the Challenger 350 brings the price down meaningfully in exchange for one technical stop — Santa Maria in the Azores or Bermuda are typical — adding around an hour to the day.
Popular Aircraft for This Route
- Challenger 350 – best value with a mid-Atlantic stop
- Gulfstream G450 – nonstop with a full-service galley
- Global 5000 – widest cabin in its class for the long leg
Which airports does this route use?
London departures split between Farnborough, Luton and Stansted according to schedule and aircraft size. In South Florida, Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) leads for Miami Beach and Brickell, Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) works well for Broward and yachting hubs, and Miami Executive (TMB) suits the southern suburbs. All offer on-site US Customs.
