Miami is one of the busiest private aviation markets in the country, and it’s a favorite for Villoura guests. Here’s what to know about airports, typical flight times and where to stay.
Which Miami-area airport?
- Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF): a dedicated general aviation airport north of the city, popular for its long runways and private terminals.
- Miami Executive (TMB): southwest of the city, convenient for Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and points south.
- Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE): a busy business aviation airport serving Fort Lauderdale and northern Miami-Dade.
- Miami International (MIA): has private terminals, but busier airline traffic means most charter guests use the airports above.
Your operator will suggest the best fit for your aircraft, schedule and final destination.
Typical flight times
Los Angeles to Miami: roughly 4.5 to 5.5 hours nonstop, depending on aircraft and winds. Midsize jets may need a fuel stop; super-midsize and heavy jets usually fly nonstop.
New York to Miami: roughly 2.5 to 3 hours, well within the range of light and midsize jets.

Tips for flying private to Miami
- Book early for peak periods like winter holidays and major events such as Art Basel, when slots and aircraft get tight.
- Pick the airport closest to where you’re staying to shorten ground time.
- Arrange ground transport in advance; our concierge can help Villoura guests.
Where to stay
Pair your flight with a private villa: waterfront homes, pools and space for the whole group. Explore Villoura’s Miami villas. Villa stays and flights are separate services with separate prices.
