The Experience

Westward to Warmth Across the Atlantic

London to Miami is one of private aviation's great transatlantic routes. Two world-class cities, one nonstop passage. Depart Luton in the morning and the warmth of South Florida is yours before the day is out — thanks to the five-hour time gain built into the westward crossing.

The Luton FBO is your gateway — no Heathrow congestion, no commercial queues. Your crew is ready. Your catering is loaded to your specification. The British Isles fall away behind you, and the North Atlantic stretches ahead for nine hours of complete privacy.

Touch down at Opa-locka Executive and your car is waiting on the ramp. US Customs at the private terminal takes minutes. South Beach is 20 minutes away. You've crossed an ocean and lost not a single unnecessary hour.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The westbound London to Miami crossing takes approximately 9 hours 45 minutes in a heavy jet. This is longer than the eastbound return (around 8.5 hours) due to the prevailing North Atlantic westerly headwinds. Ultra-long-range jets with higher cruise speeds can reduce this slightly.

Yes. Heavy jets such as the Gulfstream G550 and G650, and ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X, have sufficient range for the nonstop London to Miami crossing in both directions. The Challenger 604 is also capable under favourable wind conditions.

London Luton Airport (LTN), Farnborough Airport (FAB), and London Biggin Hill (BQH) are the primary private aviation departure points for transatlantic flights from London. Each offers excellent FBO services without the commercial congestion of Heathrow. Stansted (STN) is also available with a dedicated private terminal.

With approximately 9h 45m flight time and a 5-hour time gain flying westward, a morning departure from London at around 9 AM GMT delivers arrival in Miami at approximately 2 PM local time — ideal for afternoon meetings or a leisurely check-in.

The westbound transatlantic passage typically ranges from £70,000 to £130,000 for a heavy jet charter. Ultra-long-range aircraft command a premium. All quotations are all-inclusive and fully transparent — no fuel surcharges added after the fact.

Standard US entry requirements apply regardless of how you arrive. British citizens benefit from the Visa Waiver Programme (ESTA); other nationalities require appropriate US visas. Private terminal arrival at Opa-locka does not exempt passengers from US Customs and Border Protection procedures, though processing is far more expedient than at commercial airports.

Yes. Heavy jet and ultra-long-range aircraft feature fully flat-bed configurations suitable for restful sleep. Many clients arrange a morning departure, spend part of the crossing at rest, and arrive in Miami refreshed. The Global 7500's master stateroom is the benchmark for sleeping comfort on transatlantic routes.

Long-range private jets on this route accommodate between 8 and 19 passengers. The Challenger 604 seats up to 10; the Gulfstream G550 up to 16; and the Global 7500 up to 19, with dedicated private quarters for the principal passenger.
