What moves the price
DeKalb-Peachtree is the usual departure, northeast of Buckhead.
Holidays and big events push quotes up fast. Art Basel Miami Beach in early December is the most expensive week of the year to fly in.
Aircraft availability near Peachtree on your date matters as well.
What the price leaves out
Before comparing two quotes, check whether they include these:
- Airport and private terminal charges at both ends (PDK and OPF).
- If the jet stays in Miami for your return, you pay for the crew's hotel and meals.
A good broker will give you the all-in figure without being asked twice. Every fee is explained in our guide to charter fees.

Which airports to use
Leaving Atlanta
Peachtree (PDK), about 5 miles from Buckhead is the usual departure.
Arriving in Miami
- Opa-locka (OPF), about 12 miles from Miami Beach in a straight line. Where most private traffic into Miami goes. Customs available for international legs.
- Miami Executive (TMB), about 21 miles from Miami Beach in a straight line. Southwest of the city. Closest option for Coral Gables, Pinecrest and Kendall.
Choosing the right aircraft
Most people book a light jet here. A midsize mainly buys you headroom and space for bulky luggage.
Good to know on this route
- Opa-locka handles most private arrivals in Miami; Miami Executive is closer for Coral Gables and Kendall.
- A light jet is usually enough for four passengers on this route.
- The winter season runs roughly November to April.
Getting a better price
- Book the return together: keeping the same aircraft for the return is often cheaper than booking two separate one-way trips.
- Be open on airports: a nearby airport sometimes has a cheaper aircraft available.
- Fly midweek: Fridays and Sundays are the busiest days, so a Tuesday or Wednesday departure often costs less.
- Book peak dates early: for holidays and big events, aircraft run out and prices climb in the last two weeks.
