Recommended Jets for New York to Palm Beach
At 875 nautical miles, this is one of the most efficient long-leg routes on the East Coast: well within range for every midsize and super-midsize jet in our fleet. Aircraft choice usually comes down to passenger count, baggage volume, and cabin preference for the sub-2.5-hour ride.
Citation Excel/XLS
Midsize · Best ValueThe economic sweet spot for the New York to PBI run. Stand-up cabin, lavatory, and a typical block time of 2h 25m direct from Teterboro — perfect for couples and small families heading to the Town of Palm Beach.
Citation Sovereign
Super-Mid · ComfortThe right move for full eight-passenger groups or families with extensive seasonal luggage. Wider cabin, more legroom, and a generous baggage hold for golf bags, art shipments, and seasonal wardrobes heading to the Island.
Challenger 350
Super-Mid · PremiumThe flagship choice for board-level groups and high-profile families flying down for fundraisers and the Mar-a-Lago calendar. Flat-floor cabin, full galley, and the largest baggage capacity in the fleet for extended winter stays.
What a New York to Palm Beach Charter Typically Costs
One-way charter pricing on this route is driven primarily by aircraft category and date. Round-trip pairs with same-day or short-stay returns reduce repositioning costs significantly.
Estimates only. Peak weekends (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Easter, Mar-a-Lago events) add cost. For category-by-category math, see our private jet charter cost guide.

Palm Beach is the East Coast's most concentrated wealth-management corridor.
The New York to Palm Beach corridor is shaped by three repeat-customer profiles. The first is snowbird traffic — families with primary homes in Manhattan, Greenwich, or the Hamptons keeping a Palm Beach residence open from November through April. The second is the finance and wealth-management commute: principals at hedge funds and family offices who relocated South Florida operations after 2020 but still keep weekly New York meetings.
The third driver is the social calendar — the Mar-a-Lago events, Norton Museum benefits, the International Polo Club season, and the Breakers galas that anchor the Palm Beach winter. Flexibility on aircraft type and a few days of date latitude almost always lower the quote: round-trip pairs and weekday legs price better than single-direction Friday or Sunday flights.

New York ↔ Palm Beach Charter Questions
How long is a private jet flight from New York to Palm Beach?
Block time from the New York metro area (Teterboro, Westchester) to Palm Beach International is typically 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes. The Challenger 350 and Citation Sovereign are the fastest options on this route, while the Citation Excel/XLS adds about 10 minutes for a meaningful price reduction.
Which airports does flyExclusive use for New York to Palm Beach charter?
Common departure airports include Teterboro (TEB), Westchester County (HPN), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Republic (FRG), and Morristown (MMU). On the Florida end, Palm Beach International (PBI) is the primary gateway. Lantana (LNA) is a small-jet option, Boca Raton (BCT) serves the south county, and North Palm Beach County (F45) is convenient for Jupiter and northern Palm Beach.
How much does it cost to charter a private jet from New York to Palm Beach?
One-way pricing typically ranges from approximately $13,000 for a midsize Citation Excel/XLS up to $28,000+ for a Challenger 350. Final pricing depends on aircraft type, fuel, fees, and trip structure. See our private jet charter cost guide for a category-by-category breakdown.
What is the best aircraft for a New York to Palm Beach charter?
For groups of six or fewer with normal baggage, the Citation Excel/XLS is typically the best value. For full eight-passenger families with seasonal luggage, golf bags, or art-handling needs, the Citation Sovereign or Challenger 350 are the right choice. The Challenger 350 in particular is preferred for board-level travel.
Can I fly into Lantana (LNA) or Boca Raton (BCT) instead of PBI?
Yes. Lantana (LNA) is well-suited for very light and light jets and offers shorter ground times than PBI. Boca Raton (BCT) is the right call for clients staying south of Delray Beach. Note that LNA has runway length restrictions that exclude super-midsize jets like the Challenger 350.
If I fly New York to Palm Beach often, should I consider a membership?
If you're flying this route more than 8 to 10 times a year — which is typical for snowbird families and finance commuters — the Jet Club is usually more cost-effective than on-demand charter and locks your hourly rate for 24 months.
