Popular routes
South for the season, and home again.
Choosing a route fills in both airports on the request form.

No. 4

Safety and standards
Certificated operators, and the checks behind them.
We arrange your flight; a certificated air carrier operates it and holds operational control of the aircraft.
Part 135 carriers
Charter flights in the US are operated by certificated air carriers under FAA rules for crews, maintenance and operations.
Independent audits
ARGUS (Gold, Gold+, Platinum), Wyvern (Wingman) and IS-BAO (stages 1 to 3) review operators’ safety programs. We tell you which apply.
Rested crews
Federal duty and rest limits shape schedules, including on the busiest holiday weekends.
Named in writing
Your charter agreement names the operating carrier before you book.
How long is the flight from New York to Palm Beach?
About two and a half hours from Teterboro, depending on the aircraft and the winds. From Westchester the flight is similar.
Which airport should we use?
DJT, the renamed Palm Beach International, for the island and West Palm Beach; Boca Raton for Boca and Delray Beach; Fort Lauderdale Executive for stays further south. North Palm Beach County’s general aviation airport can suit smaller aircraft headed toward Jupiter.
When should we book the holidays?
For Christmas to New Year, as soon as plans allow; two to three months ahead is sensible. Thanksgiving and Presidents’ Day weekend also fill early.
May our dogs travel with us?
On many aircraft, yes, with the operator’s approval. Mention them in your request and we will only quote aircraft that welcome them.
Can you arrange the flight south in December and home in April?
Certainly. Many households fly south for the season and north again in spring; we can quote each as a one-way or plan the pair together.
Is there a membership or a deposit?
Neither is needed to ask. Quotes are free; payment terms are set out in the charter agreement when you book.
What does the price include?
One figure covering the flying and positioning, airport and handling charges, the crew’s costs, the 7.5% federal excise tax and the segment fees. Catering and other extras are listed on their own lines.
