Why New York to Palm Beach flies private

Teterboro to Palm Beach is the busiest private aviation corridor on the East Coast and one of the most-flown routes in the country. It is the New York to South Florida pipeline that runs hardest from late fall through spring as the season shifts south.

It is also the cleanest example of the all-in cost conversation: a midsize or super-midsize jet, roughly two and a half hours nonstop, priced one transparent way. Against a packed commercial nonstop, a checked bag, and a lost afternoon on each end, the math gets honest fast.

Both ends are purpose-built for private travel. Teterboro is the primary jet gateway to Manhattan; Palm Beach International keeps dedicated private terminals minutes from the island. As a Stratos Jets franchise, we place you on vetted operators that fly this leg constantly.

Aircraft

The best jets for New York to Palm Beach

There is no single best jet, only the best jet for your group, your gear, and this route. Here is how we think about it.

Best value
Cessna Citation XLS+ private jet
9–12 pax
441 kts
2,100 nm
5'7"
Midsize Jet

Citation XLS+ (Midsize Jet)

Comfortable nonstop range for the roughly two-and-a-half-hour leg with a stand-up cabin and real baggage room. For two to seven passengers, it is usually the smartest dollar-for-dollar choice on this route.

Worth noting: Tight for a large group of eight-plus with a full load of luggage.
Full Citation XLS+ specs
More cabin
Hawker Beechcraft Hawker 900XP private jet
8–9 pax
450 kts
2,930 nm
5'9"
Midsize Jet

Hawker 900XP (Midsize Jet)

A wider, quieter cabin than the XLS+ with strong range, ideal when you want more room to work or relax over the flight without stepping up to a heavy jet.

Worth noting: Higher hourly rate than the XLS+ for similar mission capability.
Full Hawker 900XP specs
Largest group
Gulfstream Gulfstream G550 private jet
14–19 pax
488 kts
6,750 nm
6'2"
Heavy Jet

Gulfstream G550 (Heavy Jet)

When you are moving a larger group or want a full stand-up cabin, galley, and room to spread out, the G550 turns the trip into the best part of the day. Range to spare on this leg.

Worth noting: Significant step up in cost; usually more aircraft than this distance needs unless the group or comfort calls for it.
