Frequently Asked Questions
What are the entry requirements when flying private to Miami?
Private jet passengers to Miami must follow the United States’ entry rules. A valid passport is required, and travellers from countries in the Visa Waiver Program must also complete an ESTA authorisation before departure. Nationals who require a visa must obtain it in advance. Your LunaJets advisor will confirm the requirements for your nationality and ensure the necessary documents are in place for a smooth arrival.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Miami?
It’s best to book a few weeks in advance to secure your preferred aircraft and slots, especially during high-demand periods such as Art Basel in December, the Miami International Boat Show in February, and the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in May. These events drive a surge in private jet traffic across all Miami-area airports. That said, LunaJets often succeeds in arranging flights to Miami at short notice, even when demand is high.
Can I bring pets on a private jet to Miami? What are the rules?
Yes. Pets can travel in the cabin with you when flying private to Miami, provided they meet US entry requirements. Dogs and cats must have a valid rabies vaccination certificate, and in some cases additional health documents may be required depending on your country of departure. Regulations can change, so it’s important to let your LunaJets advisor know in advance—we will confirm the latest requirements and arrange the necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth arrival.
What alternate airports can I use when flying private to Miami?
Private jet travellers to Miami can choose between several airports. Opa-Locka Executive (OPF) is the busiest private aviation hub, just 30 minutes from South Beach. Miami Executive (TMB), south of the city, is ideal if you are heading to the Keys. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) offers quick access to northern Miami and Palm Beach County. Miami International (MIA) is also available but usually less convenient for private flights due to commercial traffic and higher costs. Your LunaJets advisor will recommend the best airport based on your destination and schedule.
Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Miami airports for private jets?
No. Miami International (MIA), Miami Executive (TMB), and Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) all offer private jet access 24 hours a day. Opa-Locka Executive (OPF) also supports 24/7 operations, though some services (such as air traffic control tower operations) may have reduced hours or require prior arrangement outside regular hours. Your LunaJets advisor will verify the relevant airport’s hours for your specific flight and arrange everything to accommodate your arrival or departure.
