Houston to Miami is a year-round favorite for both business and leisure — a comfortable 2h 20m nonstop to South Florida.
Aircraft & cabin
A midsize jet (Citation Latitude, Challenger 350) is the sweet spot: stand-up cabin, full baggage for a beach or business trip, and easy nonstop range. Light jets can make it, but the midsize cabin is worth it on this length.
What it costs
Typically $16,000–22,000 one-way. Miami’s peak weekends (Art Basel, Formula 1, spring events) push demand and pricing — book early around marquee dates.
Airports
Opa-locka (OPF) is the primary private-jet field north of the city; Miami-Opa Executive and Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) are strong alternatives depending on where you’re staying.
