Private Jet from New York to Palm Beach: Cost, Flight Time and Airports
What a charter costs, how long it takes, which airports to use and which aircraft fly it nonstop, from the desk that books it.

The Short Answer
A private jet from New York to Palm Beach costs about $23,000 to $40,000 one way on a midsize jet such as the Cessna Citation XLS+, by our Jet Fare Index estimate. The flight covers 1,038 miles and takes around 3 hours in the air. Stepping up to a super-midsize jet runs about $26,000 to $44,000.
That is the price of the whole aircraft, so it is split by everyone on board. It is an estimate from what clients paid on charters booked through our desk, not a quote: your dates, where the nearest aircraft sits and whether you fly back with the same jet all move it.

Airports at Each End
Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey handles most New York charters, about 12 miles from Midtown. Westchester County (HPN) suits Greenwich and the northern suburbs.
Palm Beach International (PBI) is the main airport for private flights to Palm Beach, a short drive from the island. Boca Raton (BCT) serves the southern end of the county.
What to Know About the Route
This is one of the busiest private jet routes in the US in winter. The season runs from the autumn into spring, and the weeks around Thanksgiving, Christmas and Presidents' Day are the hardest to find an aircraft for.
Many jets fly back north empty after the holiday weeks, so the return is where empty legs turn up.
How to Pay Less
Look for an empty leg: an aircraft repositioning on your route sells the flight for well under a full charter, though it can be cancelled if the owner needs the jet. Our empty-leg database lists the companies that publish them, and the desk checks them when it quotes.
Be flexible on time and airport. A departure that suits an aircraft already nearby saves the positioning flight that the estimate averages in, and a quieter airport can cost less to use.
If you are coming back within a day or two, ask for a round trip with the aircraft waiting as well as two one-way flights, and compare. Our guide to what a private jet costs lists the fees a full quote should include.
