Private Jet Charter from Fort Lauderdale & Miami: The Complete Guide
Based in Fort Lauderdale, UNIQ Private Jets is positioned at the center of one of the busiest private aviation corridors in the country. This guide covers everything you need to know before booking: which airport to use, what aircraft fits your trip, and how our pricing works.
Which Airport: Fort Lauderdale or Miami?
Most of our charters depart from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) - both offer faster ground access and less commercial congestion than Miami International (MIA). If you're coming from South Beach, Coral Gables, or Miami's business district, Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) is often the closer option. We'll confirm the best departure point for your specific location and aircraft when you request a quote.
Our Fleet: What's Actually Available
Rather than list every possible aircraft class, here's what we actively fly and recommend, by mission:
-
Regional hops (Bahamas, Southeast U.S.): our light jet options, plus the Hawker 800XP for groups up to 8
-
Coast-to-coast or Caribbean: the Falcon 50, with a 3,200 nm range and seating for 9
-
Long-range and transatlantic: the Falcon 900B (4,000 nm, 13 passengers) or Gulfstream IV-SP (roughly 4,220 nm, 13 passengers)
-
Photo and video production: our dedicated shoot aircraft, including a Boeing 737 main cabin

Why Our Pricing Is Different
Most charter quotes you'll see come from brokers reselling access to aircraft they don't own. Our fleet is offered either directly through ownership relationships or through partner operators we work with regularly — which is why UNIQ pricing typically comes in below standard broker rates for the same aircraft category. See our complete cost breakdown for chartering a private jet in 2026 for what actually drives pricing (aircraft category, route length, positioning costs, and timing).
Booking On Short Notice
Same-day and next-day charter is common out of Fort Lauderdale, especially with [last-minute charter and empty leg options] — a good way to fly at a meaningfully lower cost if your dates have some flexibility.
