Miami is the gateway between the US Northeast, Latin America, and the Caribbean, with Opa-Locka Executive handling the bulk of private traffic. Demand spikes hard around the winter-sun season and marquee events. On the Miami end, private flights usually use Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) and Miami Executive (TMB), boarding at a private FBO terminal rather than an airline terminal.
At 203 miles this is light jets territory: aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it nonstop in about 50m. Demand out of Miami peaks around December through April, plus Art Basel and the F1 weekend, when repositioning flights, and so empty legs, are most frequent.
An empty leg from Miami to St. Petersburg exists because an operator has to fly the aircraft along this route anyway, to reach its next client or to return to base, so it sells that one-way flight for the whole aircraft, typically 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter. The departure time follows the operator's schedule. If your dates are fixed, a full charter on the same route lets you choose the time.
