Palm Beach International serves the wealthiest stretch of South Florida, from Palm Beach island to Jupiter. Its private terminals fill from the holidays through the spring social season. 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.
Most West Palm Beach–Miami private traffic moves through dedicated business-aviation airports rather than the crowded commercial terminals. On the West Palm Beach end that means Palm Beach International (PBI); arrivals into Miami favor Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) and Miami Executive (TMB). Flying these FBO-served fields means curb-to-cabin in minutes and no main-terminal queues on either side.
At 54 miles this is squarely light jets territory — aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it comfortably nonstop, which is why they make up most of the empty-leg supply on the route. Demand peaks around Thanksgiving through the spring Palm Beach season out of West Palm Beach and December through April, plus Art Basel and the F1 weekend into Miami, when repositioning flights — and therefore empty legs — are most frequent.
