Miami to Aspen Jet Charter
Flying on a private jet charter from Miami to Aspen represents an extreme change in holiday scenery. You’ll be trading in your beach towels and bikinis for snowboards and balaclavas. Each city is fun and exciting in its own way; it just depends on where your preferences lie. Charter flights between Aspen and Miami are actually fairly common year-round. While the former is regarded primarily as a winter resort destination, there’s enough to see and do during the summer months to warrant an influx of travelers in search of outdoor experiences. Miami, as we all know, is glorious for most of the year, except when hurricane season is in effect between August and October.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet from Miami to Aspen?
A private jet charter from Miami to Aspen will take you more than half way across the United States. Not all aircraft types can manage a flight of that duration. In fact, a midsize jet is about as small as you’d want to go to for a mission of that type. Something like a Lear 55, which can cruise at an impressive 527mph, and can carry 7 passengers, would require a fuel-stop, but cost about $25,000 for a one-way journey. Moving up to a super-midsize jet, a trip aboard a Citation Sovereign would come in at around $30,000, whereas a heavy jet would cost about $45,000. Choosing which charter plane is right for you will come down to a number of factors, the most important of which is your budget. If you can get by with a smaller aircraft, you’ll save some money. If you want to splurge a little, or you’re travelling with a group, then a larger aircraft will be the best bet.

How Long Does a Private Jet Between Aspen and Miami Take?
The average private jet charter between Aspen and Miami will take roughly four hours in total flight time. Larger, more modern aircraft tend to have more powerful turbofan engines, enabling them to complete the mission faster than a smaller jet. For a journey of that distance, you could shave as much as 30 to 45 minutes off your flight time with a jet charter capable of high-end cruise speeds. On the other hand, if you’re looking to find the most economical charter flight possible, and you don’t mind spending a little more time in the sky, a midsize jet will still provide a comfortable ride.

Miami Area Airports
As a major economic center, Miami is serviced by a number of primary and secondary airports. Aspen, on the other hand, is located in a remote region, and its primary attraction is a major winter holiday destination. As such, it doesn’t enjoy the same airport infrastructure as its Floridian counterpart.
Aspen Area Airports
The best option for flying into and out of Aspen is through Aspen-Pitken County Airport (ASE), which is just four miles from the city center. Private aviation consumers have many more options when it comes to Miami, including several smaller executive airports that are ideal for private jet charters between Miami and Aspen:
Empty Leg Flights from Aspen to Miami
Most travelers head to Aspen for a holiday, which means they typically request one-way jet charters between Miami and Aspen. That’s because it isn’t economically viable for an aircraft and crew to remain away from base for long periods. Instead, they will either resume duty for another charter flight, or return to base.
In the latter instance, if the aircraft is flying empty (known as an empty leg flight), the operational costs come out of the operator’s pocket. To avoid this, they will often advertise this empty leg at a reduced rate.
This represents an opportunity for travelers looking for deals on charter flights between Miami and Aspen. You won’t necessarily get to dictate the schedule, airport or aircraft type like you would with a normal jet charter, but you do stand to save thousands of dollars on the flight cost.
