FAQ

A one-way private charter from Houston to Miami typically ranges from $14,500 to $28,500, depending on aircraft size and availability. Light jets (like the Phenom 300) start at the lower end of that range, while Super-Midsize jets (like the Challenger 350) represent the higher end due to increased cabin space and speed.

The flight time is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 hours and 45 minutes. High-performance Light and Midsize jets can often shave 15-20 minutes off the standard commercial flight time by flying at higher altitudes and taking more direct routing.

Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) is the primary choice for private aviation. It is dedicated to general aviation, meaning zero commercial airline traffic. It is located just 20 minutes from South Beach and Downtown Miami, whereas Miami International (MIA) can involve significant taxi and ground traffic delays.

One of the primary benefits of flying with FlyRoving is speed. You only need to arrive at the FBO (Private Terminal) 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled departure. Your flight is ready when you are.

Yes. FlyRoving is a pet-friendly charter service. Your pets can travel in the cabin with you rather than in the cargo hold, provided they are properly restrained during takeoff and landing. Please inform your coordinator in advance so we can prepare the cabin.

Luggage capacity depends on the aircraft. As a general rule:

  • Light Jets: 5-6 medium soft-sided bags.

  • Midsize Jets: 7-9 medium bags. We highly recommend soft-sided luggage, as it allows for much more efficient packing in the aircraft’s specialized cargo compartments.


At many of our preferred FBOs, such as Henriksen Jet Center (TME) or Fontainebleau Aviation (OPF), "ramp access" is available. This allows your ground transportation to drive directly to the side of the jet for immediate boarding and luggage transfer.
