FLL EYW

Private jet charter from Fort Lauderdale to Key West

The route from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Key West (EYW) covers approximately 233 km, with a median block time of 1h 04m on flights we actually tracked.

Traffic between Fort Lauderdale and Key West is thin — 14 private flights tracked in 12 months, so aircraft are usually positioned in from elsewhere and one-way pricing is the norm.

Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 04m, about 48 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

No single type owns this route: the Embraer Phenom 300 leads with 22% of movements, with the Cessna Citation Excel and Beechcraft Premier I close behind, so availability across cabin classes is usually good.

The smallest cabin that covers 233 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.

Money-Saving Tips
You are billed for 1h 04m of block time on this sector, not for the 233 km — an aircraft based at either end saves more than a cheaper hourly rate
Ask for the Embraer Phenom 300 first: it is the type most often flown here, so it is the least likely to be positioned in empty
Take an empty leg if the date is flexible — repositioning flights on this direction run well below the normal rate
Compare multiple aircraft options rather than the cheapest hourly rate alone
Book 24-48 hours ahead: same-day requests pay for whatever is available, not for what fits
