Nashville International is on the east side of town, about 15 minutes from downtown in normal traffic. Its longest runway is over 11,000 ft, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the planned load and conditions, and on a leg this long a midsize or super midsize jet is common. You board from the general aviation ramp about 15 minutes before departure. John C. Tune on the west side works for a light or midsize jet if that is closer to home, and Smyrna serves the southeast side.

BNA · Nashville International
OPF · Opa Locka Executive
Opa Locka Executive is the business jet airport for Miami, about 12 miles north of downtown. Count on about 25 to 35 minutes to Brickell and downtown, about 30 to 40 minutes to South Beach, about 20 minutes to Aventura and about 25 minutes to Bal Harbour. The runway is over 8,000 ft, with aircraft suitability confirmed for the planned load and conditions. There is no airline traffic, so you taxi straight to the FBO.
MIA · Miami International
Miami International has a general aviation ramp on the west side of the field. It wins for Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne and Brickell, which are about 15 to 25 minutes away, and for very large aircraft. Taxi times run longer than at Opa Locka because you share the field with the airlines.
FLL · Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International
Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International wins when you are staying in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Hallandale or Aventura, about 10 to 25 minutes away. Its runways are over 8,000 ft that requires a performance review for the specific airplane, load and conditions. Downtown Miami is about 30 to 40 minutes south.
Alternates
JWN · John C. Tune
The quieter field on the west side of Nashville, about 15 minutes from downtown, with a runway of about 5,500 ft that suits light and midsize jets.
MQY · Smyrna
On the southeast side, about 25 to 35 minutes from downtown, with an 8,000 ft runway that requires a performance review for the specific airplane, load and conditions and saves the drive for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
From the cockpit
What a pilot would tell you about this leg.
Miami is busy from November to April, with the tightest weeks around Art Basel in early December, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day, spring break in March and the Miami Grand Prix in early May. In those weeks aircraft book early and quotes land in the upper half of the range. Summer is quieter, hotter and easier on price, with afternoon storms on many days.
- Nashville is on Central time and Miami is on Eastern. You land an hour later by the clock.
- Miami airspace is busy. Arrivals into Opa Locka often route around the airline flows and add a few minutes. The flight time on this page is typical; the quote sets the schedule.
- On a leg this long a midsize jet gives you an enclosed lavatory and room to work. The estimate shows the light and midsize ranges side by side so you can weigh it.
- If the trip continues to the Bahamas or the Caribbean, tell us. Opa Locka has customs on the field and the operator handles the international paperwork.

Fair questions
Nashville to Miami questions.
How much does a private jet from Nashville to Miami cost?
Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range for each cabin size. It moves with your dates, one way or round trip, and the number of seats. Event weeks and holidays land in the upper half. Your quote will be exact and after the desk reviews the trip.
Which Miami airport should we use?
Opa Locka (OPF) for Miami and Miami Beach, with no airline traffic and about 25 to 40 minutes to Brickell or South Beach. Miami International (MIA) for Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) for Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Aventura. Tell us where you are staying and we choose.
How long is the flight?
The flight time under the heading is the typical time in the air. Add about 15 minutes at each end for boarding and taxi, and a few minutes for Miami arrival routing on a busy day. There is no connection and no security line.
How far ahead should I book?
Three to five days is comfortable for a normal week. For Art Basel, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day, spring break and the Grand Prix, plan two to three weeks ahead. The estimate flags peak dates so you know what to expect.
Can we go on to the Bahamas from Miami?
Yes. A trip that continues to Nassau, the Abacos or the Exumas is quoted as one itinerary. Everyone needs a passport, the operator files the customs paperwork, and you clear customs on the field at Opa Locka on the way home. Ask for it in the notes when you submit.
