Falcon 900LX Private Jet Charter, Miami to New York
Published
Some aircraft age into institutions. The Falcon 900LX is the current keeper of a shape Dassault Aviation has been perfecting since the 1980s — the compact trijet, three engines clustered at the tail, a wing that makes short runways look long. It remains one of the most trusted ways to move 12 to 14 people between Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) and Teterboro Airport (TEB), nonstop in about 2 hours 30 minutes.
The LX earns its keep on substance: a 6 ft 2 in stand-up cabin, 7 ft 8 in wide, arranged over 33 ft into lounge and conference zones with a proper galley and cabin attendant. Winglets and modern engines keep it efficient for a trijet, which shows in the pricing — typically $42,000 to $63,000 one-way (estimated), sitting usefully below the newer flagships.
- 4,750 nm range
- 488 ktas cruise
- 12–14 passengers

The classic trijet, still earning its keep
Three engines were Dassault's answer to a question owners still ask: how much margin do you want over water and short runways? On the Miami–New York corridor that translates into a jet that climbs out of summer build-ups quickly, cruises up to 51,000 ft where the air is glass, and lands calmly at fields that make some twins think twice. The 900LX carries 4,750 nm of range on this 1,000-nm errand — capability held in reserve, felt as ease.
The cabin has the full Falcon cross-section in a length that suits eight to fourteen travellers: most charter interiors pair a four-place club with a conference-and-divan arrangement, leaving a rear corner quiet enough to sleep. A 127 cu ft hold plus in-cabin wardrobes means every passenger checks a real case — no triaging luggage on the kerb at the FBO. The attendant works a galley sized for plated meals, not trays.
Value is the quiet argument. Because the 900-series has been in charter service for decades, the fleet is deep, crews know it intimately, and hourly rates undercut the newest metal while the passenger experience gives up remarkably little. For a company moving a full deal team up the coast, the arithmetic against splitting the party across two midsize jets usually favours the single 900LX outright.
- Trijet confidence: three engines, short-field poise, 51,000-ft ceilings
- Seats 12–14 across lounge and conference zones with attendant service
- About 2 h 30 m nonstop, Opa-locka to Teterboro
- Typically $42,000–$63,000 (estimated) — flagship comfort, sensible rate
How a 900LX charter day runs
Morning departure: your cars pull onto the ramp at Opa-locka fifteen minutes before wheels-up, coffee is already set forward, and the attendant has the day's papers and your catering aboard. Two and a half hours later you roll to a stop at Teterboro — 12 miles from Midtown — where your driver waits at the stairs. Every aircraft we propose operates under FAA Part 135 with two pilots and a cabin attendant as standard crew.
We usually shortlist two or three 900LX tails with different interior vintages and price points, each with an itemized quote within a few hours of your enquiry — photos included, so you choose the cabin, not just the type. If your group leans smaller and budget matters, the twin-engine Falcon 2000LXS shares the same cabin width for less; if you want the family's full-length flagship experience, ask about the Falcon 8X.

Frequently asked questions
What should I budget for a Falcon 900LX, Miami to New York?
Most one-way charters land between $42,000 and $63,000 (estimated), including fuel, crew, attendant, catering and airport fees. Older-interior tails price toward the low end; recently refurbished aircraft on peak dates reach the top. A confirmed quote follows your exact dates within hours.
Is a three-engine jet safer or just older thinking?
Neither, exactly — it is a design philosophy. Three engines give generous performance margins on hot days, heavy loads and short runways, which is why Dassault kept the layout current with the 900LX and its winglets. On this corridor you experience it as fast climbs and unhurried arrivals, flown by FAA Part 135 crews.
How many passengers does the 900LX carry on this leg?
Up to 14 in most charter configurations, with 8 to 12 the comfortable working number — a club of four, a conference group, and divan seating aft. Everyone travels with full-size luggage thanks to the 127 cu ft hold and generous cabin wardrobes.
How long does Miami to Teterboro take on this aircraft?
About 2 hours 30 minutes in the air at the 900LX's typical Mach 0.85–0.87 cruise, plus fifteen minutes at the FBO before departure. Seasonal winds swing the block ten to twenty minutes; evening arrivals into Teterboro occasionally absorb a short flow delay, which your crew plans around.
Can we bring pets, golf clubs and a fortnight's luggage?
Yes to all three, usually on the same trip. The hold takes a dozen large cases plus two or three golf sets, and many operators welcome pets in the cabin with notice — see our pet charter page. Flag anything oversized when you enquire and we confirm the fit before quoting.
