With a full cabin

They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Departing Philadelphia
Flying out of Philadelphia
Northeast Philadelphia is the general aviation field for the city and the Bucks County corridor, and it avoids PHL entirely — which on a weekday afternoon is worth a great deal more than the ten miles it costs you.
- Avoids Philadelphia International and its delay programs
- Central to Bucks County and the northern suburbs
- A comfortable light-jet leg to both Florida and the Midwest
Arriving Miami
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport
Opa-locka is Miami private aviation. It is the busiest general aviation field in the region and the natural gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean, with the customs and handling infrastructure that implies.
- The primary private gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America
- Customs and international handling on the field
- Avoids Miami International entirely, which is worth a great deal

The configurator checks routed distance against realistic full-cabin range, so it will never recommend an aircraft that cannot actually make the trip with everyone aboard.

How long is the flight from Philadelphia to Miami by private jet?
Approximately 2h 35m – 2h 58m in a light jet, over about 891 nautical miles direct. That is an estimated range including taxi time — winds and routing move it either way, and westbound legs typically run longer than eastbound.
Which aircraft is best for Philadelphia to Miami?
