PBI

Palm Beach International

The airport for Palm Beach island, West Palm Beach, Wellington and Manalapan, and the default for the county. Any size aircraft, customs on the field, and a 10,000 foot runway.

  • Palm Beach island15 min
  • Wellington20 to 25 min
  • Jupiter25 to 35 min
  • Manalapan25 min
  • Delray Beach35 min
  • Boca Raton35 min
On the ground

Several FBOs on the general aviation side, each with a lounge, a ramp car and hangar space. In the holiday weeks book parking early; the ramps fill and the aircraft may overnight at Stuart or Boca instead.

SUA

Stuart Witham Field

The north end. It wins for Jupiter, Hobe Sound, Tequesta and Stuart, where it is closer than PBI, and it has customs on the field, which matters for a Bahamas return.

  • Hobe Sound15 min
  • Jupiter25 min
  • Palm Beach island45 min
On the ground

FBOs with lounges and ramp cars, no airline traffic, and an easier ramp in season than PBI. A good overnight home for an aircraft when the Palm Beach ramps are full.

BCT

Boca Raton

The south end. It wins for Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach, where it is closer than PBI, and for a light through super midsize jet.

  • Boca Raton10 min
  • Delray Beach15 min
  • Palm Beach island35 min
On the ground

FBO service with a lounge and ramp cars, a busy corporate ramp on weekdays, and none of the airline terminal around you.

When to go

The season in West Palm Beach.

  • Season runs from November through April.
  • The weeks that fill first are Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year's Day, Presidents Day weekend, the spring break weeks in March and Easter weekend.
  • The winter equestrian season in Wellington runs from January through March and adds steady weekend traffic on top.
  • In those weeks aircraft sell out early, PBI parking fills, and prices sit in the upper half of the range.
  • Southbound is tight in November and December and northbound is tight in April.
  • From May through October the market is quiet, aircraft are easier to find, and aircraft positioning can affect the options.

How we review the aircraft for your trip →
  1. 01

    Palm Beach island is 15 minutes from PBI in the off season and longer in the season traffic across the bridges. Plan the car for the bridge, not the map.

  2. 02

    Jupiter, Hobe Sound and Tequesta are closer to Stuart than to PBI, and Stuart has customs. For those clients it is the airport.

  3. 03

    PBI's ramps fill on the holiday weeks. The aircraft may drop you at PBI and overnight at Stuart or Boca; the positioning is in the quote.

  4. 04

    A Sunday evening departure in March waits its turn behind the airline push. Leave mid afternoon or Monday morning and you roll straight out.

  5. 05

    The Bahamas return has to clear customs on arrival in the US. PBI and Stuart both have customs on the field, so plan the whole trip around one of them.

  6. 06

    Wellington equestrian season runs January through March. The Sunday departures after a show weekend are the ones to book early.

Fair questions

West Palm Beach questions.

Which airport should I use for Palm Beach?

PBI for Palm Beach island, West Palm Beach, Wellington and any heavy jet. Stuart for Jupiter, Hobe Sound and Tequesta, and for a Bahamas return on a smaller aircraft. Boca Raton for the south end of the county. Tell us where you are staying and we pick the field with you.

How far ahead should I book in season?

A week or more for a normal trip from November through April, and two to four weeks for Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day, spring break and Easter. Aircraft and PBI parking both sell out in those weeks. From May through October a few days is usually enough.

Can I fly to the Bahamas from West Palm Beach?

Yes. It is a short hop, about an hour or less in a light jet or turboprop, and it is one of the trips we quote from here in season. Passports are required, the operator files the arrival paperwork, and the return clears US customs at PBI or Stuart. We walk you through what the trip needs before you book.

How much does a private jet to West Palm Beach cost?

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by aircraft category once you enter the other end of the trip and your dates. Nashville sits at the lower end on a light jet; New York, Boston and Chicago sit higher on a midsize or super midsize jet. In the holiday weeks expect the upper half of the range.
