Event travel
Skip the airport crush and arrive on your own schedule. Private JetOne flies you straight into Miami for Ultra weekend each March, with the right aircraft, FBO, and planeside ground transfer arranged end to end.
Why charter
Ultra Music Festival takes over downtown Miami's Bayfront Park each March, and the city fills fast. Flights into MIA sell out, rideshare surges, and downtown road closures snarl the festival district all weekend. A private charter removes the friction so the trip works around your plans, not the crowd's.
Airports and FBOs
Use accurate codes and plan around ramp constraints. Opa-locka is the go-to general-aviation gateway; Miami International handles heavier or international traffic. Ramp space at both fills during peak demand, so confirming early protects your parking and slot.
The preferred private-jet gateway for Ultra. Roughly a 20 to 30 minute drive from Bayfront Park, with multiple full-service FBOs purpose-built for business aviation. Ramp parking is the main constraint during festival weekend, so it sells out first.
A capable option for heavy jets, bizliners, and international arrivals needing customs on a major airport. Busier and less convenient for quick turns than Opa-locka, but valuable when aircraft size or routing requires it.
During Ultra weekend, FBOs cap based parking and overnight ramp slots. If your aircraft cannot stay, it may reposition to a nearby field and return for pickup. Early booking keeps your jet local and your timing flexible.
Aircraft
Match cabin to crew and distance. We present several options per route so you can weigh comfort against budget without overbuying.
Four to six passengers. Ideal for short regional hops into South Florida, such as the Northeast or Southeast corridor, with efficient block times and lower cost.
Six to nine passengers with stand-up cabins and a baggage hold for gear. The sweet spot for coast-to-coast and most friend-group trips to Ultra.
Nine to sixteen passengers for transcontinental or international legs. Generous cabins, full galley, and the range to fly nonstop from Europe or the West Coast.
For large crews, artist entourages, or label takeovers. Maximum cabin space and standing room when the whole team needs to move as one.
Ultra weekend each March is one of South Florida's heaviest private-aviation peaks. Aircraft availability, Opa-locka ramp parking, and crew all tighten weeks out. We recommend locking your charter six to ten weeks ahead, and earlier for larger cabins or prime Friday arrival and Sunday-night departure windows. Short-notice trips are still possible, but options narrow as the weekend nears.
Pricing is driven by aircraft category, flight hours each way, repositioning, and high-demand FBO fees, not a fixed published rate. We never charge membership fees and send a transparent all-in quote once we have your route and dates.
On the ground
The flight is only half the trip. We line up planeside ground transport so you go from cabin to car to venue without friction, even with downtown road closures in play.
FAQ
Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF) is the preferred general-aviation gateway for Ultra Music Festival. It sits about a 20 to 30 minute drive from downtown Miami's Bayfront Park venue and hosts full-service FBOs built for private traffic. Miami International (MIA) is also available and useful for heavy aircraft or international arrivals, but it is busier and less convenient for quick ramp turns. Your Private JetOne advisor confirms the best fit based on your aircraft size, party, and customs needs.
Book early. Ultra weekend each March is one of South Florida's peak demand windows, and Opa-locka ramp space, FBO parking, and the right aircraft category all sell out. We recommend confirming six to ten weeks ahead, and even earlier for larger cabins or peak Friday arrival and Sunday-night departure slots. Last-minute requests are still worth a call, but options and pricing tighten as the weekend approaches.
It depends on group size and distance. Light jets carry four to six passengers and suit shorter regional hops. Midsize and super-midsize jets seat six to nine with stand-up cabins for coast-to-coast trips. Heavy jets handle nine to sixteen passengers and longer transcontinental or international legs. For larger crews or label takeovers, a bizliner is an option. Private JetOne presents several aircraft choices per route so you can balance cabin comfort and budget.
Yes. We coordinate private SUVs, sedans, and Sprinter vans to meet you planeside at the FBO and run you straight to your hotel or the festival district. Bayfront Park and most downtown and Brickell hotels are roughly 20 to 30 minutes from Opa-locka outside peak traffic, so we plan transfers around show times and road closures. Just add ground transport to your request and we handle the logistics.
Cost depends on aircraft category, distance, trip type, and timing rather than a fixed published rate. The main drivers are cabin size, flight hours each way, repositioning, FBO and ramp fees during a high-demand weekend, and whether you fly one-way or round trip. Private JetOne never charges membership fees, and we send a transparent all-in quote with several aircraft options after you share your route and dates.
