ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,884 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €17,700
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,884 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 25 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €35,600

On Miami → Las Vegas, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Miami before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Las Vegas, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on OPF–LAS are set field by field — OPF and LAS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,884 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on OPF–LAS, not the driver of the quote.
Miami → Las Vegas demand cycles pull the 1,884 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at LAS constrains the lift available for 1,884 nm inbounds from Miami — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices OPF–LAS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,884 nm.
Slot coordination at LAS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Miami departures and raises handling on OPF–LAS.
At 1,884 nm, OPF–LAS sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at LAS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the OPF–LAS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Miami → Las Vegas
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Miami-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near LAS can trim handling and slot pressure on OPF–LAS — see the airport comparison above.
OPF ↔ LAS (1,884 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at OPF drops handling and slot fees on the 1,884 nm run to LAS.
1,884 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on OPF–LAS cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,884 nm on OPF–LAS
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Runway
8,002 ft (shorter of OPF and LAS) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,884 nm; OPF–LAS is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Cold gourmet catering, coffee/espresso, single hot service typical.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from OPF clears the weekday slot peak and lands LAS before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€15,800 – €36,400
Midsize through Heavy over 1,884 nm OPF–LAS, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of OPF sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. OPF–LAS quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
OPF–LAS supply — workable
OPF — 91 archived movements (49 out / 42 in) from 11 operators. LAS — 29 archived movements (16 out / 13 in) from 12 operators. The thinner end sets the price on OPF–LAS: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Miami (OPF)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OPF–LAS lift comes from KOPF (0 nm, 29 aircraft), KMIA (7 nm, 8 aircraft), KFLL (12 nm, 15 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Positioning into Las Vegas (LAS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OPF–LAS lift comes from KLAS (0 nm, 42 aircraft), KHND (7 nm, 4 aircraft), KPSP (151 nm, 3 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.

OPF departing for LAS: PPR none.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 1,884 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,884 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Miami — real alternatives, and when we use them
Miami Executive (TMB), 25 km out — Closest GA option to Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Trade-off: shorter runway. Fort Lauderdale (FLL), 40 km out — Overflow with strong FBO capacity. Trade-off: commercial mixing. Palm Beach (PBI), 110 km out — Palm Beach-side alternative. Trade-off: distance to miami.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing OPF within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
