Private Plane Charter Miami to Blackpoint

The aircraft and the crew for your party, the clearance on the way in, both border filings and the ground arrangements you ask for at either end.

You are booking the airframe rather than seats on it, so the flight costs the same whether four people travel or eight. Catering, a cart at the strip and onward transport are added when you ask for them and come back priced with the aircraft.

Yes, within daylight and within what the crew is allowed to fly. That is the main thing a charter buys you on this route, because the scheduled way in runs through Nassau on somebody else's hours. Most day parties leave early and fly back in the late afternoon.

The hour is set when you confirm and can still move afterwards if your plans change, because the aircraft is not going anywhere else and there are no other passengers to inconvenience. Tell us the hour you actually want rather than the one you think is on offer.

No. A charter carries the people you name and nobody else. There is no seat assignment, no other party sharing the cabin, and no risk of part of your group being left in Nassau because a connection did not hold.

The passenger list can also change up to shortly before the flight: a name added or dropped is a refiling on our side rather than a rebooking on yours.

Yes. Black Point Airport is a public strip on Great Guana Cay a short way from the settlement, so the aircraft stops on the island you booked and there is no boat leg at the end. A cart can meet you at the strip if you ask for one when you book.

That is the difference from many cays further up the chain, where the aircraft stops on a neighbouring island and a boat covers the last stretch. Here the settlement is a short ride from the apron, and the aircraft waits on the same strip for the flight home.

Black Point Airport and the public dock in the settlement are both on the Bahamian customs list of ports of entry.

Whether your routing clears in on the island or at a larger field on the way, such as Nassau or George Town, depends on the aircraft, the routing and the date, and it comes back with the quote rather than being promised here. Either way the crew files both borders.

No, and that is the step a private charter removes. The scheduled seats into Black Point come out of Nassau, which means a flight there, a wait and something smaller onward.

A charter flies from Miami to the strip on Great Guana Cay at the hour you set. Nobody in your party changes aircraft, collects bags in between or watches a connection slip, and the return works the same way in the other direction.

Yes, for every passenger including children. The Bahamas is a different country and a private aircraft does not change that. We take the passport details once at the enquiry and file for both sides before departure.

The travel documents page lists what each passenger hands over and by when. Check that every passport runs well past the date of the return, because that is the detail most often found too late.

About thirty minutes. There is no terminal to cross and no queue to join, because both ends of this route are general aviation. You park, walk to the aircraft and go. The outbound filing is already done from our side before you arrive, so there is nothing to hand in and nothing to print.

Yes, up to the day before in most cases. A name added or dropped means we refile the manifest, and the flight is otherwise unchanged. Tell us as early as you can, because the paperwork is what needs the notice, not the aircraft. The same applies to a change of date: the aircraft moves with you, and the filings are made again for the new day.

Often yes. Once your party is cleared in, every leg after it is domestic, so the aircraft can carry on to Staniel Cay, Farmer's Cay or further down the chain rather than return to a hub first. Send the whole itinerary at the enquiry and it comes back as one day rather than two flights.

The day moves. Weather is the one thing a charter does not make flexible, and we would rather move a flight than fly it badly. You are told as early as we know, and the aircraft is rebooked to a date that works for your party. The weather and delays policy sets out how a moved departure is handled.

It depends on the size of the party and what the day is worth to you. The aircraft costs the same whether it is full or not, so the cost per person falls as the group grows.

What a fare comparison leaves out is the night in Nassau a connection can cost when the onward seats do not line up. Send the date and the headcount and you get real numbers rather than an estimate.

Send the date, the number of guests, where you are leaving from and the hour you would like. You get back the aircraft that are free, what each one costs, the routing we would use and what is included, and nothing is held until you say so.

If the day has anything else in it, a cart at the strip or a boat up to Staniel Cay, say so at the same time and it comes back priced alongside the aircraft.

Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. The one thing we ask is that you tell us at the enquiry, with the type of animal and its weight, so the seating and the load plan are right from the start.
