Included in every transfer
- Planeside at the FBO The chauffeur waits at the field’s fixed-base operator, so a private arrival goes from the ramp to the car without a concourse.
- Coordinated on the tail number The pickup is arranged with the FBO against the aircraft, so an early wheels-down is met on time.
- Complimentary Wi-Fi Onboard Wi-Fi on every OPF transfer, useful on the longer run north to Palm Beach.
- Request your chauffeur A frequent Miami flyer can keep the same driver on the account across arrivals.
- Unplanned stops A stop in Miami or along the way north can be added to the run without rebooking.
- Professionally trained chauffeurs Vetted, discreet chauffeurs used to a busy Miami-Dade ramp and the interstate north.
Chauffeured service vs. an on-demand ride
| Aura Palm chauffeured | On-demand rideshare or taxi | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you are met | Planeside at the OPF fixed-base operator, with the meeting point set before wheels-down. | A car hailed after the jet parks, then a wait at a private field where passing cars are scarce. |
| Timing to the aircraft | Coordinated with the FBO on the tail number, so the car is ready as you park. | A ride summoned after landing tracks nothing beforehand, so an early arrival means standing by. |
| Who drives | A vetted, professionally trained chauffeur assigned ahead and requestable across Miami arrivals. | Whichever driver accepts, matched in the moment with no continuity. |
| The vehicle | Selected when you book — a sedan through a 55-seat coach — cleaned before the ride, with water and Wi-Fi inside. | Whatever is dispatched, sized to a service tier rather than your aircraft and its bags. |
| The onward leg | Booked door-to-door — into Miami, out to the beach, or north to Palm Beach — group-capable, stops allowed. | Arranged one leg at a time, with a group left to split across cars. |

What arrival actually looks like
A busy Miami-Dade executive field
Opa-Locka Executive is one of the highest-volume general-aviation airports in the country, in northern Miami-Dade — jets, turboprops and FBO ramps rather than a commercial terminal. For a chauffeured arrival that scale changes little: the car is timed to your aircraft, coordinated with the FBO, and waiting on the ramp side as you park. What it does mean is a field used to serious private-aviation traffic, where a discreet, on-time pickup is the norm rather than the exception.
A north-Miami gateway
OPF sits north of the city, so it works as a Miami arrival point above all — downtown Miami is about 11 miles south and Miami Beach about 14 miles across the causeways. Palm Beach is the longer haul, about 62 miles and 65 minutes up Interstate 95. Those are approximate driving figures; the honest door-to-door time turns on your exact address and the day’s traffic, so Aura Palm quotes the specific route rather than a single number.
The long leg north, handled comfortably
Because Palm Beach is roughly an hour north of OPF, that run is a settle-in drive rather than a quick hop — usually a sedan or SUV with Wi-Fi aboard, or an Executive Sprinter for a group travelling together. The pickup is still timed to the tail number and coordinated with the FBO, and a departure reverses it: a Miami or Palm Beach pickup timed to your slot and delivered to the ramp. Dispatch runs around the clock, so a shifted itinerary can usually still be covered.
Frequently asked
Do you offer car service from Opa-Locka Executive Airport to Palm Beach?
Yes. Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) is about 62 miles from Palm Beach, roughly a 65-minute chauffeured transfer north on Interstate 95.
Where does the chauffeur meet a private arrival at OPF?
At the field’s fixed-base operator, ramp-side — a private jet is met as it parks, with no commercial terminal or baggage claim to pass through.
How far is Opa-Locka Executive from downtown Miami?
Downtown Miami is about 11 miles south of OPF, roughly a 20 to 30-minute run depending on traffic.
Can you run from OPF to Miami Beach?
Yes. Miami Beach is about 14 miles from the airport, generally around 30 minutes by car.
What kind of airport is Opa-Locka Executive?
OPF is a high-volume general-aviation and business-jet field in northern Miami-Dade County, long one of the nation’s busiest, with no scheduled commercial flights.
How is an OPF pickup timed to a private flight?
The arrival is coordinated with the FBO on the tail number, so the car is on the ramp as the aircraft parks rather than on a fixed schedule.
What vehicles can meet a flight at OPF?
From a 3-passenger luxury sedan to a 55-passenger charter bus, matched to the party and its luggage at booking.
Can you carry a group that flies into OPF together?
Yes. A party off one aircraft travels in a Jet Sprinter, Executive Sprinter or coach, kept in a single vehicle rather than split at the ramp.
Is the run from OPF to Palm Beach a long one?
It is the longer end of our airport work — about 62 miles and 65 minutes north — so it is usually a sedan or SUV settled in for the interstate.
Is Aura Palm available 24/7 at Opa-Locka?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed around the clock, so a dawn departure or an overnight arrival at OPF is booked the same way.
How far ahead should I book an OPF transfer?
Reserve a day or two ahead, and four to six weeks around holidays and peak weekends; a moved private-jet slot can usually still be handled.
Do you handle departures from OPF too?
Yes. A Miami or Palm Beach pickup is timed to your departure slot and delivered to the FBO — the reverse of an arrival run.
Planning a transfer through OPF
A high-volume field, met planeside
Opa-Locka Executive has long ranked among the busiest general-aviation airports in the United States, and it is general aviation through and through: business jets and turboprops, FBO ramps, and no scheduled airline or arrivals hall. An Aura Palm transfer suits that. There is no baggage claim and no rideshare lot — the aircraft parks, the chauffeur is already at the FBO, and the luggage moves straight to the car. On a field this busy an unplanned car is the wrong bet; the dependable move is a booked chauffeur coordinated with the FBO on the tail number, which is how Aura Palm runs OPF.
North Miami first, Palm Beach beyond
OPF’s natural radius is Miami. Downtown is about 11 miles south, Miami Beach about 14 miles across the causeways, and the northern Miami-Dade neighbourhoods are minutes away — so most arrivals here are Miami-bound. Palm Beach is the outer leg, about 62 miles and 65 minutes up Interstate 95, a run Aura Palm makes constantly for guests continuing north. Whichever the destination, the vehicle is chosen for the party and its luggage and the route is quoted on the exact address rather than a flat figure.
From a couple to a full charter group
Here too the car is chosen for the aircraft and the group. One or two people off a jet take a Luxury Sedan or SUV; a charter party that lands together fills a Jet Sprinter for eight or an Executive Sprinter for fourteen, so the group leaves the ramp in one vehicle. A conference block, an incentive trip or a larger movement goes to a 23- or 40-passenger Mini Bus, and a full group to a 55-passenger Charter Bus. Give dispatch the FBO, the tail number and the headcount, and the pickup is built to fit.
Hours, lead time and the haul north
Aura Palm Limo runs 24 hours a day, every day, so an overnight arrival or a pre-dawn departure at OPF books the same way as a midday one. Reserve airport transfers a day or two ahead, with four to six weeks for holidays and peak weekends, though a moved private-jet slot can usually still be handled. The chauffeured run from OPF to central Palm Beach is about 62 miles and 65 minutes; call +1 (754) 714-7713 or email [email protected] for a quote on your exact route.
