The return leg uses the same aircraft and guide pricing; timings may shift up to ±10% depending on winds.
Guide prices are one-way estimates incl. positioning; taxes/handling extra. Round-trip and one-way both available.
On Detroit–Miami, pricing is a function of the route distance and headwinds, fuel costs at both ends, and handling charges at origin and destination. We verify against current aircraft availability before quoting a firm price.

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Detroit to Miami use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 129 km short after reserves on a 1,847 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport has 12,003 ft and Miami International Airport 13,016 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
