    Arrival airports

    Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.

    MIA

    Miami International

    Closest commercial gateway to Miami Beach and the Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center. Taxi and rideshare pickups use designated zones. Allow extra time during conference drop-off, cruise-port days and Beach congestion. Approximate road figures - confirm live traffic before departure

    Approx. 16-19 km (10-12 mi) via SR-112 / I-195 (Julia Tuttle Causeway)

    to venue

    Approx. 25-45 min depending on traffic

    by car

    FLL

    Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International

    Often cheaper on fares than MIA but adds significant road time to Miami Beach. Useful if the fare saving outweighs the transfer cost of roughly USD 60-95 by taxi or rideshare. Approximate road figures - confirm live traffic

    Approx. 34-40 km (21-25 mi) via I-95 and I-195

    to venue

    Approx. 40-60 min depending on traffic

    by car

    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    taxi or rideshare

    Estimated costApprox. USD 35-60 per vehicle
    Best forMiami International (MIA) to Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center

    Approximate single-journey band before surge pricing and tolls; confirm the live quote in the app or meter before departing.

    taxi or rideshare

    Estimated costApprox. USD 60-95 per vehicle
    Best forFort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) to Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center

    Approximate single-journey band before surge pricing and tolls; the longer drive makes FLL worthwhile only when the fare saving is clearly larger.

    Metrobus

    Estimated costApprox. USD 2.25-2.75 per single ride
    Best forMIA airport area and Downtown Miami to the Miami Beach corridor (Collins Avenue)

    Paid by contactless card or the EASY Card; journey times are much longer than by car with luggage. Confirm current routes, hours and fares with Miami-Dade Transit.

    City trolley

    Estimated costApprox. USD 0 (most Beach trolley routes are fare-free)
    Best forMiami Beach local trolley routes serving the Collins Avenue and Beach districts

    Useful for short hops between Beach hotels and the venue district; routes and hours change seasonally, so confirm the current map before relying on it.

    Metrorail and Metromover

    Estimated costApprox. USD 2.25-2.75 per Metrorail ride
    Best forMIA to Downtown Miami, then bus or trolley onward to Miami Beach

    Rail does not reach Miami Beach directly; expect a bus or trolley connection for the final leg. Confirm current fares and transfer rules with Miami-Dade Transit.

    hotel shuttle

    Estimated costVaries by property; some hotels provide complimentary or paid shuttles
    Best forSelected Miami Beach hotels to the venue district

    Ask your hotel directly whether a shuttle serves the Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center precinct; not all Miami Beach properties operate one.

    Weather

    Mid-November in Miami Beach is warm and humid in the northern-hemisphere autumn: typical daytime highs around 27-28 C (low 80s F) and overnight lows around 20-22 C (68-72 F), with high humidity and a chance of short, heavy showers. The Atlantic hurricane season runs to 30 November, so keep an eye on forecasts in the week before travel. Approximate climatological band only - confirm the forecast before departure. Meeting rooms are heavily air-conditioned, so a light layer is useful indoors.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    US networks require a roaming plan, a local prepaid SIM or an eSIM; check your operator's US data rates before flying, as pay-as-you-go roaming outside a bundle can be expensive. Hotel and convention-centre Wi-Fi is standard at Miami Beach conference properties, but do not assume it for time-critical transactions - carry a backup hotspot or mobile data plan. Power is 110-120V at 60Hz with Type A and Type B plugs, so European and Asian delegates need an adapter and should check that chargers accept 110V. Miami is on Eastern Time (UTC-5 in November; daylight saving ends on 1 November 2026).

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping

    Miami follows US tipping norms: around 18-20 percent in restaurants, USD 1-2 per bag for hotel porters and a few dollars for bar service. Some hotels add an automatic service charge or daily resort fee, so check the bill before adding a tip.

    Business dress

    Aviation finance delegates generally wear business attire or smart business casual. Miami's climate is warm and humid while conference rooms are heavily air-conditioned, so a light jacket or knit is practical rather than optional.

    Language and time zone

    English is the working language of the conference, with Spanish widely spoken across Miami-Dade. Miami is on Eastern Time (UTC-5 in November, after daylight saving ends on 1 November 2026).

    Punctuality and meeting etiquette

    Sessions and pre-arranged one-to-one meetings start on time, and diaries fill quickly across the conference days. Treat a confirmed meeting in the lobby or a meeting suite as a firm commitment and arrive a few minutes early.

    Payments, tax and fees

    Cards are accepted almost everywhere. Miami-Dade adds sales tax to restaurant and hotel bills, and Beach hotels frequently charge a daily resort or facility fee on top of the quoted room rate, so budget for these extras.

    Weather awareness

    The Atlantic hurricane season runs to 30 November. If you are travelling in mid-November, watch forecasts and consider flexible or refundable flight and hotel bookings rather than the cheapest non-refundable fare.

    Flights

    Destination: MIA

    MIA is the closest gateway to Miami Beach (roughly 25-45 minutes by road); FLL is often cheaper on fares but adds 40-60 minutes of driving. Indicative Google Flights capture for the 2026 edition: New York (JFK) to Miami round-trip economy listed around USD 199, and Tokyo (NRT) to Miami from about USD 1,045-1,697 depending on date and connections. These are snapshots for comparison, not quotations. Mid-November is a busy period in South Florida, so book early, watch for cruise-port and holiday demand spikes, and prefer flexible fares if you are still confirming conference dates. Compare the total cost including airport transfer before choosing FLL over MIA.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Miami International (MIA): Approx. 25-45 min depending on traffic; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL): Approx. 40-60 min depending on traffic. Allow road or rail time to Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Most delegates stay on Miami Beach within a 5-20 minute walk of the Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center: Radisson Resort Miami Beach (about 260 m), Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront (about 320 m) and Lexington by Hotel RL Miami Beach (about 400 m) are the closest of the listed options, while Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach is roughly 1.2 km away and better suited to a short rideshare or trolley hop. Collins Avenue is walkable, but November humidity and sun make the return leg less pleasant with luggage or a laptop bag, so many attendees take the free Miami Beach trolley on most routes or a short rideshare. Confirm your hotel's exact walking route and any shuttle service on arrival.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across Miami-Dade and are the default option for airport and Beach transfers. Pickups at MIA and FLL are from designated rideshare zones rather than the taxi ranks, so follow the in-app instructions on arrival. Approximate fares to the Miami Beach venue district are USD 35-60 from MIA and USD 60-95 from FLL before surge pricing and tolls; confirm the live quote in the app before ordering, especially during conference drop-off and pick-up peaks.

    Public transit: Miami-Dade Metrobus serves Collins Avenue and the Miami Beach corridor, and the City of Miami Beach runs local trolley routes across the Beach districts, most of them fare-free on current routes. Metrorail connects MIA with Downtown Miami, but rail does not reach the Beach itself, so the final leg is by bus or trolley. Approximate single-ride bus and rail fares are USD 2.25-2.75 paid by contactless card or EASY Card. Journeys take considerably longer than a car with luggage, so many delegates use transit for short Beach hops rather than the airport run. Confirm current routes, hours and fares with Miami-Dade Transit before travel.

    Parking: The Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center precinct offers on-site parking, and Miami Beach hotels typically charge valet or self-parking fees of roughly USD 30-50 per night plus tax - confirm the current rate with your hotel and the venue, as Beach parking is limited. If you drive, budget extra time for Collins Avenue congestion during conference drop-off and pick-up, and check whether your hotel package already includes parking or a resort fee waiver.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: November 2026 (northern-hemisphere autumn; Atlantic hurricane season runs until 30 November)

    Temperature: Approx. 20-28 C (68-83 F) across the day, with typical highs near 27-28 C (low 80s F) and overnight lows near 20-22 C (68-72 F). Approximate climatological band for Miami Beach in mid-November - confirm the live forecast before travel.

    Seasonality: Mid-November sits at the tail of the Atlantic hurricane season, which ends on 30 November, and at the start of South Florida's drier winter pattern. Expect humid air, occasional short, heavy showers and a small chance of a tropical system affecting flights. Approximate seasonality only - monitor forecasts in the final week before departure.

    Packing: Pack lightweight business casual or business attire with breathable fabrics, plus a light jacket or knit for heavily air-conditioned conference rooms. Bring comfortable walking shoes for moving between Beach hotels and the venue, an umbrella or compact rain shell for passing showers, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen. Add a 110-120V Type A/B plug adapter and a power bank for delegates travelling from Europe or Asia, and keep travel documents and your delegate confirmation in a separate folder.

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at Corporate Jet Investor Miami usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    T-1

    T-14: Confirm the final 2026 dates and agenda on corporatejetinvestor.com before booking non-refundable flights; current capture points to mid-November 2026 (around 16-18 November).

    T-2

    T-14: Complete your delegate registration and payment (an early-bird rate of USD 2,399 was listed) and keep the confirmation email for badge collection.

    T-3

    T-14: If you need a US B-1 visa or an ESTA, start now; interview slots and approvals can take weeks and cannot be rushed at the last minute.

    T-4

    T-13: Book flights into MIA for the shortest transfer, or compare FLL fares against the extra 40-60 minutes of ground time.

    T-5

    T-12: Reserve a Miami Beach hotel close to the venue; Radisson Resort, Holiday Inn Oceanfront and Lexington by Hotel RL are all within a few hundred metres, and mid-November rates climb as the date approaches.

    T-6

    T-10: Build your meeting shortlist: lenders, lessors, brokers, OEM sales leads and transaction lawyers are the people you will want 15 minutes with.

    T-7

    T-10: Check whether the organiser publishes a delegate list or networking app and request meetings before the diary fills.

    T-8

    T-7: Arrange your airport transfer: pre-book a rideshare or taxi (approximately USD 35-60 from MIA) or check the Metrobus Beach routes and the Miami Beach trolley.

    T-9

    T-7: Confirm your hotel's resort or facility fee and parking charge, as Miami Beach properties commonly add daily fees on top of the room rate.

    T-10

    T-5: Prepare a one-page summary of your financing mandate, fleet requirement or transaction appetite to share during coffee breaks.

    T-11

    T-3: Pack for warm, humid late-November weather (roughly 20-28 C / 68-83 F) plus a light layer for heavily air-conditioned meeting rooms.

    T-12

    T-2: Reconfirm session times and venue access on the organiser site and download any agenda or speaker PDF.

    T-13

    T-1: Charge devices and pack a 110-120V Type A/B plug adapter if you are travelling from Europe or Asia.

    T-14

    T-1: Save your registration QR code, hotel address and the venue address (Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center, Miami Beach) offline for arrival day.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    What is Corporate Jet Investor Miami?
    It is a senior-level business aviation finance and transactions conference organised by Corporate Jet Investor (Specialist Insight) and held at the Fontainebleau Coastal Convention Center in Miami Beach, Florida. The programme centres on aircraft deals, financing, leasing, residual values and the economics of operating business aircraft, rather than on aircraft static displays.
    When does the 2026 edition take place?
    Current capture for this listing points to mid-November 2026, with attendee travel around 16-18 November 2026. Dates can shift, so check the confirmed schedule and registration page on corporatejetinvestor.com before booking flights or hotels.
    Who should attend?
    Aviation lenders, lessors, OEM and dealer sales teams, brokers, charter and management operators, transaction lawyers, appraisers, insurers, MRO and completions providers, and private equity or family office investors with business aviation exposure. If your role touches aircraft capital, transactions or fleet economics, the room is relevant.
    How much does a delegate pass cost?
    An early-bird delegate rate of USD 2,399 was listed for the 2026 edition, covering conference sessions and networking events. Rates normally rise closer to the event and group or corporate packages may be available, so confirm current pricing with the organiser.
    Is the conference open to the public?
    No. It is a paid, business-to-business conference aimed at aviation finance and transaction professionals. Registration is handled through the organiser and access is limited to registered delegates, speakers, sponsors and press.
    What topics appear on the programme?
    Typical themes include pre-owned transaction volumes and pricing, aircraft financing and leasing structures, residual value outlook, charter and management economics, OEM delivery plans, insurance and risk, and the capital markets appetite for aviation assets. Confirm the current agenda on corporatejetinvestor.com.
    Should I fly into Miami International (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL)?
    MIA is the closest commercial gateway to Miami Beach, roughly 16-19 km and 25-45 minutes by road depending on traffic. FLL is often cheaper on fares but adds around 40-60 minutes of driving. Compare total cost including the ground transfer, not just the ticket price.
    How do I get from the airport to the venue?
    Taxi or rideshare is the simplest option: roughly USD 35-60 from MIA and USD 60-95 from FLL to the Miami Beach venue district, before surge pricing and tolls. Metrobus routes connect MIA with the Beach corridor at approximately USD 2.25-2.75 per ride, and the City of Miami Beach trolley covers much of the Beach at no fare on most routes. Confirm live routes, fares and any organiser shuttle before travel.
    Where should I stay?
    Most delegates stay on Miami Beach within walking distance of the venue. Close options include Radisson Resort Miami Beach (around 260 m), Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront (around 320 m) and Lexington by Hotel RL Miami Beach (around 400 m); Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach is about 1.2 km away. Approximate mid-November nightly bands run from about USD 160-280 for three-star properties and USD 240-430 for four-star properties, excluding taxes and resort fees.
    What is the dress code?
    Business attire or smart business casual is the norm at aviation finance conferences. Miami is warm and humid in November while conference rooms are heavily air-conditioned, so a light layer is worth packing.
    Can my company sponsor or take a meeting suite?
    Corporate Jet Investor conferences typically offer sponsorship, branding and private meeting options alongside delegate passes. Contact the organiser's commercial team through corporatejetinvestor.com for current packages, and book any suite or private meeting space early because Miami Beach venue capacity tightens in mid-November.
    Will I need a visa to attend?
    Most international delegates enter the United States either on an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program or on a B-1 business visitor visa. Apply well before travel, carry your registration confirmation and hotel booking, and verify current rules with official US government sources or your nearest US embassy.

    Glossary

    1
    Business jet (bizjet)
    A turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft used for corporate, charter, fractional or private travel rather than scheduled airline service. Cabin classes range from light jets through mid-size and super-midsize types to long-range and VIP airliners, and the class you finance determines residual value behaviour, crew requirements and charter demand.
    2
    Pre-owned transaction
    The sale of an aircraft that has already been in service, priced on airframe and engine hours, maintenance status, avionics fit and interior condition. Most of the deal flow discussed at aviation finance conferences is pre-owned rather than new delivery business.
    3
    Letter of intent (LOI)
    A non-binding document that sets the price, deposit and timetable for an aircraft purchase before a definitive purchase agreement is signed. LOIs typically trigger the escrow and pre-purchase inspection process.
    4
    Aircraft escrow
    A neutral third-party account that holds the buyer's deposit and the balance during a transaction, releasing funds only when documents, deregistration, export certificates of airworthiness and delivery conditions are satisfied.
    5
    Pre-purchase inspection (pre-buy)
    A technical review of airframe, engines, landing gear, avionics, records and maintenance compliance, usually carried out at a specialist MRO facility. Findings drive renegotiation, seller-funded rectification or walk-away decisions.
    6
    Residual value
    The forecast market value of an aircraft at a future point in its life. Residual value assumptions underpin lease rates, loan-to-value limits, insurance cover and the pricing of asset-backed structures.
    7
    Operating lease vs finance lease
    An operating lease keeps the aircraft on the lessor's balance sheet with an agreed monthly rent and return conditions; a finance lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee and is treated more like debt.
    8
    Aircraft-backed securitisation (ABS)
    Bonds issued against the cash flows of a pool of aircraft leases, increasingly used to fund business aviation and engine portfolios. Investors price the notes on fleet diversity, lessee credit quality and projected residual values.
    9
    Fractional ownership
    A shared ownership programme in which several owners buy undivided shares of one aircraft and receive a contracted number of annual hours, with the operator managing crewing, maintenance and scheduling.
    10
    Jet card
    A prepaid block of charter hours bought at a fixed hourly rate, usually with guaranteed availability and cabin-class commitments. Cards sit between ad hoc charter and full fractional ownership.
    11
    Aircraft management company
    A firm that operates an owner's aircraft, handling crew, maintenance, insurance, scheduling and often charter revenue to offset fixed costs. Management contracts are a core part of the operator economics discussed at Corporate Jet Investor events.
    12
    FBO (fixed-base operator)
    The commercial operator of an airport's business aviation terminal and ramp, providing fuel, hangarage, handling, customs clearance and passenger services. FBO networks are a recurring investment theme in business aviation.
    13
    MRO
    Maintenance, repair and overhaul provider. MRO capacity, engine shop visit costs and parts availability directly affect aircraft values and transaction timelines.
    14
    Completions and refurbishment
    The outfitting of a green aircraft with interior, avionics and paint, or the later upgrade of cabin, connectivity and entertainment systems. Outfitting slots and refurbishment spend are significant line items in fleet planning.
    15
    Green time and cycles
    Airframe hours and take-off and landing cycles since new or since major maintenance. They drive engine programme enrolment, inspection intervals and ultimately the aircraft's market value.
    16
    Charter certificate (US Part 135 and equivalents)
    The regulatory approval that lets an operator sell seats or whole-aircraft charter to third parties. Charter revenue is often the mechanism owners use to offset ownership costs, so certificate status matters to lenders and buyers.
    17
    Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
