Sweet 16, Quinceañera, Bar/Bat Mitzvah!

Boca Jet Charter arranges private flights for Sweet 16s, quinceaneras, bar and bat mitzvahs and the celebrations around them, from Boca Raton and across South Florida. These are big occasions in this part of the country, and a good deal of the travel is family arriving from several directions on the same weekend.

Getting the family in

Where enough guests are coming from one city, a single aircraft usually beats everyone booking separately, and it means the family arrives together rather than in pieces across two days. We can hold arrangements while the numbers settle.

Charter is priced by the aircraft rather than the seat, so the cost per person comes down as the cabin fills. Give us the realistic number early, because that is what decides which aircraft we are looking at.

For grandparents and anyone who finds a connection difficult, the private terminal makes a real difference: no long walk, no gate change, and they board straight from the FBO or terminal lounge. Where a guest uses a wheelchair, tell us at the inquiry stage, because only a small number of aircraft are fitted to take a passenger who cannot walk to their seat. Our wheelchair-accessible charter page covers how that works.

Destination celebrations

Plenty of these events happen away from home: Israel, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, or a city the family has a connection to. Many international destinations require special permissions for landing and customs. Permits are generally applied for after a trip has been secured on the aircraft schedule, and sometimes the timeline is dictated by the local airport authorities.

Coming home, customs at Boca Raton runs Thursday through Monday, 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and after-hours clearance must be requested while the facility is open. Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International clears around the clock if your return does not fit.

What is coming with you

Dresses, suits and anything long or rigid need their dimensions known ahead, because baggage compartments vary a lot. Tell us and we will size the aircraft to it.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.

Boca Raton-Specific Patterns We Plan Around

Hurricane season runs June through November and peaks in September, and summer afternoons bring thunderstorms that build quickly and close airspace while they pass. Your advisor watches the forecast ahead of your date and will call you before you call us. Boca Raton Airport also asks operators to observe a voluntary curfew between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM, which does not block a departure but is worth raising early if your trip lands in that window.
