One way empty legs between Fort Lauderdale and Nassau, exactly as the operators list them. Prices are the operator's own, not a marked up quote.
Straight line distance between the two cities. Actual routing and flight time depend on the aircraft and the airports.
Fort Lauderdale to Nassau is about 160 nautical miles, almost all of it over water, and the five legs that publish a block time all say 36 minutes. It is an international sector on a domestic flight's timings, which is the whole character of this corridor: short enough to be a taxi ride and long enough to need customs at both ends.
Two operators, two Fort Lauderdale fields and two listing conventions. Gold Aviation has five of the eight legs, every one a seven seat Embraer Phenom 300 out of Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International with a published USD 9,300, a block time and a tail number. Hop-A-Jet has the other three, all the same six seat Bombardier Learjet 60XR out of Fort Lauderdale Executive, with no price and no block time.
Nassau is the second largest destination out of Fort Lauderdale on our board. Of the 161 legs we have recorded leaving Fort Lauderdale, eleven go to Teterboro and eight to Nassau, with Charleston third on six. For a destination in another country to sit that high says more about how close the Bahamas are than about how much traffic they take.
From the Nassau end Fort Lauderdale is the largest origin of all. Forty legs into Nassau are recorded in total, eight of them from Fort Lauderdale, six from Miami and four from Naples. We also keep the page for the return direction, Nassau to Fort Lauderdale, which has six recorded legs from three operators.
Eight legs on seven dates between 1 September and 12 October 2026, which is about one every five days. One date carries two, 21 September, and both are Gold Aviation Phenom 300s on different tails. The three Hop-A-Jet legs are spread roughly three weeks apart on the same aircraft.
None of the eight was on the board when this page was built. Seven had already flown and the eighth had come off the board. On a corridor running at about a leg a week with nothing currently listed, the route alert is the only practical way to catch the next one.
Approximate corridor between Fort Lauderdale and Nassau. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Which Fort Lauderdale field you leave from depends on which operator is flying: Hollywood International on the Gold Aviation legs, Executive on the Hop-A-Jet ones. Both ends of this flight involve customs formalities, so ask the operator what travel documents they need and by when rather than assuming a 36 minute sector works like a domestic one.
Between 31 July and 12 October 2026 we recorded 8 empty legs from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau. Five of them carried a published price, all USD 9,300 for the whole aircraft, and all five are the same operator flying the same aircraft type. That figure appears on 74 of Gold Aviation's listings across 54 different airport pairs, so it is its standing number for a Phenom 300. The three Hop-A-Jet legs say on request, which is what Hop-A-Jet publishes on everything. Five of the eight publish a block time and every one of those says 36 minutes. All eight publish a seat count and a tail number, seven seats on the five Phenom 300s and six on the Learjet 60XR that flies the other three.

Five of the eight legs carry a published price, all of them USD 9,300 for the whole aircraft. Every one of the five is a Gold Aviation Phenom 300. The three Hop-A-Jet Learjet 60XR legs say on request.
Read that USD 9,300 as the operator's figure for a Phenom 300 rather than a Fort Lauderdale to Nassau fare. Gold Aviation publishes a price on all 146 listings we have recorded from it, using 25 different figures, and USD 9,300 appears on 74 of those listings across 54 different airport pairs. It is a standing number applied widely, not a quote for this crossing.
Hop-A-Jet publishes no price on anything. We have 24 listings recorded from it across thirteen airport pairs and a figure on none of them. All three of its legs here are the same aircraft, N352XR, so the three rows below are one Learjet listed three times on three dates rather than three different jets.
Ask which Fort Lauderdale field you are leaving from, what documents are needed for the Bahamas and by when, whether the departure time can still move, and what happens if the paid flight that created the empty leg falls through. Prices here are in US dollars as the operator published them.
Fort Lauderdale to Nassau empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Fort Lauderdale to Nassau and Nassau to Fort Lauderdale, and send you nothing else.
