The transcontinental workhorse: five and a half hours from Teterboro to Van Nuys, landing thirty minutes from Beverly Hills. Super-midsize and larger cabins fly it non-stop.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
New York to Los Angeles is 2,450 miles and the most flown transcontinental private route in the country. A super-midsize jet such as the Challenger 350 flies it non-stop in about five and three-quarter hours against the westbound headwind. Heavy and ultra-long-range cabins are faster and quieter. Midsize jets refuel in the middle of the country and land about an hour later at a lower price.
The three-hour time difference makes the morning the natural pattern: leave Teterboro at 9 am and land at Van Nuys before 11.30 am local time, with the whole working day ahead. Van Nuys is thirty minutes from Beverly Hills; Burbank suits the studios and the hills; LAX takes the VIP airliners.
Aircraft are based at both ends in numbers, so a same-day departure is usually possible and one-way pricing is competitive.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; parking in Los Angeles, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
Aircraft are based at both ends, so a one-way on this route rarely carries a positioning charge. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing.

Midsize jets refuel once in the middle of the country, adding about an hour.
Teterboro handles most of New York's private departures, but it caps aircraft weight and closes to noisy movements overnight, so the largest cabins and some late flights go from Westchester, Newark or JFK.
The busiest private airport on the East Coast. Aircraft above 100,000 lb are not permitted, so VIP airliners go to JFK or Newark. Voluntary curfew 11 pm to 6 am; customs by prior arrangement.
Quieter ramp and easier parking than Teterboro, with customs on site. Curfew on movements between midnight and 6.30 am.
Full customs and immigration and no weight limit. The choice for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.
Full customs, no weight limit and often easier slots than JFK. Useful when Teterboro is closed by weather or a security restriction.
Arriving in Los Angeles, pick the airport nearest where you are staying. Van Nuys serves the Westside and the Valley, Burbank the studios and the hills, and LAX takes the largest aircraft and international arrivals.
Flying private to Los Angeles from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
The busiest private airport in the country, with customs on request for international arrivals. Night noise rules from 10 pm to 7 am restrict louder aircraft.
Own private terminal and quick turnarounds. Noisier aircraft may not take off or land between 10 pm and 7 am.
The only Los Angeles airport for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets, with full customs. Private terminals sit on the south side away from the commercial concourses.
Excellent private infrastructure. Curfew 10 pm to 7 am, 8 am on Sundays.
A super-midsize cabin handles a transcontinental flight with a stand-up cabin, proper galley and the range to fly it without a stop. The Legacy 650 in our fleet adds a bedroom-sized rear cabin for the same journey. The Gulfstream G650 is faster and quieter. Midsize jets refuel once for a lower price.

Eight or nine seats and a stand-up cabin, non-stop in under six hours. The Challenger 350 and Praetor 600 are the standard choices.
See the fleetTwelve to fourteen seats with a separate rear cabin. The Legacy 650 in our fleet flies Teterboro to Van Nuys in about five and a half hours.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats and the quietest cabin. The Gulfstream G650 makes the crossing in about five and a quarter hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Los Angeles is busiest in awards season and around the big weekends, when Van Nuys parking is the constraint.
The return leaves from Van Nuys, Burbank, LAX or John Wayne and lands at Teterboro, Westchester, JFK or Newark. Eastbound the jet stream helps: allow about five hours non-stop. The evening departure from Van Nuys lands in New York after midnight, so many clients prefer the red-eye in a cabin with a bed or a morning departure that lands mid-afternoon.
Teterboro's voluntary curfew runs from 11 pm to 6 am, so a late arrival may mean Westchester or Newark. In awards season and over Thanksgiving, both ends are busy, and we secure the return when we book the outbound.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $30,000 in a midsize jet; about $38,000 in a super-midsize jet; about $48,000 in a heavy jet; about $62,000 in an ultra-long-range jet. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates, and a return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
About 5 and a half hours flight time for the cabins shown on this page, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Every cabin class listed flies it without a stop.
From New York: Teterboro, Westchester County, John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty. Into Los Angeles: Van Nuys, Hollywood Burbank, Los Angeles International and John Wayne. Each is described above with its drive time and the operators that handle private flights there.
International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection at the FBO at LAX, or at Van Nuys by prior arrangement. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities; we confirm when we book.
Pets travel in the cabin. Entering the US, a dog needs a microchip, a CDC import form and, from most countries, a rabies vaccination record; we arrange the paperwork with the handler.
