Flying from Los Angeles

VNY, on the ground.

The airport

Van Nuys is one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the world and is the usual choice for central and western Los Angeles.

Who flies from here

Entertainment, technology and finance traffic, with a curfew-sensitive night profile.

Leaving the country

United States customs and immigration. APIS data is filed in advance, and arrival is usually at a designated port of entry.

Lead time

Twenty-four to forty-eight hours is comfortable on most sectors from Los Angeles. Same-day departures depend on an aircraft being nearby and on slots at both ends.

Luggage and passengers

Seats are not the only limit. Fuel for a long sector reduces the weight left for people and bags, so a full cabin on a long flight sometimes means the next size up.

Empty legs

Aircraft repositioning in or out of Los Angeles occasionally sell a leg below the prices above. Flexible dates are what make that possible.

How a charter from Los Angeles is priced

The aircraft has to reach you before it can carry you. On short sectors the empty positioning flight is a small part of the bill; on long ones it can approach the cost of the trip itself, which is why the ranges above widen with distance. If an aircraft is already sitting at VNY, or is due to fly your direction anyway, the same routing can price well under the published band.

Fuel is charged on what the aircraft burns, plus reserves for holding and an alternate airport. Airport costs at both ends differ sharply, and a business-aviation field near the city usually costs more in fees while saving an hour on the ground. On longer sectors crew duty limits come into play, which can mean a second crew or a night stop.

We are an independent broker. We do not own aircraft. For a trip out of Los Angeles we ask operators with suitable aircraft near either end, compare what comes back, and give you named options with the price. The operator flying you is named in writing before you commit.
