Why fly private on
this route
The commercial experience
Los Angeles
LAX handles 88 million passengers annually. Even with TSA PreCheck, expect 30-45 minutes of security theater before reaching your gate in a terminal a mile from your car.
New York
Commercial flights from NYC airports mean navigating some of the busiest airspace in the world. TSA lines at JFK regularly exceed 45 minutes, and delays cascade through the system daily.
The private advantage
From Los Angeles
In a city defined by traffic, private aviation is the ultimate time hack. Land at Van Nuys (VNY)—the world's busiest general aviation airport—and be in Beverly Hills in 20 minutes. No 405 freeway, no LAX parking structures, no wasted hours.
To New York
Skip the chaos of JFK and Newark commercial terminals. Private aviation in New York means departing from dedicated FBOs where you can arrive 15 minutes before takeoff, not 2 hours. For time-sensitive business travelers, this translates to an extra half-day of productivity.
Save hours, not just minutes
When you factor in airport arrival, security, boarding, deplaning, and ground transportation, private aviation saves 3-5 hours on each trip compared to commercial.
