Los Angeles to New York
by private jet

Departing Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world—home to Hollywood studios, tech startups, and some of the most valuable real estate on the planet. From studio lots in Burbank to beachfront compounds in Malibu, LA sprawls across 500 square miles of opportunity, creativity, and California sunshine.

Arriving in New York

The financial capital of the world, New York City is home to Wall Street, Fortune 500 headquarters, world-class dining, and iconic cultural institutions. From high-stakes boardroom meetings in Midtown to Broadway shows and gallery openings, New York attracts executives, entrepreneurs, and tastemakers year-round.

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.
