What are the benefits of flying private to Los Angeles?

Van Nuys is the world's busiest general aviation airport, giving you fast, private terminal access minutes from the Westside—without the long lines and traffic around LAX.

What aircraft can I use for private flights to Los Angeles?

Domestic trips are commonly flown on a super-midsize jet like the Challenger 350, while heavy jets and ultra-long-range aircraft like the Gulfstream G450 or G650 suit international connections.

How far in advance should I book my flight?

We recommend booking a few days ahead for the best aircraft selection, especially around awards season and major industry events, though last-minute charters are often possible.

Can I bring pets or extra luggage?

In many cases, yes. Pet policies vary by aircraft and operator, so let us know about any animals or additional luggage when requesting your flight.

Is Los Angeles a good destination for business travel?

Yes. LA is a major hub for entertainment, media, and technology, and Van Nuys or Burbank make it easy to fit same-day meetings around the city's notorious traffic.
