Private flight route
Private flights from Los Angeles to New York, arranged around your schedule with airport and aircraft options selected for your trip.
Route overview
A coast-to-coast staple for entertainment, finance, and family travel, flown nonstop with a cabin built for working, resting, or both across the country.
Private flights from Los Angeles to New York cover the country nonstop in roughly five and a half hours, depending on the aircraft, winds, and air-traffic routing. The route links the entertainment and business centers of the Los Angeles basin with the New York metropolitan area, skipping the connections and terminal delays that typically stretch a transcontinental commercial trip well past a full day.
Departures run from Van Nuys Airport (VNY), the world's busiest general aviation airport and a short drive from the Westside and Studio City, with arrival at Teterboro Airport (TEB), just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan and free of scheduled airline traffic. Your charter advisor can weigh cabin size against the coast-to-coast distance to recommend the right aircraft for your group.
Airport options
Final airport selection depends on your ground destination, aircraft performance, operating hours, availability, and local restrictions.
