Jet privé New York - Los Angeles
Your flight New York - Los Angeles
The New York – Los Angeles flight is the great American corridor of private aviation — the bicoastal shuttle that defined the lifestyle of Hollywood studios, venture capital, and the entertainment-finance nexus. From Teterboro (TEB), you land at Van Nuys (VNY) — Beverly Hills’ preferred FBO — in 5h15. No middle seat, no airport marathon, no fixed schedule. You call your pilot, give a departure time, and your car awaits you on the tarmac in Los Angeles.
flight_takeoffBook a flightThe 3,970 km transcontinental distance suits medium to large jets. The Falcon 2000LXS is the most economical long-range option at this distance. For ultimate comfort over 5 hours, the Gulfstream G650 with its 14 lie-flat seats and chef-prepared meals is the aircraft of choice for entertainment CEOs, sports franchise owners, and A-list stars. The Bombardier Global 5500 offers an excellent compromise — stand-up cabin, sleeping berths, and range to spare.
Los Angeles offers three private aviation options: Van Nuys (VNY) is the celebrity-preferred FBO in the San Fernando Valley, 20 minutes from Beverly Hills; Santa Monica (SMO) is closest to West LA and Malibu; LAX handles heavier traffic and international connections. Eastbound, the flight is shorter thanks to the favourable jet stream — 4h45 to 5h15 from Los Angeles to New York. The corridor operates year-round; peak demand during awards season (January–March), the Oscars, Sundance, and the 4th of July.

All your questions about the flight New York – Los Angeles
Between 48,000 € and 72,000 € one way. The Falcon 2000LXS at 48,000 € is the most economical option. The G650 at 58,000 € is the luxury benchmark for 12 to 14 passengers. Shared among 12 passengers, the cost per head (~5,000 € in a G650) is competitive with first-class airline fares.
Van Nuys (VNY) is the preferred choice for Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, and the West Side — 20 minutes from these neighbourhoods, exclusively dedicated to private aviation, minimal congestion. Santa Monica (SMO) is closest to Venice, Malibu, and Santa Monica. LAX is only useful for international connections or destinations in East Los Angeles.
Approximately 5h15 to 6h00 westbound (against the jet stream). Eastbound (Los Angeles–New York), the journey is noticeably shorter — 4h30 to 5h15 with the jet stream's assistance. The G650 at Mach 0.925 saves 30 to 45 minutes on the westbound leg compared to slower aircraft.
It is one of the most-used domestic private routes in the world. Entertainment industry executives, New York tech investors, and Silicon Valley VCs regularly commute between the two coasts via programmes (VistaJet, Wheels Up, NetJets) or on-demand charter. The morning round-trip (depart 7am in NY, return the following morning from LA) is a common pattern.
NetJets and VistaJet offer fractional ownership programmes with guaranteed availability on this route. Wheels Up operates a popular membership model in the sports and entertainment sectors. On-demand charter operators (Monarch Air, XOJET, Air Charter Service) offer competitive pricing with no long-term commitment.
Yes — private jets in the United States are very pet-friendly. Most operators accept dogs and cats in the cabin without a carrier. There are no breed restrictions (unlike commercial airlines). For international routes, destination-country pet entry requirements apply — but for domestic US travel, your companion is welcome on board.
