Asked about this route.
How much is a private jet from Los Angeles to Los Cabos?
From $7,000 one way for the whole aircraft (light category), up to $14,000 for the largest cabin that flies the lane. Every figure is all-in — fuel, crew, landing, 7.5% FET — and locked at acceptance.
How long is the flight?
The leg is 793 nm as the crow flies. Block time runs about 2h 01m in the fastest suitable category (super-mid), a little longer in a turboprop or light jet — the quote lists the estimate per aircraft.
Which airports does the flight use?
Los Angeles Intl. (KLAX) on the Los Angeles end and Los Cabos Intl. (MMSD) into Los Cabos — chosen for ramp access and drive time, not airline convenience. If a different field suits your day better, dispatch will quote it; the price difference is usually minutes, not thousands.
Are there empty legs on this route?
Busy lanes generate repositioning flights, and this is one. Empty legs on the pair list at 30–60% off with locked dates — set a watchlist with the route and your date window and we'll text the moment one matches. One SMS per match, no spam.
