Los Angeles to Las Vegas is a desert short hop, roughly 235 statute miles (about 205 nautical miles) on a great-circle line. By private jet, typical block time runs about 50 to 70 minutes from wheels-up to touchdown, versus four-plus hours of I-15 traffic by car or a half-day of airport queues commercially.

- Multiple FBO choices on both ends so you depart and arrive closest to your plans.
- Same-day turnarounds, overnighters, and round-trips all structured to your schedule.
- One of the deepest charter markets in North America, which keeps aircraft easy to source.

Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP. More cabin room and a stand-up feel for six to eight, ideal for groups heading to conventions or a weekend on the Strip.
Super-midsize & heavy

Airports & FBOs
Where you depart and where you land
The right airport pairing shaves dead time off both ends. We match the FBO to your home base in Southern California and your destination in the Las Vegas valley.
- Van Nuys (KVNY) - the busiest private-aviation airport in the LA basin and the most common departure point.
- Los Angeles Intl (KLAX), Hawthorne (KHHR), Burbank (KBUR), and Long Beach (KLGB) for proximity to specific neighborhoods.
- Harry Reid Intl (KLAS) - main Las Vegas gateway, FBOs minutes from the Strip.
- Henderson Executive (KHND) and North Las Vegas (KVGT) for quieter, faster turnarounds and lighter aircraft.
Booking & cost
One-way, round-trip, empty legs, and what drives the price
On a lane this short, trip structure matters as much as aircraft choice. Here is how to think about it - and why we quote ranges and cost drivers rather than fixed prices.
One-way vs round-trip
A one-way charter may carry repositioning cost if the aircraft has to fly back empty or reposition for its next trip. Same-day round-trips that keep the crew and aircraft on the ground in Las Vegas are often the most efficient way to fly this pairing.
Empty legs
LA to Las Vegas is one of the highest-frequency charter lanes in the U.S., so empty-leg and repositioning flights surface often - especially around weekends, conventions, and big fights. Flexible dates and times unlock real savings.
Repositioning
If your preferred aircraft is based outside the LA basin, a short positioning flight may be added. We prioritize aircraft already in Southern California to keep this minimal and transparent.
Cost drivers
Aircraft category, trip structure, peak-event demand (CES, major fights, conventions, holiday weekends), overnight vs same-day, FBO fees, and add-ons like catering and ground transport all move the number. We never invent fixed prices.

This is a short hop, so almost any category flies it nonstop with full payload. Turboprops such as the King Air 350 and light jets like the Phenom 300 or Citation CJ3 are efficient and cost-effective. Midsize jets such as the Citation XLS+ or Hawker 800 add cabin comfort, and super-midsize or heavy jets are easy to source thanks to dense traffic on this lane. Range is never a limiting factor here.
