What moves the price
Three things move the quote: the date, where the nearest available aircraft sits, and the jet size. Award season in February and March gets busy.
Van Nuys is the usual arrival, Burbank if you're heading to Hollywood or the studios.
What the price leaves out
Quotes don't always show everything up front. Here's what can be added:
- Handling, parking and landing fees charged by the terminals at Harry Reid and Van Nuys.
- Crew overnight costs if you keep the same aircraft for the return.
- Minimums: on a flight this short, many operators bill at least one or two hours, so the bill can be higher than the flight time suggests.

Choosing the right aircraft
A light jet works, but a turboprop is the value pick at this distance: lower hourly cost, similar door-to-door time.
Good to know on this route
- Light jets and turboprops make the most sense for such a short flight.
- After big events, empty legs back to Los Angeles can be easy to find.
- Holiday weekends fill up early.
Ways to bring the price down
- Move by a day: shifting just one day away from a holiday or event often lowers the quote.
- Book peak dates early: for holidays and big events, aircraft run out and prices climb in the last two weeks.
- Look for empty legs: jets often fly one way with nobody on board after dropping off a client. Those flights can sell for much less, but the time is fixed and they can be cancelled.
- Fly midweek: Tuesday to Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Fridays and Sundays.
Booking takes a few steps: send your dates and passenger count, compare all-in quotes, check the operator and sign. Our booking guide walks through each one.
