The route
This transcontinental route links two of the busiest private aviation markets in the country, and it draws everyone from entertainment executives shuttling between coasts to families heading west for an extended stay. The distance, 2257 nautical miles, means most travelers choose a Midsize Jet or Super Midsize Jet for the balance of comfort and cost, while a Heavy Jet or an Ultra Long Range aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550 suits those who want more cabin space or want to fly nonstop with extra range to spare. Price is driven mainly by aircraft category and the mechanics of positioning: since New York and Los Angeles are both major private aviation hubs, finding an aircraft already on the ground at Teterboro or Westchester, rather than one that must reposition empty, can meaningfully affect the quote.
