Los Angeles to Las Vegas by private jet
At 200 nm this is barely a flight, wheels up to wheels down in under an hour, which makes it a pure minimum-billing exercise: nearly every operator invoices two hours regardless. The smart play here is the smallest cabin you can tolerate, or a seat on someone else’s repositioning.

Assumes 4 passengers, spot-market rates, and the two-hour daily billing minimum where the leg is shorter. Positioning, meaning where the aircraft starts its day, is the swing factor no table can capture; it is why identical trips quote 30% apart.

When you fly matters
Fight weekends, CES in January, and major residencies create genuine sellouts. On those dates the route prices like a transcon; midweek otherwise it is the cheapest jet flight in America.
The empty-leg angle
This corridor has genuine empty-leg supply: repositioning flights sold at 25 to 75% off. The catch is that the schedule belongs to someone else’s trip and can move or vanish. Worth playing if your dates bend. Read the empty-legs guide before treating one as a plan.
Aircraft that fit this mission
- Pilatus PC-12 NGX: The Swiss workhorse: single-engine economics, big cross-section, happy on gravel strips.
- Embraer Phenom 100EV: Airline-grade avionics in the smallest Embraer; brisk for the class.
- Embraer Phenom 300E: Best-selling light jet for over a decade, and the default answer under 2,000 nm.
Prices apply in reverse (LAS → VNY), though empty-leg supply and peak days often differ by direction. Ready for quotes? Build a proper RFP and make brokers respond to your brief.
