The trip

Skip LAX and start the day in Beverly Hills

Anyone who has landed at LAX knows the routine: a long taxi, a crowded immigration hall, then an hour on the 405 before you see a palm tree that is not in a parking lot. A private jet to Los Angeles skips the whole thing. JETCAB flies into Van Nuys, in the San Fernando Valley, an airport built for private aviation. You clear US Customs inside the FBO and drive over the hills to Beverly Hills in about 15 minutes.

From there you can be at a studio meeting in Burbank or Culver City in the afternoon, at a late lunch in Santa Monica with the ocean in view, or on the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu at golden hour with the surf breaking on your left. Landing fifteen minutes from Rodeo Drive saves you the hour on the 405 that most LAX arrivals spend in traffic.

Why fly private

Why book your private jet to Los Angeles with JETCAB

01

Van Nuys instead of LAX

Van Nuys (VNY) handles private aircraft only, so you never pass through an airline terminal. It sits about 15 minutes from Beverly Hills, close to the studios of Burbank and the Westside, with US Customs cleared inside the FBO.

02

Three aircraft, clear prices

A Learjet 35 for up to 8 passengers starts at $5,200 USD one way, a Challenger 604 for 12 at $10,500 and a Gulfstream GV for 16 at $19,000. Prices are per aircraft and include crew, fuel, catering and permits.

03

Customs paperwork handled

JETCAB files the eAPIS manifest with US Customs and Border Protection about 24 hours before departure and arranges landing permits and FBO handling, so officers already have your details when the aircraft door opens at Van Nuys.

04

Mexico City to Beverly Hills by early afternoon

  1. 7:30 am

    Leave your home or office

    Your driver heads west to Toluca International Airport, 45 to 60 minutes by car from Polanco, Lomas or Santa Fe. If traffic on the highway looks slow, a helicopter transfer covers the same trip in about 25 minutes.

    Northwest over the Sierra Madre

    The flight crosses the mountains of western Mexico and the Gulf of California before reaching the desert of the American Southwest. Breakfast is served on board, and the cabin is quiet enough for calls or a nap.

  4. 12:30 pm CDMX

    Landing at Van Nuys

    About 3 hours 45 minutes after takeoff, you land at Van Nuys. Los Angeles runs one or two hours behind Mexico City, depending on the season, so you gain time. Customs takes minutes inside the FBO.

At your destination

What to do in Los Angeles after you land

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California

Beverly Hills

Rodeo Drive runs three blocks between Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard, lined with flagship boutiques and anchored by the Beverly Wilshire hotel at its foot. A few minutes north on Sunset Boulevard, the pink Beverly Hills Hotel, open since 1912, still draws Hollywood to its Polo Lounge.

Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California

Santa Monica

The pier, with its Ferris wheel and the sign marking the end of Route 66, is the classic first stop. From there, the beach path runs south to Venice for an easy bike ride, and the Third Street Promenade fills with shops and street performers a few blocks inland.

Malibu, Los Angeles, California

Malibu

The Pacific Coast Highway follows the coastline west of Santa Monica past Surfrider Beach, Point Dume and El Matador State Beach, where sea stacks rise from the sand. Go in the late afternoon for the light, and stay for dinner with the ocean below the window.

Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, California

Griffith Observatory

On the south slope of Mount Hollywood, this Art Deco observatory opened in 1935 and admission is still free. The terraces look across the whole basin to Downtown and the ocean, with the Hollywood Sign on the hill nearby. Come at sunset and stay for the telescopes.

Best time to fly private to Los Angeles

Los Angeles is mild almost all year, which makes it easy to plan. September and October are often the warmest and clearest months, with beach days and long golden evenings. May and June bring the coastal clouds locals call May Gray and June Gloom, which usually burn off by early afternoon. In fall and winter, dry Santa Ana winds can bring heat and high fire risk to the hills. Awards season, from January to March, fills hotels on the Westside and in Beverly Hills, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena opens every new year. For those dates, reserve the aircraft and your hotel early.

Arriving at Van Nuys (VNY) by private jet

JETCAB flies to Van Nuys Airport (VNY), the main private aviation airport for Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley. It handles private aircraft only, so you never pass through an airline terminal. Beverly Hills is about 15 minutes away over the hills, and Burbank's studios, Hollywood and the Westside are within easy reach. US Customs and Border Protection clears international arrivals inside the FBO, using the eAPIS manifest JETCAB files about 24 hours before departure. Your car can wait just outside the private terminal, and your bags go straight from the aircraft to the trunk.

Documents for a private flight to Los Angeles

Every passenger needs a valid passport, and Mexican citizens also need a valid US visa. Travelers of other nationalities need the entry document their passport requires for the United States. JETCAB files the eAPIS manifest with US Customs and Border Protection, so we need passenger names, dates of birth and passport details about 24 hours before departure. Officers check your documents inside the FBO at Van Nuys when you land.
