Las Vegas to Los Angeles private jet prices by aircraft
Flying Las Vegas to Los Angeles on a turboprop means 199 nautical miles and about 1h 00m; ballpark $2,000–$3,500 each way.The table below compares five aircraft classes on the Las Vegas to Los Angeles run. Times are scheduled flight times, not including taxi, and prices are one-way estimates, not quotes. Note that the turboprop, at 1 hour, is the slowest option here, while the light and midsize jets each save more than 10 minutes. The turboprop still earns the recommendation because it handles the short leg efficiently and lands at fields the jets can use too.

Why a turboprop fits this trip
A turboprop is the right pick for 199 nautical miles because the trip is too short for jet speed to pay off. The King Air 350i carries up to 8 passengers at 312 knots, and the Pilatus PC-12 NGX carries 6 at 290 knots, both nonstop. The light jet is faster (47 minutes versus 1 hour) and runs $4,000 to $6,000, so it makes sense when time matters more than cost.
Midsize jets ($5,000 to $8,000) and super-midsize jets ($7,000 to $10,000) shave only a minute or two off the light jet's time on this distance. The heavy jet at $9,500 to $14,500 buys cabin space, not speed. If you are moving a group of 6 to 8 with normal bags and no need for a stand-up cabin, the turboprop does the job at the lowest estimate.

Leaving Las Vegas
Harry Reid International Airport sits 2 miles from the Strip with a 14,835-foot runway, making it the closest option for most Las Vegas departures. Henderson Executive is 10 miles out with a 6,501-foot runway, and North Las Vegas is 7 miles out with 5,005 feet. All three handle private charters.
If your group is staying downtown or on the south Strip, Henderson Executive often means less ground traffic than Harry Reid. North Las Vegas works well for the north side of the valley. Your operator will confirm the FBO and departure time once the flight is booked. In summer, afternoon heat can affect turboprop performance, so early departures are worth considering.
Arriving in Los Angeles
Van Nuys Airport has an 8,001-foot runway and serves the San Fernando Valley, while Hollywood Burbank (6,886 feet) puts you closer to Griffith Park and Pasadena. Los Angeles International has a 12,894-foot runway and handles the biggest jets. Pick the field nearest your final stop to cut the drive.
For Westside destinations like Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, Van Nuys is often the practical choice. For downtown LA and the east side, Burbank can be quicker. LAX is the fallback when your aircraft or schedule requires it. Your broker should match the arrival airport to where you are actually going, not just the biggest field.
| Airport | Code | Runway |
|---|---|---|
| Van Nuys Airport | KVNY / VNY | 8,001 ft |
| Hollywood Burbank/Bob Hope Airport | KBUR / BUR | 6,886 ft |
| Los Angeles International Airport | KLAX / LAX | 12,894 ft |
| Harry Reid International Airport | KLAS / LAS | 14,835 ft |
| Henderson Executive Airport | KHND / HSH | 6,501 ft |
| North Las Vegas Airport | KVGT / VGT | 5,005 ft |
When prices peak on this route
Demand peaks on Friday afternoons out of Las Vegas and Sunday evenings back from Los Angeles, when weekend traffic is heaviest. Book at least a week ahead for those windows. Prices also rise around major conventions and race weekends in Las Vegas, when charter aircraft get tight.
The 229-mile drive takes roughly 4 hours on I-15, so the flight saves most of a day, and that time saving is why last-minute bookings cost more.
