About This Route

The Los Angeles to San Francisco return is a prime empty leg opportunity. As Silicon Valley executives fly south for meetings in LA, their aircraft often return empty to Bay Area bases—creating significant savings for northbound travelers with flexible schedules.

Why Fly Private VNY → SFO?

After wrapping up meetings in LA, skip the LAX chaos and I-405 traffic. Departing from Van Nuys or Burbank puts you on a jet in minutes, landing at SFO, Oakland, or San Jose with time to spare for dinner in the city.

Best Times for Deals

Late afternoon and evening flights offer the best empty leg availability as jets reposition back to their SF-based operators. Thursday and Friday afternoons are particularly good for deals as aircraft head home for the weekend.

Departure Options

Van Nuys (VNY) is the primary private jet hub for LA, but Burbank (BUR) and Santa Monica (SMO) offer closer access depending on your location. All three have excellent FBO facilities and quick turnaround times.
