THE ROUTE
New York to Los Angeles by private jet
Private Jet from New York to Los Angeles is the defining transcontinental jet route in the United States — connecting the country’s financial capital with its entertainment and technology capital across 2,450 miles. Finance, media, entertainment, venture capital, and real estate bind these two cities at the highest levels of American business.
Commercial options on this corridor are plentiful but punishing — 5–6 hours in the air plus 2–3 hours of airport logistics on each end, with JFK and LAX ranking among the most congested airports in the country. For executives who need to arrive productive, the commercial experience erases half a business day.
By private jet, you depart Teterboro and land at Van Nuys, Burbank, or Santa Ana — bypassing LAX entirely. The five-hour flight becomes a productive office in the sky, and you arrive steps from your car.

MEMBERSHIP VS. CHARTER
Why FlyRoving members fly this route for less
Every charter broker on this route operates the same way: source an aircraft from an operator, apply a 15–30% margin, and hand you a quote. That markup is never disclosed.
On a heavy jet at broker rates, the margin on a single leg runs $6,000–$18,000. For an executive making this trip monthly, that’s $72,000–$216,000 per year in broker margin.
FlyRoving members pay none of it. The membership is $349/month. Members access flights at wholesale operator rates with no broker margin on top.
