One way empty legs between Van Nuys and Las Vegas, exactly as the operators list them. The operator confirms availability and the price with you directly.
Straight line distance between the two cities. Actual routing and flight time depend on the aircraft and the airports.
Van Nuys sits in the San Fernando Valley and handles more of the Los Angeles private traffic than any other field, and Las Vegas is 200 nautical miles east of it. Of the 40 legs we recorded touching Van Nuys, 21 involved Las Vegas. The next busiest partners, Oakland and San Francisco, had four each.
This is the quieter half of the busiest pair on our whole board. Thirteen legs ran Las Vegas to Van Nuys against eight coming back this way, because more paid flights land in Las Vegas than leave it, so more aircraft go home to the Valley empty than come out to Nevada empty.
Constantly and with very little warning. Three legs, all on a Learjet 60XR, departed on consecutive days in the middle of August, and seven of the eight had already flown by the time this page was built.
Approximate corridor between Van Nuys and Las Vegas. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
On a flight this short the drive at each end is the longer half of the journey. Van Nuys is quick for the Valley and the west side of Los Angeles and slow for anywhere south of downtown, and at the Las Vegas end these listings name the city rather than the field, so ask which one before you book a car.

Every leg we have recorded between Van Nuys and Las Vegas, in either direction, since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.
One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

Each row is a pair of airports as the operator named them, in the direction flown. Both directions of the corridor are counted. An operator that names only the city leaves us the city, which is why some rows are city names.
The price on a card is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft. What that comes to per seat, across every type we see, is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.
No operator on this corridor publishes a price. Every leg says price on request, and none of them publishes a seat count either, so the two things you would most want to compare are both missing from the listings and have to come from the operator.
The cabins are not small. Three of the eight legs were Gulfstream G600s and one was a G450, long range aircraft flying a 200 nautical mile hop because that is where they happened to be, not because the route calls for them.
Ask the operator three things: whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through, and which Los Angeles field you are actually leaving from.
Van Nuys to Las Vegas empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Van Nuys to Las Vegas and Las Vegas to Van Nuys, and send you nothing else.
