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.
Between 31 July and 28 August 2026 we recorded 8 empty legs from Van Nuys to Las Vegas. None of them carried a published price: every operator on this corridor lists it on request. Each one was about forty five minutes in the air, on four different types, from a Learjet 60XR to a Gulfstream G600.

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.
