Private jet empty legs
Los Angeles → Cabo San Lucas
Los Angeles to Los Cabos (SJD) is the busiest western-hemisphere North America-to-Mexico private aviation corridor. The 2h 15min flight from Van Nuys (VNY) or Burbank (BUR) into Cabo's San José del Cabo airport generates concentrated Thursday-Friday outbound and Sunday-Monday return demand throughout November-May. Mid-size jets (Citation Sovereign, Challenger 350, Gulfstream G280) dominate the corridor at $12,000-18,000 one-way; empty leg pricing routinely lists at $8,000-12,000, with the deepest discounts on Sunday evening / Monday morning returns. Cabo's SJD airport has dedicated FBO ramps for private aviation (World Fuel, Universal, Signature) and clears US customs on the return leg into VNY or SNA — critical for wealthy LA-area clients who value avoiding LAX commercial processing.

Why this route has empty legs
Heavy Thu-Fri outbound demand LA → Cabo throughout Nov-May; matching Sun-Mon returns as weekend guests fly home. Aircraft repositioning between Cabo trips and LA-Vegas / LA-Aspen routes creates additional empty capacity.
Seasonality
Peak season: November through April (US winter escape, whale-watching Jan-Mar). Peak demand: US holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Presidents' Day, spring break). Empty legs: highest supply on Sunday evening / Monday morning returns throughout winter. Summer (Jun-Sep) has reduced supply due to hurricane season + heat.

Frequently asked questions
San José del Cabo (SJD) or Cabo San Lucas (CSL)?+
SJD is the international airport — 25-40 min drive to Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, or the Corridor hotels. CSL is a small executive airport 30 min northwest, used only for small light jets or turboprops (King Air, PC-12). 99% of LA-Cabo private aviation uses SJD.
Best LA departure airport?+
Van Nuys (VNY) is the operator standard — deepest business aviation FBO network in Southern California, no commercial mixing. Burbank (BUR) is the northern alternative for Malibu + Beverly Hills clients. LAX private is available but has commercial mixing. Long Beach (LGB) is used for South Bay / Orange County clients. John Wayne (SNA) works for Newport / Laguna coast.
Mexico entry procedure by private jet?+
Standard Mexico entry — Mexican customs + immigration at SJD (on-site), Multiple-Entry Visa filed by operator. FMM tourist card issued at arrival. Firearms restrictions strictly enforced. Your operator handles customs coordination + documentation.
Can I fly direct to Todos Santos or East Cape?+
Not by jet — Todos Santos has a small airstrip (TSL) for turboprops only; East Cape (Punta Colorada / La Ribera) has private ranch airstrips. Most trips fly SJD then 60-90 min drive north. King Air / Pilatus PC-12 charters direct to Todos Santos are available but scarce.
